Malolo Island is the largest island of the Mamanuca Archipelago. In addition, it is easily accessible from the capital Nadi, so it is a good starting point for exploring the surrounding islands. For most visitors, it is a place mainly intended for relaxation, but you can take several trips here. You can take a trip around the surrounding smaller islands, go kayaking or even venture into the hot interior of the island. Let's take a look at the trips worth taking from Malola.

One of the most popular trips in the Mamanuca group of islands is called „Island Hopping“.

Small tropical paradise

Tiny, only seventy-hectare, island attracts with a vision of relaxing and doing nothing for a few days. There's luckily built just one small resort, where there are two nice beaches. It is fortunately possible to swim here even at low tide, what is not always possible at all the beaches. There are other beaches in the south of the island, utterly deserted. A popular local activity is kayaking around the island. The big surprise is that the famous movie Castaway with Tom Hanks starring has only the same name with this island. The film is actually happening on the island Monuriki. continue reading

Beaches on the island Malolo

The largest island in the Mamanuca

| Altitude: 0 m / 0 ft

Malolo is the largest island in the group of islands Mamanuca and it is situated quite close to Nadi (hour boat ride), so it is relatively accessible to tourists. But even so there are fortunately no crowds of tourists here. The main reason is that there are only four small resorts located on the southwest side of the island. In addition, they are also quite far from each other and they do not have very big accommodation capacity, There are nice views of the surrounding islands from Malolo, especially on Wadigi island – both from the beach and from the high (considering local conditions) inland hills. The most popular activities on the island are swimming, relaxing in hammock and kayaking. There are several possible kayaking trips – between the resorts, to the abandoned wreck or to the shoal between Malolo and Wadigi. The more adventurous people can go to the opposite island Casteway. continue reading

Hike through hinterland of Malolo

Worming through secondary vegetation

Rating:
| Altitude: 140 m / 459 ft

Life on the coast of the Pacific islands is comfortable and takes place in a slow tempo, but an adventurer wants explore something at times – for example the inland and ascent a lookout hill with views over the surrounding islands. The highest hills on Malolo have almost 200 meters above sea level, so the view is really not bad. Unfortunately, the paths lead mostly through dense grassy bushy secondary vegetation, so the walk itself is not very pleasant. In addition, there is uncomfortable hot without shade all the day except for the early morning. If you have a little „luck“, you will go through an enormous web of many spiders. continue reading
