What to expect on this tropical island trip!
Fiji adventures, ocean magic, and a tribe of amazing women
Life-changing wildlife adventures with expert guides, plenty of time to relax, and a wonderful tribe of women to share laughs, stories, and connection. The best part is you don’t need to organise a thing as it’s all done for you!
Dive into the ultimate tropical Fijian getaway, designed to bring you the perfect mix of epic wildlife encounters that will rock your world, balanced with rest and relaxation. Swim alongside majestic manta rays, meet reef sharks up close, dive over vibrant coral reefs, and enjoy thrilling bull shark dives — all guided by experienced scientists and dive experts. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced diver, every moment is crafted to immerse you in one of the world’s most breathtaking underwater ecosystems.
Your home away from home (and it will seriously feel like this) is beautiful Fijian Bures, warmly welcoming you with local culture, delicious cuisine, and refreshing drinks.
Aside from all the water adventures, we’ve carved out plenty of downtime for hammocks, massages, books, or just soaking up salty island time. Plus mind-body practices to help you relax and fully enjoy the magic of the islands.
This trip isn’t just about wildlife and diving — it’s about connection, relaxation, and discovering the wonders of the ocean with a tribe of like-minded women. We can’t wait for you to join us on this Fijian adventure!
P.S. These coral reefs in the Yasawas are among the healthiest I have seen in all my travels around the oceans and I am so excited to show you what a healthy ocean can look like where people and ocean truly live in harmony together. The bull sharks dive here is next level awe and the mantas oh my gosh!!

OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME:
Fiji has a way of helping you slow down. Warm water, healthy coral reefs, and a strong connection between the people and the ocean make it easy to settle in and feel at ease. In the Yasawa Islands, you’re often welcomed with music and singing, a simple but meaningful moment that sets the tone for the days ahead. Time here is spent swimming with manta rays, exploring colourful reefs, sharing meals and conversations with local Fijians and our awesome tribe of women, and winding down in the evenings under the stars. It’s a place that feels relaxed and genuine — one that many people leave feeling more connected, rested, and at home in the ocean.

Meet Shannon, your Salty Guide
Hello! I am the proud founder of The Salty Tribe, where I am passionate about helping women foster a deep connection, boost their confidence, and nurture their care for the underwater world.
With over a decade of experience as a snorkel and dive instructor, educator, conservationist, and more recently as a certified results coach, people I have guided say I have a knack for creating a safe and comfortable environment for them to explore the ocean. But let's not forget, the marine life are the true guides!
Sharks have truly transformed my life. From swimming with Great Whites, Bull Sharks, Reef Sharks, Hammerheads, to Whale Sharks around the globe, they have revealed to me the beauty that lies beneath the veil of fear that often surrounds them. One significant moment occurred when I faced anxiety and a panic attack 30 meters below the ocean's surface.
Confronting my own challenges and doubts, I began to embrace and confront my fear which taught me practical ways to manage anxiety and fear. The sharks became catalysts for rediscovering my strength and self-love, which I thought I had lost during that anxious period.
I am thrilled to guide you on a journey where sharks have the power to rock your world too! I firmly believe they are some of the most incredible teachers when it comes to fear and serve as indicators of our planet's well-being.
These coral reefs in the Yasawas are among the healthiest I have seen in all my travels around the oceans and I am so excited to show you what a healthy ocean can look like where people and ocean truly live in harmony together. The bull sharks dive here is next level awe and the mantas oh my gosh!!
