Discover two of Fiji's top reefs on this great itinerary, ideal for divers who enjoy a mix of colourful reefs (Rainbow) and pelagic encounters (Great Astrolabe).

Your adventure begins in tropical Taveuni, which offers volcanic mountains, lush rainforests and waterfalls, and deserves every accolade it has received from even the most jaded divers. Spectacular soft corals abound the world famous dive sites such as ‘White Wall’ and ‘Rainbow Reef’.

The second week is spent exploring the reefs at Kadavu, a very traditional Fijian island, surrounded by superb dive sites, including the famous Astrolabe and Solo Reefs. Astrolabe is rated as one of the world’s premier diving locations, offering great diversity and a spectacle of coral structures and marine life. Whilst manta rays can be observed throughout the year, you will need to time your visit right for seasonal visitors such as short-finned pilot whales and humpback whales.
