Looking for the best organised Fiji island hopping tours? I don’t blame you! Even though I love independent travel, sometimes it’s nice to go for the simplest and easiest, done-for-you option!  

Especially if you’re heading to Fiji where there are over 300 islands, I get that it can feel overwhelming trying to plan it all yourself. 

When I first visited Fiji, I island hopped with Awesome Adventures Fiji and it made things SO much easier. It took a lot of the hassle out of planning, and it meant I could focus more on enjoying the experience. 

So if you’re dreaming of visiting several islands in Fiji like I did, I definitely recommend an organised experience. To help you out, I’ve put together my three favourite Fiji island hopping tours below so all you have to do is book the one you most like the sound of!

1 Blue Lagoon Cruises: Escape to Paradise Cruise

🏝️ Type: Small Group Cruise ⏳ Tour Length: 8 days | Check rates & availability

Blue Lagoon Cruises is first on the list because it’s the best choice if you want the most relaxing and laid-back island hopping experience! 

Blue Lagoon Cruises is part of the award-winning South Sea Cruises Group, which is known for being one of the leaders in Fiji tourism. I also found out that over a third of all international visitors to Fiji use a South Sea Cruises product which is really cool – it’s one of the best options if you want a reliable company.

With Blue Lagoon Cruises, you can choose 3, 4 and 7-night itineraries through the Yasawa and Mamanuca Islands in Fiji. My choice would be the 7-day option so you can go at a slower pace and take more in.

What I like is that even though each cruise is based on a set itinerary, there’s a flexible element too so things can shift around depending on special events or weather conditions – this means you’ll get the best experience!

“Everything about this cruise was unbelievably fantastic. The food, cabin accommodation, entertainment, experiences on and off the boat were all first class. But more important than all of this were THE CREW ….words escape me to sufficiently describe what a professional and beautiful group they were.” – Peter (see more reviews)

Blue Lagoon Cruises is also a small ship (which I love!) with just 32 cabins and a maximum of 64 guests. Because of this, you’ll get a personalised experience as well as access to some of the most remote and beautiful places.

SO much is included in this Fiji island hopping tour so you also get great value for money. The cruise fare includes all daily meals (with sparkling wine at breakfast!), ship entertainment and use of snorkelling gear.

Plus, you get included shore excursions and activities, including a trip to the film location of Cast Away, snorkelling with reef sharks and manta rays, village visits and a guided tour of the Sawa-I-Lau Caves.

• Regions visited: Mamanuca Islands, Yasawa Islands

• Included transfers? Yes, complimentary coach transfers are offered on Friday departure days

• Meals included? Yes

• Included activities: Cast Away island visit, snorkelling with reef sharks, local village visits, reef snorkelling, cooking lesson, non-motorised watersports, guided Sawa-I-Lau Caves trip, swimming with manta rays (May-Oct)

• Accommodation: Air-conditioned on-board cabins with a yacht-style en suite

2 Awesome Adventures Fiji: Coconut Cruiser

🏝️ Type: Self-Guided Package ⏳ Tour Length: 7 days | Check rates & availability

Awesome Adventures was my choice when I first visited Fiji. This is a company that offers a range of inclusive island hopping packages as well as passes that allow you to explore Fiji at your own pace.

What I didn’t realise when I booked is that the inclusive packages aren’t guided or escorted tours – they’re simply a done-for-you package that takes the hassle out of planning. 

So if you want more of a small group experience with a trip manager, this might not be the one for you. HOWEVER, if you just want the logistics sorted (or you want a more independent experience), it’s a brilliant option. 

“Fantastic trip for people who do not want to think too much about holiday planning. The resorts were great, as well as the staff who were all extremely friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend for anyone thinking about it.” – Angela (see more reviews)

Like Blue Lagoon Cruises, Awesome Adventures is part of the South Sea Cruises Group so it’s a good choice if you’re looking for a Fijian-owned, reputable company to book through.

Awesome Adventures offers a choice of inclusive packages ranging from 3 to 11 nights. I travelled on the 12-day Fiji Explorer package, but the 7-day Coconut Cruiser is the company’s bestseller and the most popular option so it’s the one I’m including!

Within your Awesome Adventures package cost, you’ll get coach transfers to and from Port Denarau before and after your trip. You also get 6 nights accommodation in 4 regions, transfers to and from all your island resorts, a range of activities AND a full-day pass to Malamala Beach Club 😍

What I also love is that with this Fiji island hopping tour you can pick your accommodation type, which means you can stay in private bures for a more upgraded experience.

If you want more details about Awesome Adventures, you can read the review of my trip here – the post covers all the pros & cons of the company and everything you can expect.

• Regions visited: Mamanuca Islands, Yasawa Islands

• Included transfers? Yes, complimentary coach transfers to / from Port Denarau from most nearby hotels

• Meals included? No, each resort has a compulsory daily meal plan that needs to be paid on arrival

• Choice of included activities: Snorkelling with reef sharks, marine biology tour, guided night snorkel, guided hiking, sunset tubing, local village visit, swimming with manta rays (May-Oct), guided reef snorkelling, Sawa-I-Lau Caves trip

• Accommodation: South Sea Island, Barefoot Kuata Island Resort or Octopus Resort, Manta Ray Island Resort or Barefoot Manta Island Resort, Blue Lagoon Beach Resort or Nanuya Island Resort

*The resort you stay at in each region is dependent on availability at the time of booking. Activities are also subject to booking dates.

3 Private Fiji Island Hopping Tour

🏝️ Type: Bespoke Private Tour ⏳ Tour Length: 10 days | Check rates & availability

It could be that a private, tailor-made Fiji island hopping tour is more for you. You’ll find travel agents (like me in my other job!) who can put together a bespoke itinerary for you. But, as an example that you can check out now, I love this option that you can book through Responsible Travel.

The website breaks down a little of what you could expect on this trip – from exploring the main island of Viti Levu to heading to the Mamanuca Islands as well as beautiful Taveuni. 

As a premium option, the itinerary can also be completely modified to make it your own. 

I’m also obsessed with Responsible Travel because of their ethos. The company is one of the pioneers of responsible tourism, so they screen every holiday to ensure that each trip is as sustainable as possible and maximises the benefits for local people and places.

• Regions visited: Viti Levu Island, Mamanuca Islands, Taveuni Island

Awesome Adventures Fiji Passes

It’s possible to travel between islands in Fiji by seaplane, helicopter and water taxi transfers. However, if you’re thinking of heading to the Mamanuca or Yasawa Islands and don’t want a tour package, I recommend grabbing one of Awesome Adventures’ passes.

These passes are essentially a hop-on-hop-off boat pass through the Yasawa Islands region. Passes range from 5 to 15 days and are a great option if you want to design your own itinerary or travel at your own pace.

You can go for the Yasawa Flyer Bula Pass which is the most basic option and just covers your transfers. 

Otherwise, the Awesome Pass includes pre-paid accommodation. You can also decide on the level of accommodation when you book – including an upgraded option with lovely beachfront bures 😍

Verdict: Best island hopping Fiji tours 

Fiji is one of the best places in the world for tropical island hopping and booking an inclusive package or a small ship cruise is the top way to experience it.

⭐ ️If you can’t decide which tour to pick – I’d go for the 8-day Blue Lagoon Cruise. It’s a super relaxed option with so many inclusions!

Regardless of which you choose – I know you’ll have an amazing time if you go island hopping in Fiji. It was honestly one of my favourite travel experiences and you won’t regret it!

I hope this post has helped you understand your options and given you all the info you need to book your dream trip.
