"Thank you for a most memorable day of boating and snorkeling at Kioa Island.
Kyle and I together picniking on that beautiful private beach was a
honeymoon fantasy come true!"

Julie and Kyle Beacock, SanDiego, California

We have selected three boating excursions that we feel are the best trips to give you a wide range of exposure to a variety of settings and cultural experiences during your visit to Taveuni. They are all absolutely amazing trips and quite different from one another – we encourage you to take advantage of seeing Taveuni’s surrounding outer island beauty by boat!

Yanuca : A one to one and a half hour journey North of Taveuni by boat to a small group of outer islands known as Yanuca Islands (pronounced "ya-new-tha"). You will first arrive by boat to the main village where you will present the village chief with a "sevu-sevu" (a Fijian customary gift of yaqona/kava). This is a polite way of introducing yourself and asking permission to see their village and utilize the surrounding beaches for the day. A short traditional ceremony of kava drinking will take place and then you will be welcomed into the village. You can tour through the local school, church, meeting hall, see traditional village housing, all while being surrounded by local people performing their daily work or chores. It is a wonderful way to absorb yourselves in true village life and customary Fijian living. Then you will be taken to a nearby remote island where you can enjoy privacy and a picnic lunch. Hike and explore the islands surrounding panoramic views, then submerse yourselves in the crystal clear lagoon for swimming and fantastic snorkeling. After a relaxing and/or eventful couple of hours you will be swept back to Taveuni as the sun begins to set ... it is not at all an unlikely event to see schools of dolphins, a pod of whale and other types of sea life. This trip includes up to 5 hours usage of the boat with a guide, picnic lunch, snorkeling gear, beach towels, beach chairs and rafts for floating, sevu-sevu (gift for the village chief), and the required sulu's (Fijian wrap around skirts) for acceptable dress while in the village.

Kioa : A one-hour journey West of Taveuni to an outer island called Kioa. It is a unique Fijian village whose customs & dialect are very different. They are known especially for their handmade and hand-woven arts and crafts. You will first explore throughout the village while viewing all the crafts they will have on display for purchase. Next, you will jump back on board the boat and explore the perimeter of the island until you come upon a beautiful secluded cove for sunbathing, snorkeling, picnicking and exploration. This trip includes up to 4 hours usage of the boat with a guide, picnic lunch, snorkeling gear, beach gear, and the required sulu's (Fijian wrap around skirts) for acceptable village attire.

Qamea: A short journey out to a neighboring island East of Taveuni. It is a great spot to hang out on the beach, picnic and snorkel some of the surrounding beautiful reefs. This package includes a boat guide, beach gear, snorkel equipment and a picnic lunch.


For guests wishing to explore the island, we recommend and will help you arrange a variety of tours and activities.
