The most beautiful natural sites to discover Vanua Levu And Taveuni

It is the largest bay in the South Pacific, and is used to meet bottlenose dolphins. But be careful, not only: there are a lot of unique treasures and this small expedition may well be the highlight of your stay. The diversity of fauna and flora is remarkable in this remote and still wild region, we are completely enchanted by a world that does not yet belong to us and for which we are simply amazed by so much grandeur and majesty. A real snorkeling paradise, you let yourself be carried away by gentle currents that reveal sumptuous colours, to say the least. It is in this bay that the locals find refuge in times of cyclones. It is also said that this bay is "the bedroom" of the dolphins, who enjoy its calm for the night. These are indeed wild dolphins, with whom you should not expect to go swimming. But just seeing them play next to the boat or race with the zodiac is an unforgettable experience. The bay could very quickly become a marine reserve as local people, marine biologists and professionals operating in the area wish to preserve this real little paradise. On the way back, ask to stop at the Leya reef, which is also worth a visit. We recommend that you organise a day trip by booking with your hotel or a small excursion agency.

Do not hesitate to take a detour to enjoy this beautiful beach, coconut trees and little houses for barbecue.

This is a pleasant excursion from Savusavu. On the way you can stop off at the viewpoint and the Urata café before reaching the village of Vuadomo. It's easier to visit the waterfalls via a tour operator, as the paths are not always well signposted. Your guide will also take care of the waterfall entrance fees and the sevusevu for the village chief. Not far away, you'll also find hot springs in which you can bathe, but the place isn't very well signposted either.

Rainbow Reef is one of Fiji's most famous dive sites. Located in the Somosomo Strait, between Taveuni and Vanua Levu, divers can choose either of these 2 islands to discover the Rainbow Reef. Divers of all levels, as well as those who prefer snorkeling , will be delighted with their outings. The coral is magnificent and the marine life rich, and you're sure to spot manta rays, sharks and barracudas. We recommend the following dive sites:

The Zoo: one of Rainbow Re ef's most famous dive sites, and as the name suggests, you'll come across a host of marine animals: manta rays, sharks, barracudas, moray eels and more. It's also a soft coral paradise.

Purple Wall: a surprising dive along a wall up to 60 meters deep, covered in soft corals of purple and pinkish hues. Here, you'll find hard corals and just as many fish.

The Great White Wall: another popular Rainbow Reef site, with a multitude of hard and soft corals. Access to the Great White Wall is via a tunnel with a first exit at a depth of around ten meters and a second exit at around 25 meters.

Yellow Tunnel: here, the corals are yellow and soft, and the depth of the tunnel ranges from 9 to 24 meters. White-tip sharks are a regular sight.

Fish Factory: a magnificent display of marine life featuring turtles, moray eels, sharks and manta rays.
