Amazing sights under the waters of the Somosomo Strait all along the Rainbow Reef. The opportunity to dive such a wondrous place on a regular basis was one of the prime factors in my decision to buy a piece of paradise on Taveuni Island.

Taking the boat out with a bunch of good mates is a great way to spend the day, or a whole weekend. Along the way there’s plenty of fantastic scenery, snorkel spots, and maybe a secret beach or small island to get Castaway.

More fishing adventures with some of my regular fishing buddies and visitors tagging along for a day out. Fisherman or not, there’s always some cold beers in the cooler (it’s hard work sometimes) and the promise of an even colder one back ashore – hopefully with a fish or two to show for our efforts

You don’t need to be a fully fledged diver to enjoy Taveuni’s fantastic corals and the underwater wildlife, and you don’t have to go to far offshore either. Simply grab some basic snorkeling gear and away you go ! With minimum effort you’ll enter a peaceful aquatic wonderland full of colour.

Since we’re an island kayaking is very popular with tourists and locals alike, and you have the option of kayaking the coastline and open ocean, or inland through mangroves, streams and rivers. Head upstream and you’ll likely find a waterfall, or just a great spot to sit and relax.

There are some great fishing spots around Taveuni, Vanua Levu, and the smaller neighbouring islands. Fishing is a great day out, and we always go stocked with some adult refreshments just in case the fish aren’t biting.

Taveuni is a divers paradise. Between Taveuni and neighbouring Vanua Levu lies the Rainbow Reef, one of the worlds best reefs for exploring soft corals – that’s why it is known as The Soft Coral Capital of The World !
