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.

Main Street, Savusavu

Main Street, Savusavu

The town has only one main street and here you will find supermarkets, banks, Post Office, Medical Centre, Pharmacy, Meats, Wines and a small selection of restaurants.

Dining Out

Savusavu offers a small selection of restaurants for you to enjoy – each offering a great view and often, wonderful company to boot!

Shopping

Savusavu Town

Dotted around Savusavu towns Main Street, you will also find smaller, low-key operations where traditional Fijian massage (bobo) is given. A bobo is akin to a deep tissue massage with a Fijian twist.

Savusavu Farmers Market

Located in the middle of Savusavu town, next to the bus centre, you will find a wide variety of fresh produce from tropical fruits and vegetables to fish, crabs, lobsters, yaqona, curry spices and much more. Open Monday to Saturday – but Saturday is by far the best day to shop!

Pamper me!

After a long passage, with the salt in your face, and wind through your hair, you may be in need of a little tidy up and a pamper! There are many little stores along Main Street offering cheap and cheerful haircuts. As you walk through the town you will spot many sandwich board signs pointing you in the right direction.

TJ’s Hair and Beauty

The salon also offers full beauty treatments and massage and prices are great.

The Royal Salon

Ask to see ‘Jess’ for an amazing new style!

Waisali Rainforest Reserve

Savusavu T: 330 1807 Open Mon – Sat 9am – 3pm
Located just outside of Savusavu town, the Waisali Rainforest Reserve is a declared protected area and biodiversity conservation project owned by the Waisali community in partnership with the National Trust of Fiji.

The very high diversity and high incidence of endemic species makes Waisali one of the few managed parks in Fiji with a unique and important floral and faunal composition. The reserve is approximately 130 hectares and is one of the last unexploited rainforest in Vanua Levu. Birds found in the reserve include the rare Orange Dove, the Red Shining Parrot, the Collared Lory and the Orange Breasted Myzomela among others.

The reserve is home to the endangered Fiji Ground Frog (Platymantis vitenus) and the endemic Fiji Tree Frog (Platymantis vitiensis). The ground frog population in Waisali is the only known population of the species on mainland Fiji.

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!
