The Fiji Islands – A Treasure Trove of Mother Nature

If the Fiji islands were a painting, they would be a Renaissance landscape that you could not take your eyes off. They are truly a treasure trove of islands, each with its unique charm. 


From the bustling energy of Viti Levu to the serene beauty of the Mamanuca Islands, you can embark on a sailing adventure that takes you to some of the most diverse and breathtaking landscapes. Anchor your yacht in hidden coves, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and explore pristine white-sand beaches on a whim.


The Fijian people are known for their warmth and hospitality. Yachting in Fiji provides an opportunity to interact with the locals, learn about their traditions, and experience the genuine, heartwarming Bula spirit. Visiting a Fijian village, participating in a traditional Kava ceremony, and enjoying a lovo feast are some of the cultural experiences that will make your journey unforgettable and are especially a joy and cultural enrichment for the little ones.

Your Stay in Fiji – Luxurious Decks or 5-Star Hotels

While yachting in Fiji offers the freedom of pure and honest exploration of the wild nature, you can also enjoy the best of both worlds. Fiji boasts world-class luxury resorts scattered across its islands. These exclusive properties offer fine dining, spa experiences, golf clubs, and other amenities that can complement your yachting adventure. These resorts are perfect for a serene escape or a romantic overnight stay.


The Ideal Time to Yacht the Fiji Islands

When planning a yachting adventure in the Fiji Islands, timing is crucial. The South Pacific paradise that is the Fiji Islands experiences a range of weather conditions throughout the year, and the perfect time to visit depends on your preferences and what you wish to experience. Generally, Fiji has a summer, the wet season, and a winter, the dry season. 


For the most convenient weather and activities, go during the high season. If you seek tranquility and green landscapes, opt for the shoulder season. Yachting in Fiji during both these seasons promises an unforgettable experience.


Abeona has summarized the different seasons for your convenience to give you an overview of the ideal travel time for your individual needs:

1. High Season – June to September

This is the best and most popular time for yachting in the Fiji Islands from our point of view. You'll enjoy dry and mild weather, great sailing conditions, abundant marine life, and cultural festivals. 


Naturally, the high season can get a little more crowded than the shoulder season, but generally, the Fiji Islands are still an exclusive and natural destination that does not suffer too much from tourism.

2. Shoulder Season – May to June and October

The shoulder season in the Fiji Islands is the summer in Fiji. Fiji’s shoulder season is quite short but beautiful. While the wet season combines the hottest and wettest weather of the year, you'll experience lush greenery, warm waters, fewer crowds, and potentially lower prices. 


If you do not like the heat and humidity, we recommend you opt for the months from June to September instead.

3. Cyclone Season – December to April

Be cautious during the months of December to April, as cyclones can occur in the Fijan cyclone season. Stay updated on weather conditions if you plan to visit, but we generally do not recommend our clients a yachting trip during the cyclone season. 


Naturally, your choice depends on your personal preferences, and Abeona is happy to consult you on the different travel seasons in Fiji to help you ascertain which month might suit your needs best.


To give you a little inspiration on what your paradisical stay in Fiji could look like, we have curated an exemplary yachting itinerary for you.
