Robinson Crusoe Island accommodation Location: Offshore From Natadola Beach

Your stay begins with a pickup from all major Nadi, Denarau, and Coral Coast locations, and a drive to the jetty in Navisabasaba. A 30 minute boat trip down the Tuva river, followed by 10 minutes across the lagoon, will see you arriving in 28 acres of tropical paradise: Robinson Crusoe Island.

The island doesn't have it's own water supply so its either shipped in from the mainland or collected by rain tank. Sea water is used for public toilets which makes them look unclean. Dorm showers and toilets are pretty dated and could do with an upgrade. Bures are nice.

You can choose to stay on the island (different levels of accommodation are available) or take a day trip. As you are on an island, it's a little difficult to just "pop over" to the mainland to go to the bank, restaurant, supermarket etc. So you might want to consider this before you arrive; bring the things you need. For example, grab a small torch as the generator goes off at midnight. Insect repellent is a good idea (although mosquito's don't seem to be a problem here), as well as spare batteries for your camera.

You can go on a guided bush walk to learn about island medicines, or join in with a traditional "fish drive". And of course no resort would be complete without beach volleyball!
