ADVENTURE  

Shark diving in Beqa Lagoon is among the most adventurous experiences in Fiji. Divers can expect to see large bull and tiger sharks, as well as silvertips, reef sharks, and even lemon and tawny nurse sharks. Instead of cage diving, guests are led to a low coral wall during feeding time, behind which they get to see the sharks. Feeding is done by hand as well as laid out on the sea floor so guests can get an up-close view of the creatures.  

EAT  

Tukuni is about stories, food and stories around food. Set in Fiji’s rich tropical greenery, the restaurant underscores the importance of fresh ingredients treated in traditional ways. Apart from laying out a wide spread of local delicacies, such as smoked fish, citrus fish in coconut milk, chicken and lamb curries with red rice, it also offers a hands-on demonstration of traditional Fijian cooking using charcoal as well as of preparing fresh salads.  

EXPLORE  

Mamanuca Islands is a set of 20 picture-perfect, white sandy beach islands surrounded by incredible turquoise waters and fringed by coconut palms. Almost a third of them are completely underwater during high tide, but great to explore during low tide. They are an ideal getaway for a lazy holiday or for a variety of adrenaline pumping water sports such as snorkelling, diving and surfing, among others.
