You could take a boat trip to a remote island all to yourself, or have a sunset cruise along the coast. Taveuni Dive are specialists in making your trip really memorable.

Taveuni Island is known as Fiji's Garden isle for the lush vegetation. It is truly stunning with more treks and culturally interesting excursions than any other island.

In addition to diving there is lots of adventure to be found on Taveuni Island. Natural waterslides, exciting hikes, kayaking trips to small, uninhabited islands, horseback riding and village trips - Taveuni has it all.

Taveuni is the true Fiji - uncommercialised, unspoilt, uncomplicated and unsurpassed. Here you will experience genuine Fijian hospitality. There are no 'tourist' shops to try and part you from your money.

	The spectacular Bouma Waterfalls are among the attractions on the island of Taveuni - take a day trip to these 3 amazing falls and swim in the cool, clear waters beneath. We would especially recommend this trip on a weekend when the local children will be playing in the waters and jumping off the ledge underneath the falls - it's fun too watch or even better join in!

Another recommended day trip is the Lavena coastal walk - take in the breathtaking beauty on this 4 hour hike (2 hours each way). There is a refreshing waterfall to swim in when you reach halfway. Taveuni is also a great island for bird watching. Inhabitants include the orange dove, wild parrots, kingfishers and many more. Soqulu Plantation (where Taveuni Dive is situated) is highly recommended for bird watchers.

A few minutes away from the dive center is the international date line - where you have have one foot in today and one in yesterday.

Or .. you can always just lie back on the beach and relax!
