The Mamanucas are easier to understand as three bands. The inner islands are coral cays within half an hour to an hour of Port Denarau — small, flat and perfect for day trips. The Malolo group in the south is the busy heart of the chain, with the most resorts, the floating bars and the surf reefs. The outer islands to the west and north are higher, quieter and home to the honeymoon resorts and the “Cast Away” island.
Each page below covers what the island is like, what to do, how to get there and which day cruises visit. If you would rather start from the kind of trip you want, use the island chooser.
