About your sailing safari

Barefoot Island Lodge Bure Accommodation and Facilities

The Barefoot Lodge offers stunning coral gardens right off the beach where you can snorkel, kayak, and swim with the local manta rays; or spend a few lazy hours alternating between the hammock and lagoon. The Lodge has a low impact policy. Where possible our aim is to; preserve the natural environment; maintain an authentic Fijian experience; and replace 21st Century noise with the silence of the stars. The Barefoot Lodge operates on very limited power sources. Energy efficient systems are used to blend with the natural environment. The accommodation is twenty twin share waterfront bures built and thatched in traditional style by local villagers. Each bure has two single beds which can be pushed together if you prefer (linen supplied but please BYO towel). The showers and toilets are communal with cool fresh water.

Safari Itinerary

Your adventure begins with a full day cruise through the Mamanuca and Southern Yasawa Islands to our tropical base camp - the Barefoot Lodge on beautiful Drawaqa Island. Each morning Spirit of the Pacific sets a new course to islands, reefs, caves and fishing spots. Go island trekking and visit traditional villages, learn a little of the sailor's art from our friendly crew or simply laze on deck. Each evening we return to the Barefoot Lodge where sunset swims, volleyball, night fishing tours, Fijian 'lovo' feasts and nightly entertainment are all part of the fun.
