The Yasawas are a chain of volcanic islands running north-west from Viti Levu, with sand beaches, limestone caves and villages where tourism is the main income. A daily catamaran runs the length of the chain, which makes island-hopping between budget lodges and small resorts straightforward. There are no roads or towns on most of the islands.
