Things to see and do Matevulu

Although accessible by car, it is by kayak that the Matevulu Blue Hole is best appreciated. From Turtle Bay or Oyster Island, it takes about 40 minutes to go up the river to the terminus, the blue hole. The landscape is magical and the water becomes clearer every meter. On arrival a small area is provided for kayaks and picnics. A ladder and rope allow brave and sporty people to jump up to five metres. Bring shoes as the bottom of the water is uneven. It is better to find out about the arrival days of Australian cruise ships to have the place to yourself.

Accessible by kayak from Turtle Bay or Oyster Island, Riri Blue Hole surprises by the color and purity of its water. It takes about 30 minutes to go up the river that winds under the trees until you reach this magical place. From the main road, the owners of the blue hole offer to take you there by traditional pirogue (20 minutes), on the way back, they will make you discover a last wild blue hole. Toilets and changing rooms are available.

Unlike Riri or Matévulu, this blue hole is not turquoise, but of a deep and mysterious blue that is just as fascinating. Also known as Jackie Blue Hole, after its owner, the place is very (too?) well arranged and even has a bamboo cabin to change. Built around the blue hole, there is also a large bungalow, a bar, a promenade and a picnic area for hikers. With a depth of more than 20 metres, the (grown-up) children can enjoy jumping while the adults enjoy a coffee and this beautiful place. A natural curiosity that is worth a visit, perfect during hot weather. To avoid a cruise day, the place loses all its charm.
