The End Of The Road... Almost!
It felt like just as we had settled into the easy life of Tavuni, we were packing our bags and heading back to the airport ready to travel to our next destination. Check-in at Tavuni airport was…well different; we arrived back at the bus shelter ...
Stop 7
... already. Nearly better than the shark dive. That brings my dive total to 10 and I don't know how I'm going to top that five days in Fiji. I know I'm definitely going to follow up with my advanced diver, and I can't wait!!! I'm officially ...

Rainbow Reef, water slide, vilage visit
At 7am we boarded a 20 passenger Turboprop with only 12 people on board (including crew). The flight to Taveuni took about 75 min. The view out of the plane was incredible at times with many reefs and water colored in all shades of blue. We were welcomed ...
Quiet Day on a Wet Island

Biking my ass off! litirally!

Viimane päev Fijil - unustamatu paadimatk
Olime juba mõned päevad mõtisklenud, et lahe oleks teha üks paadimatk koralliriffide juurde, kus nägi tõeliselt võimsaid murdlaineid ning kõige kõvemaid surfareid. Saatuse tahtel tuli see võimalus meile ka kätte. Paadiomanikuks ja kapteniks ...
