How do I get to Kadavu?
- Paddle Out in a Kayak or Outrigger Canoe. I had an amazing time kayaking over the crystal-clear waters around Kadavu. It’s like you’re floating on glass and can see all the marine life just beneath you.
- Go game fishing. Several fish world records are caught in Kadavu’s waters – the International Game Fishing Association has caught some. Sailfish can be found on most reef edges from June to September.
- Exploring the great Astrolabe Reef. The Great Astrolabe Reef is the most prominent attraction on Kadavu Island. This reef runs parallel to Kadavu’s southern shore and arcs north-east past Ono Island until it reaches Buliya Island – the perfect snorkeling spot for manta rays.
- Bird Watching. Kadavu’s diverse birdlife is among its many attractions, from a brightly colored endemic parrot to flocks of rowdy seabirds. Unleash your inner Attenborough on a birding quest through the island’s dense rainforests, mangrove warrens, and muddy coastal flats to observe some of these beautiful birds up close.
- Dive or snorkel on the Great Astrolabe Reef. At over 65 kilometres (40 miles) long, the Great Astrolabe Reef is one of the biggest barrier reefs in the world, and a breeding ground for tuna, marlin, giant trevally and sharks.
- Go birdwatching. Kadavu has been dubbed ‘bird island’ for its breathtaking array of winged wonders, including four endemic birds: the rainbow-coloured shining musk parrot, drab Kadavu honeyeater, petite Kadavu fantail and distinctively voiced Kadavu whistling dove.
- Attend Sunday church. Kadavu’s culture is particularly conservative, and churches play an important role. Services will be in Fijian, but are worth attending for the congregations’ beautiful singing in multi-part harmony – and to admire everyone’s pure-white Sunday best (particularly impressive in a place without washing machines!).
- Take part in a yaqona ceremony. Yaqona (pronounced ‘yangona’, and known in other parts of the Pacific as ‘kava’) is a traditional ceremonial drink that is often used to settle arguments and make peace.
