Fiji

Snorkel within some of the world’s most pristine and colorful coral reefs. Taveuni’s offshore Rainbow Reef lives up to its name with a profusion of technicolor corals. Kosrae’s unspoiled marine eco-system is a favorite haunt for grouper, barracudas, hump-headed parrotfish and docile white-tip reef sharks. And Niue’s mysterious coastal caves reveal hidden underwater worlds.

Trek inland on Taveuni to reach beautiful Lake Tagimoucia, rich with birdlife and unusual flora. The rare Tagimoucia flower, considered the most beautiful in Fiji, is found only on its shores. Tahiti Iti is covered with excellent walking trails leading to stunning panoramas and hidden beaches. On Pohnpei, climb Mt. Kupwuriso via a trail that passes through lush forest. The gentle winds on the summit are prized by the local people for their ability to cure pain and melancholy.

Enjoy the sun, sea and silence as you paddle along the remote Taveuni coastline, dotted with waterfalls, thick jungles and coral reefs. Or set out from your coastal eco-resort on Fijian Vanua Levu for fabulous kayaking just off the beach.
