Things to do on JUST Beachcomber Island

Massage Bure


If you're not feeling up to travel, then there are plenty of things to do on Beachcomber Island. Beachcomber offers a range of things to do, from water sports, to relaxation. If you're one for water sports or being tugged behind a boat at high speeds then there's lots to choose from. Tube riding, banana boat rides, para sailing or a calm snorkel there's much to do throughout your day. I decided it'd be fun if i went on a nice, easy banana boat ride, unfortunately i ended up with some form of a concussion (after smashing my head against another persons), but it was fun for the first few moments. Half an hour afterwards, i thought I'd go ahead and give the tube riding a go. Probably not the best for someone with a concussion, the man told me he would take it smoothly and I'd be fine. I should've realised by the big smirk on his face he meant otherwise, but for anyone else who decides to choose this, they'll have an awesome time. I know my friends did. A friend of mine went para sailing around Beachcomber island, he said the views were amazing and the adrenaline rush was awesome. I think for this who seek the thrill, these 3 are ideal for you. For a fun, but calmer experience, you can borrow snorkels (for free) from the water bure, which is a little hut. You can experience a lot of marine life around Beachcomber island, its amazing. Sharks, starfish, stingrays and the most outstanding colourful tropical fish you'll ever see. The best part is, they come right up and swim with you. Although i admit i was scared, the sharks seemed to be looking at me funny, they're all very harmless. A Fijian woman informed me that none were poisonous...although i beg to differ. Nothing brightly coloured red or yellow seems safe to me. Regardless, it is incredibly entertaining. This man from Sydney explores his Fijian snorkelling experience through his blog also: www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Fiji/Yasawa-Islands/blog-437730.html . For those who wish to relax and experience less of a thrill, there is the beauty bure. That means you can get a nice massage, a facial or a hair braid. Many of the boys i went to Fiji with thought it'd be fun, and came back with awesome hairdo's.
