The Fijian Archipelago encompasses one of the most extensive coral reef systems in the world. , The waters host an extraordinary variety of marinelife, including over 1,200 varieties of fish and countless invertebrates.

The Fiji expedition is being offered on a custom basis to small groups or as an extension to our Tonga Whale Program.  Based on 110-acre Namena Island at a small eco-restort,  this program is best suited to the adventures snorkeler.   The Namenan Barrier Reef is one of Fiji’s most spectacular and diversified reef ecosystems and was designated a marine reserve for its important biodiversity. Fiji is often called the “Soft Coral Capital of the World” and the marine life surrounding Namena Island is representative of the region’s unique coral and fish life.

Namena Island, located about 20 miles offshore from Savusavu, rises dramatically to 400 feet from the depths of the Koro Sea. The dragon-shaped island is blessed with white sand beaches and a beautiful tropical forest, home to nesting birds including red-footed boobies and elegant long-tail tropic birds. We stay on the only resort on the island set on the cliff to take advantage of exceptional views and catch tropical breezes.

With a maximum capacity of only 12 guests on the island, we enjoy Fiji’s remote reefs in splendid isolation. Fiji is one of the world's great snorkeling destinations, offering a diversity of soft and hard corals and abundant tropical fish including clown fish, butterfly fish and wrasse Accommodations are double occupancy with private baths. Private snorkel boats are outfitted with sturdy swim ladders and a shade cover. This trip is for experienced snorkeler.
