the few remaining undeveloped islands in Fiji today.
Completely unspoiled, Kadavu is one of the best places to experience
Fiji’s incredible culture and natural beauty.
Surrounded by the world famous Great Astrolabe Reef, the islands are
renowned for diving and snorkelling. This magnificent reef is one of the
largest in the world and home to an abundance of marine life unequalled
in Fiji. You can swim with manta rays, dive wrecks and swim through
amazing vibrant coral gardens.
Fishing, surfing and kayaking are also popular, while inland you’ll find
lush, green rainforests bursting with stunning birdlife, glorious waterfalls
and good hiking routes. Bird watching is also a popular pastime, and the
colourful Kadavu Parrot, which is now a protected species, can be
easily observed.

Kadavu is a great option where limited accommodation consists of a few
small resorts and a guesthouse.
Kadavu is easily accessible with flights from Nadi and Nausori (Suva)
Airport. For those who want to experience inter island travel as the locals
