Sail Through Romance

The Lau islands are one of Fiji’s most sought after cruising regions, not only for its exquisite islands but also for region’s rich cultural experiences. You can charter a yacht from Taveuni or plot a discovery course through the islands on your own craft. 

If you’re entering Fiji from the east, make sure you stop by Savusavu before sailing through Lau. As the most easterly Port of Call, it’s an excellent place to fulfil your Fiji Customs duties and stock up on supplies. Don’t forget to call in at the local market to purchase Kava (a root of the Piper methysticum plant) while you’re there. You’ll need to present an ‘i-Sevusevu’ (traditional protocol presenting a gift to request permission to visit) to any remote villages whose territory you cross.

If you haven’t picked up a copy, the annual Fiji Shores and Marinas guide is packed with excellent tips and useful titbits for sailing the Fiji group.
