Yanawai River Kayaking -
The river itself is very calm and can have a slight current based on the tides. As you paddle up the river you will enter a quiet, tranquil
region surrounded by the dense jungle and the rugged interior of Vanua Levu island. Your guide will point out some of
the world's largest mangrove trees, as well as tropical birds, ducks, and occasionally fruit bats. Further up the river you are
invited to stop and join villagers and their children who've come down to the shore to meet the visitors. Seeing the
remoteness of this village, and its distance from any easy roads, Tui Tai guests quickly realize they are the only visitors these villagers ever meet.
Guided Snorkeling at The Lighthouse -
Savusavu Bay is known for great snorkeling and this site lies just at the reef point facing the mouth of the bay. Expect good visibility, hard corals, colorful crinoids, lionfish, soldierfish and triggerfish.
Salia Village Visit -
A guided tour of the only village on the island of Kioa. The people of this village are originally from the island nation of
Tuvalu. They are a Polynesian people with a culture, language and heritage distinct from the rest of Fiji.
Bouma Heritage Park - Tavoro Falls -
There are three sets of Tavoro Waterfalls in the park. Each set of waterfalls offers a refreshing swimming pool to cool off and get a closer
look at the cascades. You'll enjoy amazing views of the sea and sweeping views
of the rainforest that earned Taveuni the nickname 'The Garden Island of Fiji'. You can see parrots, lorikeets and
other colourful birds.
Hike to Rara-Ni-Tiqa Island Summit -
Rara-Ni-Tiqa Island is a volcanic and lush atoll. Tui Tai guests are the only Westerners allowed to set foot on the
beautiful white-sand beach where it lands. The hike follows a path from a beautiful white sand beach through coconut
trees. The final climb to the top involves a natural ladder made of mature, sturdy tree roots. The stunning view from the summit is worth the effort.
In the old days, the island dome was used to send ritual messages to distant islands. Now it's a burial ground for a
famous warrior. From here, you can see that the island itself is wrapped around an enormous deep-sea
crater.
Kayaking the Ringgolds and Cobia Island Crater -
The kayaks will put in near the south end of Cobia Island at the wide, sandy beach. Paddling over crystal clear waters that
shimmer the colour of emeralds and sapphires, you'll follow the volcanic coastline of Cobia. Making your approach to the
open end of the crater, you may want to jump in for a view of the pristine coral beds below the surface. Inside the crater,
you will discover a surreal, calm lagoon of blue water so deep that it's never been measured.
