With great expanses of undeveloped land stretching from mountain
ridge to ocean reef, Taveuni offers one of the world's few completely
undisturbed tropical island habitats.
This Garden Island of Fiji is utopia for
nature-loving travelers. Many visitors
come to Taveuni to trek in the massive Bouma National Heritage Park, watch exotic birds, and
swim in remote waterfalls.
Pristine beaches and world-class coral reefs also await the
island's visitors. Diving the Rainbow Reef, touring local villages, exploring
hidden beaches, or game fishing the waters of the Somosomo Strait
are but a few of the many hidden treasures of this tropical paradise.
Taveuni's streams are
unpolluted and the rainforest is extensive and pristine with no harmful animals
or insects. Many visitors take advantage
of the quiet and slow pace of this remarkable tropical island to view and photograph
its unusual birds and plants.
Other highlights include visiting villages to see
crafts people at work and browsing in small shops for locally-made products and
imports from other parts of Oceania.
