Taveuni Island

'Garden Island of Fiji'

Taveuni is Fiji’s third-largest island, measuring only 42km in length and 10km wide, situated 9km southeast of the coast of Vanua Levu. The island is more commonly known as the "Garden Island of Fiji" for its dense and verdant rainforest and exotic flora and fauna. The island’s main sources of income are agriculture (mostly dalo (taro) and, to a lesser extent, copra and kava crops) and Tourism.  Ecotourism and diving are the main draws for tourists in Taveuni. The island’s natural beauty, both above and below the pristine waters, is popular with divers, bushwalkers, and nature lovers. Taveuni’s rugged geography has hindered more technological farming practices, leaving old-growth forests and wildlife ecosystems relatively intact.
