Taveuni Island Honeymoon, Fiji

Consider pristine Taveuni Island as a honeymoon destination – it is the perfect location for couples wanting quiet time together away from the more crowded resort islands.

Often referred to as the ‘Garden Island’ of Fiji, Taveuni is famous for its lush rainforest and idyllic sugar-white beaches that front a choice of beach resorts.

Renowned for its eco-tourism, the islands of Taveuni, Vanua Levu and several smaller islands including Matangi and Qamea are perfect for unhurried scenic walks among local bird life.

Spot exotic birds including orange doves and red-breasted musk parrots flittering through pristine tropical rainforests on a hike to Tavoro Falls through the dramatic jungle-clad mountain ranges of Bouma National Heritage Park. Or head to the rocky shoreline and enjoy the scenic 5km-long Lavena Coastal Walk.

Paddle a traditional bilibili bamboo raft, take a guided snorkel tour of Waitabu Marine Park, scuba dive the world-renowned Rainbow Reef, watch the famous Matamaiqi blowholes or explore secluded coves and beaches by kayak.

Close to Taveuni lie the idyllic privately owned offshore islands of Matangi Island and Qamea Island – both easily accessed from Taveuni by fast launch.

Location – Situated just 6.5km off the southeast coast of Vanua Levu, Taveuni is Fiji’s third largest island at just 40km long and less than 10km wide.

Travel time – Taveuni Island is a 60-minutes flight from Suva or 90 minutes from Nadi, on Fiji’s main island of Viti Levu. Both Matangi Island and Qamea Island are serviced by pre-arranged fast launch from their respective resorts.
