Taveuni accommodation from AU$67

Grab your snorkel and explore the coral reef fringing the island, where you’ll be swimming with tropical marine life, large pelagic fish and watching soft coral wave in the current. Prefer diving? Rainbow Reef offers one of the most famous dives in the South Pacific - The Great White Wall. Popular because of the unusual white soft coral, you’ll see dolphins, turtles, eagle rays and sharks as you dive this wonderful site. The Solomon Straits are dotted with birds and baitfish and serious anglers will have a very fun day chasing Blue and Black Marlin, swordfish, tuna and many other massive fish.

Enjoy relaxing on the soft white sand of the beach, or take a walk through the forest to experience the real beauty of the flora and fauna up close. There are many coastal walks that wind through impossibly beautiful beach trails to enjoy, or you can try your hand at steering a traditional bilibili (a bamboo raft), across the serene waters of the island. For a bit more stability, kayaking is great, or enjoy a delicious dinner on a sunset cruise as the silence of the night descends.

Visit the island’s only salt-water black pearl farm, and snorkel through the frames to see the growing oysters. Indulge in a luxurious pampering at a relaxing spa, and don’t miss the island’s legendary seafood and cuisine - the local rum is amazing! The island is home to a huge population of birdlife, so hire a guide and do the Vidawa Rainforest Hike. It’s a challenging trek into the jungle, as you visit archaeological sites, spectacular view points and learn the traditional uses for many forest items.

The abundance of nature, great food and fantastic beaches make Taveuni a dream destination for every visitor to Fiji. Have you booked your Taveuni accommodation?
