Head north to Fiji’s ‘Garden Isle’ for the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure in Taveuni’s colourful coral reefs and waterfall-laden forests.
Taveuni is called the ‘Garden Isle’ for good reason. With the Bouma National Heritage Park making up more than a third of the island, the Somosomo Strait on its northern shore and an extensive marine park at Waitabu –Taveuni is the place to go if you want to lose yourself in nature. Activities here are mostly nature-based. Cool off under a waterfall in the heart of the jungle or take a dip beneath the waves at world-famous dive sites like Eel Reef and the Great White Wall in the Somosomo Strait.
Hiking trails criss-cross the Bouma National Heritage Park where you can find over 100 species of birds like the colourful ‘Kula’ or elusive orange dove. Or hike further up Des Vouex peak’s to the crater lake in search of Fiji endemic scarlet flower – the Tagimoucia. Taveuni’s wild southern shore is a land of secluded beach inlets, rocky headlands and waterfalls that cascade into the sea. Walking the small trail that leads off the end of Lavena village is the only way to experience this stunning coast. If you’re looking to spice up your holiday with some adventure, Taveuni has you covered.
