Getting to Octopus Resort

Getting to Octopus

Octopus Resort is located 27 nm from the Fijian mainland, on Waya Island, the largest land mass in the Yasawa Island Group.

Octopus's own fast new water taxi "Magic", departs daily from Vuda Marina ( a few kms from the Airport in Nadi) at 10am, the trip to Octopus takes approx 50 mins and returns from the resort daily in the afternoon at 1 pm.

At peak times we operate an additional daily transfer giving customers an option of later departures from the mainland and from the resort. One these days our boat departs Vuda marina at 9am and 1pm and departs from the resort at 11am and 3pm. The additional boat run is done on an adhoc basis and is dependent on customer demand. Due to the last minute nature of the second service we can not guarantee that a second departure is available however we will accommodate customers where we can. If you prefer a later departure please enquire with our reservation staff or resort management team on the day prior to your arrival or departure to establish if an additional transfer run will be operating.

If your flight arrives in Fiji after 4pm you may need to stay one night on the mainland before your stay at Octopus. If your flight departs Fiji before 11 am you may have to spend the night before your departure on the mainland.

Magic is available for private charter for those wanting to connect flight times outside the time windows for our regular daily runs.

Charter rate starts from $300 USD for up to 4 pax, for more than 4 people it is $63 per person.

Island Hoppers Helicopter Service

... and for the glitterati amongst us, there is the Helicopter service offered by Island Hoppers.

We will be happy to make a booking on your behalf.

So that's all the hard stuff, let us take care of all the details, all you need to do now is book and then come join us for a cocktail and a sunset sometime soon.
