If you are anchored close to an island (other then Viti Levu) in the coming weeks, you could be woken to the sound of loud villagers wading or motoring out to the reef to harvest balolo. Balolo is an edible sea worm scientifically known as Eunice viridis. This is an early morning event that occurs once or twice a year at a certain phase of the moon. Some villagers will wait up all night and wear salusalus for the occasion. Balolo will rise to the surface in its millions at around 4-5am and vanish at sunrise. More info here…
2017 was a very strong year for visiting yachts and superyachts coming to Fiji. Record numbers were recorded of 554 Cruising Yachts and 65 Superyachts.
Vatia Beach is located on the north of Fiji’s main island of Viti Levu. The team at Vatia welcome cruisers with open arms, providing water, hot meals and cold beer for very reasonable prices!
A large portion of yachts cruising Fiji each year begin their cruises in Savusavu, and end them in Nadi Waters (the large bay off Nadi which includes both Denarau and Vuda Point Marinas). Broadly speaking, there are three routes between these two places.
