| The Yasawa group of islands are the western most part of Fiji. The chain consists of about 20 sparsely populated islands, with no roads or shops, villages survive on agriculture and tourism. The Yasawa Flyer, a high speed catamaran, weaves its way through the islands, connecting them to the outside world. Our first anchorage is in Sawa i Lau (meaning Tunnel to the Lau) Famous for its caves which according to legend, have tunnels connecting it to the Lau group of islands several hundreds of miles away. . .who needs a high speed catamaran?
