Bligh Waters & the Astrolabe Reef
18 days London to London
-
- Days 1 & 2. Fly to Nadi Airport, Fiji
-
- Day 3. Nadi to Raki Raki
- The two hour drive to your accommodation at Wananavu is an adventure in itself, allowing you to stop and experience the real Fiji.
- Days 4 to 9. Dive Bligh Waters [B]
- Situated on a picturesque headland at Viti Levu's most Northern point, Raki Raki, Wananavu Beach Resort overlooks a magnificent lagoon. This small resort is off the beaten track and has good diving nearby. Schools of barracuda, Spanish Mackerel and trevally are frequently sighted roaming the coral heads with the resident sharks. With black coral trees, multicoloured soft and hard corals, sea whips and prolific tropical fish these dives are a photographer's paradise.
- Day 10. Nadi to Kadavu [B]
- Back to Nadi Airport for a short flight to Kadavu and a fast twenty minute powerboat ride across turquoise seas. With no connecting or through roads, and no cars on the bulk of the island, this is one of Fiji's last truly wild islands and allows a glimpse of everyday Fijian life.
- Days 11 to 16. Astrolobe & Solo Reefs [B]
- The excellence of Astrolabe and Solo Reefs have made Kadavu world famous, but diving excellence extends beyond these two superb sites. The island is encircled by equally exciting reefs, Namalata and Tavuki, as well as a Manta Ray cleaning station. Papageno is a remote resort on 140 hectares of unspoilt tropical forest. Surrounded by beautiful organic gardens, this is certainly the place to relax, experience true Fijian hospitality and discover the crystal blue Fijian waters. The resort offers overnight kayak trips, long hikes or snorkelling. Spacious accommodations blend island charm and modern comfort all just steps from the beach. Choose between one of the high gabled bures with a large verandah and breathtaking ocean views or alternatively choose one of four garden rooms in the 'Jungle Villa' with its shared terrace overlooking the gardens. Amenities include solar/ generator powered lights and ceiling fans, large private bathrooms, a mini refrigerator, coffee and tea making facilities. The main plantation house offers a bar and cosy sitting room, a sunny dining room and a small library. Meals are a feast of organic food and home grown herbs, fruit and vegetables.
- Day 17. A short flight back to Nadi [B]
