This is a top pick! ... got into the dorm and as usual made a bee-line for me. Caught the catamaran from the Wanna Taka and arrived at the Waya Lailai Ecohaven resort by late afternoon. I think they call the place an Ecohaven because it's pretty basic but it's pleasant ...

Waya Lailai

Waya Lailai Island - Waya Lailai Ecohaven Resort
Got to Waya Lailai around 4ish so we just settled in to our dorm and had a wee wander about the resort. It's a pretty cool place with a big massive rock hanging over the resort which looks so surreal.! We were pretty starving as our lunch at Coral View ...
Octopus Resort Fiji
They say that a picture speaks a thousand words... In the case of Fiji we are going to leave the pictures to tell the story. All we can add is that yes the sea is really that colour. Yes it really was that quiet and yes it is paradise. We recommend ...
Waya Lailai, Happy New Year!!

Cool Cuttle Fish!

Arrival at Wayalailai
... really nice, and a good guitarist too which we found out as he played songs for us as we ate. One thing I've noticed about Fiji is that it seems you'll rarely find a guitar with all six strings, especially on the islands as it's not like there's a ...
Stop, hammock time!
Today consisted of recovering from drinking a heroic amount of Bounty Rum, at 58% it's got to be the strongest rum I've ever had but it was worth it as we were celebrating Kieran's birthday and also giving him and Niall a boozy 1AM pre send off party in ...
