  • Join us on our 3 day adventure through the incredible Fiji Island of Taveuni and see all of the must do activities when visiting. This tiny island known as the "Garden Island" in the South Pacific is home to breathtaking snorkeling and scuba diving in the Rainbow Reef, the incredible Tavoro waterfalls in Bouma Park, the exhilarating Waitavala natural waterslide, and famous warm Fijian hospitality. Taveuni, in our opinion, is a true bucket list location and somewhere we would recommend to anyone who is looking for a non-traditional tropical vacation.

    An island friend sent me this video. My late husband and I made Taveuni our home from 1990-2006. We built Vale Sekoula. Thanks for the wonderful memories. Taveuni is “wanna navu”.

      Oh I am so glad you found this video!! Vale Sekoula was such a beautiful paradise and we LOVED the wonderful binder with all the tips and tricks, which I think was from you and your husband 🙂 we wish we would’ve bought it ourselves - but maybe one day 😉 so so fun to have this connection! Thank you so much for commenting!! 💚💚

      What we found is there are a wide variety of options!! You can find super luxury resorts and fancy tours, or you can go more budget friendly with airbnbs like this (esp when split with friends) that also come with many activities (pool, beach, kayaks, snorkeling)!!

      Fiji Airways has been running occasional promotional flights. One is currently running, November 2022. We are doing a cruise in the Yasawa Islands later this month. Our last night we have booked a beach side bungalow less than $100 for the night. Google maps helps you to shop places easily!

Can you just tell me the place you mention as "third island" where you snorkel and kayak.

    • @JaychelAdventure
      @JaychelAdventure  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can see the three little islands off the coast of Taveuni from the airport actually (north east side of the island)! We used the beach off of our Airbnb to kayak there, but there are nearby beaches you could do the same from! Would highly recommend also checking out the snorkeling tours to the rainbow reef!! Fiji snorkeling was some of the best I’ve ever seen!! You’ll LOVE it!!

      Hello!! In Taveuni we coordinated with the place we stayed to get a van to drive us for the day 😊 the only tour we booked in advance was the dive with www.taveunioceansports.com/ by emailing them. PADI website also shares other dive companies, and there are quite a few scuba diving resorts on the small island. Otherwise we just showed up and paid for Bouma waterfall! Remember cash!!

Even though the video footage is outstanding, it pales in comparison to seeing it all in person. And along with the astonishing beauty, the people there treat you like family.

    If I am ever to visit Fiji, Taveuni sounds like the island for me. Do you have any suggestions as to how to get there from the US mainland? What is the route that you have to take? Is it a flight to Tahiti first, and then you book at puddle-jumper from Tahiti? Also, in general, how much was the cost of those flights? Thanks in advance...

    • @JaychelAdventure
      @JaychelAdventure  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You can get flights direct to Nadi, Fiji from LAX (which we did) and San Francisco! A good deal for those flights is around $600/700 round trip from those airports! Then Taveuni is an additional flight from Nadi :)
