Experience the thrill and beauty of a scenic helicopter flight over Waya Island in Fiji's Yasawa group of islands. Explore the remote and less explored islands of Fiji in a unique and exhilarating way.
The helicopter rises off its pad, darts across the water like a dragonfly and then heads directly for the mountain crags of Waya Island .
There are 20 islands in the group, some of them occupied by well-known resorts, such as Turtle Island, Octopus and Blue Lagoon Beach Resort. There are manicured lawns along the foreshore of the ocean, which has an edge of soft sand on a coral reef. Hedges are neatly trimmed and paths are lined with flourishing tropical plants. The mountain behind is dense with wild vegetation and the beach is overhung with a forest of natural palms.In fact, the resort on Waya Island began its life 16 years ago when its owner, a New Zealander who wishes to remain anonymous, discovered the location.
There’s a picnic bench right on the edge of the sand and I co-opt it for my office in the morning before the sun gets too hot, with Moji bringing me fresh coconuts to sip. I feel like a high-tech Robinson Crusoe. Unlike some small resorts, meals aren’t communal, but taken whenever guests wish at separate tables and from a limited menu of vibrant daily choices. There are no buffets; it’s all a la carte. Freshly caught fish is always wonderful. Meals might include traditional Kokoda, pan-searedfillet or a tempura-battered local catch with cassava chips. Everything I eat is bursting with flavour and freshness, beautifully presented, even though the kitchen is only cooking for me. It’s not pretentious.
