The Yasawa Islands remote, rugged islands with white beaches, swaying palms and turquoise blue water. They consist of about 20 volcanic islands that are spread out over an area of 135 square kilometers, there are six main islands and several small ones. The extensive group of mountainous islands, some with peaks reaching as high as 600 metres above sea level, stretch in a north-east direction for about 80 kilometers.

Before 1950 tourists were not allowed to set foot on the islands, with land based tourism only starting in 1987. The islands are now a popular, but certainly not crowded, destination for travelers seeking a true tropical island paradise escape.
