What a lovely holiday our family just had on Castaway Island in Fiji. We took our own advice, reading all the top tips from my post on How To Save Money On A Fiji Family Holiday.
So… it was low season plus there was a great special on where meals were included. This was all important as the six of us were in two bures – not cheap!
This photo is from Castaway Island, but we took all the rest!
The absolute highlight for me was doing heaps of snorkelling straight off the beach. Here’s a giant clam who loves on the coral reef there.
Watching the sun set into the sea was a wonderful evening activity.
Teen16 took this photo when he was learning to dive.
An underwater daughter being a ballerina.
We found Nemo on a few occasions. Clown fish are game wee fellows.
This coral bommie was explored on an outer reef snorkel adventure we all did.
Mr9 was pretty brave snorkelling in deep waters, but the clarity helped, I think.
My favourite breakfast; scrumptious papaya, bircher muesli with toasted almonds and a few prunes.
Evening’s golden sunlight lights up the amazing view from our bure.
It’s this simple, and this beautiful.
Lots of gymnastic were enjoyed!
View from the bure in the middle of the day. The snorkelling on this side is good too.
Let’s end with another sunset photo.
Oh, all right, just one more!
I have plans for posts on things to do at castaway Island, but that’s for after Christmas.
Memories of a happy holiday can last a lifetime.
Very grateful for the rest, the beauty and the photos too.
It was just fantastic, Jean. I was out on the reef with my snorkel every day. There were a few sea lice on the first day but thank goodness they were washed away by the second day. Take me back, I loved it…
What a wonderful and relaxing time you had! It may be low season but the water looks great! I’m sure you had endless days of snorkelling 😉
