The island of gardens, the island of wealth, I didn’t expect that there are so many names for Taveuni in Fijian.
Because of the fertile soil of the volcanic island, Taveuni Island is exceptionally rich, while Fiji’s national flower, the Fuso flower, grows only in the highlands of Taveuni Island and blooms for a short time. The island’s rugged coastline, a crater-shaped lake and two peaks have contributed to Taveuni’s rich rainforest, flora and fauna.
The blue sea is fascinating, and the colorful island of Taveuni is even more fascinating. One of Fiji’s most famous dive sites, one of the top dive sites recommended by PADI instructors, Taveuni is a well-maintained natural environment that is well preserved despite its early development, as well as forest adventures and coral sand coast trekking.
