Ecotourism....

Kadavu, the 4th largest island in Fiji, is famous for its extremely well-conserved nature and breathtaking environment. This island holds many attractions, which include trekking, fishing, snorkelling and scuba diving. Most importantly, you cannot miss seeing the Great Astrolabe Reef that surrounds it.

During their trip, many tourists like to pay a visit to the main village of Kadavu called Vunisea which even has its own airport. This will allow them to have a taste of local culture and food.

And of course, you can't go to a tropical paradise without going for a stroll on the beach or a swim in the sea. The waters are warm all year round so it would be a comfortable temperature to swim in. With its diverse animal and plants species diving in Kadavu Island is a spectacular experience.
