Fiji is a tropical paradise for a yachting holiday

If you’re looking for a travel destination, one of the most coveted and well-known is a small group of islands in the South Pacific known as Fiji. A census in 2012 showed that three-quarters of people who went to Fiji did so for holidays, so it’s time to see what you’re missing! Interestingly, of the multitude of islands that make up Fiji, only a little over 300 are large enough for humans to inhabit, and only about a third of those islands are inhabited by humans. In 1970, it became an independent republic from Great Britain, but for the hundred years prior to its independence, Fiji was actually a Crown Colony.

And if visiting a tropical paradise isn’t enough, why not do it in style and travel by private yacht? It sounds expensive and time consuming, but it is actually one of the most relaxing and luxurious ways to enjoy a tropical paradise like Fiji. Since there are over 500 inlets in Fiji, there are plenty of ways for your private boat to access the over 300 islands that are big enough for people to live on. Not only that, but as you travel you will be aware of over 1,500 different species of aquatic life between these beautiful islands!

For the more active traveler, there are plenty of activities to enjoy from the back door on a private yacht. Fantasy Reef is one of the most famous dive spots in the world, and it’s right on Waya Island, one of the largest islands in Fiji. Or, if you don’t want to deal with all that gear, just go snorkeling: with over 4,000 miles of reef just below the surface, there are plenty of amazing places to go to be exposed to the colorful and stunning scenery. And, if you get tired of water sports, fear not, there are still plenty of things to do. For example, the islands are very mountainous because they were formed by volcanic activity that still rises from time to time. The highest point is Mount Tomanivi at over 4,000 feet, making Fiji a great place to hike.

However, if you are looking for a more relaxed vacation, a Fiji yacht charter can also accommodate you. Sail to Blue Lagoon Island or any of the other long beaches during the day and enjoy the beautiful views from your easy chair on the boat deck. Relax on the picturesque sandy beaches that are the image of postcards and paintings.

With a land mass that is slightly smaller than New Jersey in the United States, people don’t travel to Fiji because of its size. What they do travel for is the cultural experience, scenery and sport, and a private yacht will give you all of those things, no matter what your reason is for coming to this tropical paradise.
