A real tropical paddling adventure
On the Yasawa Tropical Island Resort Adventure, we arrive into the Yasawas in style on a spectacular Helicopter flight over turquoise seas and picturesque islands. We enjoy six nights spread over three different resorts along the Yasawa Island chain. Along with fantastic tropical paddling, enjoy daily snorkels over vibrant reefs, beach-combing, short hikes and fabulous food! Our interaction with local islanders plays a special part on all of our Yasawa Island kayak trips. The welcome we receive by both young and old, with joyful greetings of ‘bula’, makes the hospitality we receive a trip highlight. This itinerary is suitable for fit and active beginner paddlers as well as those with prior paddling experience. Join SSV and immerse yourself in the rhythm of the Yasawa Islands for a genuine getaway which will leave you refreshed, relaxed and revitalised!
