• Please print a copy of our e-ticket or have it readily available on your smart phone/tablet, or note down your booking reference number for check-in.
• The Resorts’ booked through Awesome Adventures Fiji will provide you with linen, towels, and most provide basic toiletries – some properties may charge a small fee for the use of towels in their dorms. We suggest that you bring your own toiletries and may also wish to bring your own towel as well as sunscreen, insect repellent (with DEET or similar), swimwear, a sunhat, and sunglasses. Light, loose clothing is recommended during the day with something warmer for those cooler evenings. The resorts all have generators with the majority operating 24 hours a day, voltage and power sockets are the same as those used in Australia and New Zealand (220 – 240 volts).
• Unless otherwise stipulated by the resort you are staying at, we do advise not to drink the water in the rooms/bures as in many cases this is not potable water. However, most of the resorts we book do ensure that the water accessing the kitchen, bar and the restaurant is all filtered to drinking standards. All the resorts will have filtered drinking water available for you to refill your reusable drink bottle.
• There are no banks in the Mamanuca or Yasawa Islands, so please take a credit/debit card for any incidentals. You will find ATM cash machines at Nadi International Airport, Wailoaloa Bay and at Port Denarau should you wish to take a small amount of cash with you.

• Meals are NOT included in the accommodation price and the set Meal Plan costs must be either prepaid at the time of booking or paid directly at each of the resorts upon check-in (in Fijian dollars). Prices are determined by the resorts and may be subject to price increases as each Resort reserves the right to change the cost of their compulsory meal packages (not common but can happen). Meals are normally served at specific times of the day e.g., breakfast 8am – 9am, providing an opportunity for you to meet fellow travellers. Meal plans commence from arrival at your resort. You will generally arrive at your resort in time for lunch, therefore day one will include Lunch and Dinner. On the day of your departure from each resort, only Breakfast will be included. Should your resort connection not depart for your next destination until after lunch and you wish to have lunch while waiting this will be at your own cost. If you have not already advised us, we recommend that you notify your resort as soon as you arrive if you have any dietary requirements.
