Fiji’s fourth largest island, Kadavu is less developed than the larger three with few roads and only one town. 

Travelers come here not for the popularity of the place but for one very special attraction: the Great Astrolabe Reef. 

As the fourth largest barrier reef in the world at 60 miles long, it holds an entire universe of fascinating marine life that will simply astound your senses. 

Think reef sharks, manta rays, barracudas and turtles at sites like Alacrity Rocks, Solo and Naiqoro Passage. Above the surface, Kadavu is a fantastic place to visit as it receives fewer tourists than many other islands. 

The pace is slower, the people are hospitable and – for the foodies out there – the seafood is plentiful. 

Hike through the rainforest to reach a waterfall, enjoy spotting bird life by the beach or go sea kayaking out on the waves. 

At the end of the day, retire to your resort and enjoy a Fijian feast of dreams.
