Frequently Asked Questions
Ships anchor in the deep water of the bay off southern Vanua Levu, and tenders bring passengers to the Copra Shed Marina jetty. The centre is a four-minute walk away: it could hardly be handier.
A converted copra shed that tells the region's past on its own, from the days when dried coconut flesh sailed off to the oil mills. Today it holds cafés, an art gallery, a few shops and the quiet comings and goings of sailors crossing the South Pacific.
Yes, a few steps from the waterfront: white plumes rise from the ground. Locals set down baskets of cassava or taro that the volcanic heat cooks slowly while they get on with their day.
Yes, with no staging and no entrance fee. You linger, you watch, you exchange a few words with a family collecting their meal. Few calls offer such direct contact with local life, five minutes from the quay.
Papayas, kava root, the morning's fish and woven goods. The stallholders greet you readily and laughter carries from stall to stall. The main street leads there naturally from the waterfront.
Yes, J. Hunter Pearls opens its doors to visitors. You learn how Fijian pearls are grown, prized for their rare tones from bronze-green to deep blue. It rounds off a morning of wandering nicely.
The Namena marine reserve, reachable by excursion, protects teeming reefs of butterflyfish and soft corals. Closer in, several operators run snorkelling trips in the calm water along the coast.
The largest bay in the South Pacific, an hour's drive from Savusavu. Dolphins pass regularly off an almost deserted shoreline, and the road itself is worth the trip, through coconut plantations and flowering villages.
No. Everything is done on foot, on level ground: the main street runs along the sea for barely a few hundred metres. A hat and water are enough for the town walk.
The cooler season, May to October, gives the most pleasant air for walking. The currency is the Fijian dollar: bring some cash for the stalls, and a smiling bula opens doors all over the island.
