Beach Day & Snorkeling

OVERVIEW

Spend hours relaxing however you please on a gorgeous stretch of sand on Dravuni, a volcanically formed island that the Great Astrolabe Reef surrounds. Before settling in, the guide will show you around to ensure that you maximize the time on this slice of paradise. While you may do nothing more industrious than bask in the sun, there are plenty of other options. You might stroll along the coast, follow a trail into the island’s interior, take a refreshing swim in the sea and snorkel the crystal-clear waters, which are teeming with colorful marine life. Commonly spotted species include bluecheek butterflyfish, golden damselfish and yellowfin goatfish, which tend to travel in huge schools. You might even spot a hawksbill sea turtle or two gracefully swimming by. If you get hungry, just follow the irresistible aroma of Fijian seafood specialties cooking in the food stalls along the beach.
