This archipelago consists of approximately 20 volcanic islands, stretching for about 80 kilometers in a north-easterly direction from the main island of Viti Levu.

They offer a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life, making them a popular destination for honeymooners, families, and adventure seekers alike. The islands are relatively undeveloped compared to other tourist spots in Fiji, which adds to their charm and appeal. Visitors can indulge in a variety of activities such as snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and hiking, or simply relax and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

The accommodation options range from budget-friendly backpacker hostels to luxurious boutique resorts, catering to a wide spectrum of preferences and budgets. The Yasawa Islands are also famous for their role in the 1980 film "The Blue Lagoon," which showcased their exotic allure to audiences worldwide.
