Bula!

“Bula!”, the Fijian ‘hello’, is the best-known Fijian word. Whatever their own language, people who come from Fiji like to say bula to each other when they meet in other parts of the world.More info here…

Cruising Taveuni, Vanua Levu and the Ringgolds

Rigggold's Islands, Fiji

Taveuni is famous for its spectacular waterfalls, varied birdwatching, and world-class dive sites.

Here you need a dive guide, as the correct tide and current is essential to see the ‘Rainbow Reef’ and the white coral flowers open on the sheer ‘Great White Wall’.

Savusavu

Savusavu by Tor Johnson

16°46’43.00″ South   179°19’51.08″ East

Savusavu is an official port of entry into Fiji. This yacht focused town nestled along the coastline of Southern Vanua Levu, is home to not one, but two marinas.

The town is usually the first port of call for people sailing from Tonga and Samoa.

Savusavu by Tor Johnson

Savusavu by Tor Johnson

Because Savusavu town provides most things a cruising yacht needs, from fuel, water and groceries, to banking, general hardware and electrical, Savusavu’s harbor is bustling with yachts coming and going.

Many use Savusavu as a base for cruising the less explored Northern islands of Fiji and quite often set up camp in the protected Nakama Creek for the duration of our cyclone season.

The town is famous for its hot springs (just ask a local to point them out), and at low tide you can see the steam from numerous small outlets all along the foreshore. It is not uncommon to find pots of food being cooked over the bubbling waters, so if you happen run out of gas onboard, you know where you can boil your eggs!

As an interesting side note – this geothermal energy is resource that could generate enough electricity to power the entire island of Vanua Levu!

Both the Copra Shed Marina and Waitui Marina welcome overseas yachts and provide moorings, and a gathering place for the yachtsmen.

 

Once you have arrived in Savusavu, moored up and gotten yourself settled into the swing of things, be sure to take a look at the local Savusavu website maintained by the Savusavu Tourism Association.

Things to see and do in Savusavu

This beautiful town is protected by the bay which leads into Namaka Creek – a popular anchorage for yachts from around the world. A wander along Main Street will see you welcomed by many smiling faces and Fiji’s enthusiastic greeting of ‘Bula!’. Small enough to feel like a local, but large enough to keep to yourself if that’s how you roll.More info here…

Things to See and Do in Suva

Suva is our nations capital and one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Oceania.

Offering everything you’d expect to find in a large city – trendy shopping malls and farmers markets, restaurants, entertainment, and a huge range of cultural activities in a modern city built around older buildings which hint at our colonial past. More info here…

Firstly we wanted to compliment you on a fantastic guide for yachties to Fiji. It not only has extensive boat related information but your inclusion of thoughtful pieces on local customs and people are very insightful. Your focus on environmentally friendly practices is appreciated. Keep up the good work! It’s mutually beneficial to visitors to Fiji and the Fijians themselves in that it helps to protect their beautiful waters and coasts.  We will regularly refer to  your book and I am sure we will enjoy the services of many of your advertisers. We look forward to many more good years cruising these beautiful islands. Tony Whiting & Margaret Wilson - SY “Taranui III”,  New Zealand

I have visited 7 marinas in Northland, NZ and distributed over 150 copies of FIJI Shores & Marinas and received very good feedback from the yachties. The publication is world-class and is far superior to a lot of guides that I came across. You guys are doing a great job and leaving everyone for dead in terms of presentation and content. Cheers!
