About Kadavu
Fiji’s fourth-largest island lies some 50 miles (80 km) south of Viti Levu. It’s a typical Fijian island with small villages, lush forest-covered hills, emerald-green lagoons and wonderfully secluded beaches.
Just 100 kilometres from the mainland of Viti Levu, Kadavu is surrounded by one of the largest barrier reefs in the world, ensconcing more than half of Kadavu, Ono and several little islands and motus. Divers are particularly fascinated by the 31 mile-long (50 km) Astrolabe Reef and surfers rave about Kadavu’s waves. Astrolabe Reef on Kadavu is well known for its excellent hard and soft corals, while its hotels and resorts promote sustainable tourism to protect the delicate ecology.
Things to Do in Kadavu
The Great Astrolabe Reef’s reputation as one of the world’s unspoilt scuba-diving destinations is growing in leaps and bounds; it’s soft and hard coral formations in riotous colours are home to many large fish species like marlin, sharks, giant trevally, mahi-mahi, tuna and snapper. Divers and swimmers in the perennially-warm waters should not be surprised seeing giant manta rays and dolphins accompanying them on a daily basis!
The villages in Kadavu are also a great way to know about the various cultural etiquettes and traditions in this part of the South Pacific. A kava ceremony with the village chief and elders will see travellers graciously accepted in their celebrations and lovo feasts, an event not to be missed.
