Hey Matt,

I know it’s been a while for you since you visited Fiji.
I am planning to go there next week and was wondering how the Bull pass is working.
Are you able to jump of any island on the route you want? What about travelling to the next island. Is it possible to get on the ferry from each island without going back to the mainland?
E.g. staying two night at manolo island and go afterwards directly to barefoot island (without going back to the mainland)?
Thank you very much for your help,

Cheers,
Marcel

Hey Matt,

It was great meeting you in Coral Gables. I realized I have enough miles to go to Australia, Fiji, and South Korea in one trip. I’ve been dying to check out Fiji and partake in an authentic Kava ceremony so I will be doing this very soon. Where did you stay in the Yasawa Islands? I’m seeing resorts for $20/night(?)

Hi Matt

I love your website and have referred to it often while planning my own adventures. I am leaving in august to go backpacking for 5 months. one of my stop is Fiji, I have a good budget, but I am still concerned about the costs of backpacking here especially accommodation being as limited as it is. I was thinking I might have to change my flights as I am currently going to be in Fiji for 18 days. Is the bula pass the most cost efficient way of backpacking Fiji or are there cheaper options?

Thanks

Is it cheaper to get the Bula Combo Pass or just pay for (dorm) rooms as you go?? I’m going in November and have heard the rates go down??

Thanks!!!

In reply to linda. All the resorts are on the on the island. It's a set price. Most islands only have one place to stay.

We are staying in Fiji for 20 days. Do they give cheaper pices because of the length of the time?

I couldn’t find any hostels for two. We want to go everywhere in Fiji. Do you have advice for me about the cheapest places to stay? I love your hop-on-off boat pass.

Ditto that………….I’d be interested in the islands that offer scuba diving as well.
(Nice addition to the website!)
