Vanua Levu accommodation from AU$74

Get up close with the local dolphins on a trip to Natewa Bay. Spinner and bottle-nose dolphins are a common site, which are eagerly awaiting the tourists and the treats they bring. Don't forget your mask and fins, because there are some great snorkelling spots here as well. Adventure cruises offer a huge range of activities. Typically sailing between Vanua Levu, Taveuni and the more remote islands, you'll get to snorkel, bike, trek, kayak, swim, dive, and fish to your heart's content - or just sunbathe on the deck. If you're lucky you may catch a glimpse of a whale swimming alongside the boat.

Stop by the black pearl farm and buy some of the region's best jewellery, or see the oysters growing with a snorkel along the farm lines. Visiting a local village is a great way to experience the native culture, or take it easy on a relaxing sunset cruise. Wind away any stress by soaking in the hot springs at Savusavu, or hike into the rainforest seeking a peek at the island's rarest birds. In town the classic local market is busy on the weekends, and the best place to find souvenirs to bring back home.

Fiji is home to some of the best fishing in the world, so try your luck with a deep sea trip out past the reef. Marlin are a common sport fish and will really challenge your angling ability. Combined with the friendly local people, delicious food and a brilliant island lifestyle, you're never going to want to leave!
