Days 4-9 - Savasi
Private Island
Relax and enjoy Savasi and all
it has to offer
Salt Lake River
Kayak
Float down the peaceful Qaloqalo River, past dense mangrove
forests, to the remote Salt Lake. Here you’ll experience the
pure tranquility and silence of Savusavu’s untouched
hinterland. Fed by the ocean tides, this pristine lake covers 100
acres, creating an inland sea perfect for kayaking. Ancient Fijians
used the river as a short cut to the beautiful Natewa Bay.
Vuodomo
Waterfall
Vuadomo waterfall is about 30 kilometers from Savusavu on the west
side of Vanua Levu. Experience the life of local villagers, before
taking a light walk to the main attraction. An excellent trip for
photographs and seeing Fiji’s beautiful natural
rainforest.
Herbal Walking
Tour
Fiji has an abundance of beautiful plants and herbs. During this
informative and hands-on tour you’ll discover some of the
natural medicinal qualities they possess, and the practical ways in
which they’ve been used by the Fijian people for hundreds of
years. This tour takes place right at Savasi Island.
Volcanic
outcrops
One of the first things you’ll notice at Savasi are the
stunning volcanic outcrops on which the villas are built. The
majority of Fiji’s islands were in fact formed through
volcanic activity starting around 150 million years ago, and
geothermal activity still occurs on the islands of Vanua Levu and
Taveuni. Today you can still witness this unique topography.
Mud Crabbing
Mud crabs hide in estuaries and mangroves during the day and come
out after dark. At the right time of year, you’ll be able to
learn traditional hunting methods before enjoying a taste of your
freshly caught seafood.
Hiking
Take a gentle walk or a more serious hike through the thick Fijian
jungle and energise your senses. There are a range of rainforest
experiences awaiting you all within an hour of Savasi Island.
Diving
Experience the magic of the reef with Korosun Dive, located right
at Savasi Island’s marina. Known for some of the best diving
in the world, you’re sure to be inspired by Fiji’s
underwater paradise. Grey sharks, Hawksbills turtles, Spotted Eagle
rays, Barracuda, Hammerhead sharks and dramatic cavern
swim-throughs are just some of things you can expect.
Stand Up Paddle
Boarding
Stand up paddle surfing is a fun water activity suitable for
everyone – and there’s no need to schedule around high
or low tides. Just grab a board and go.
Fishing
Test your skill aboard Savasi’s 28ft fishing boat. Sailfish,
mahi mahi, Spanish mackeral or walu are just a few of the local
species. We also arrange game or sport fishing tours for the more
adventurous!
Blowholes
When the tide is coming in, these spectacular blowholes spout
streams of water high into the air. You can enjoy the majestic
sight right from our restaurant – or get up close and
personal, by kayaking across the canal to the coral flat. This
natural phenomena is formed when shafts in the coral grow landwards
and upwards, exposing themselves at the surface and creating a
shaft in which incoming water becomes pressurised.
Dolphin
Encounter
An experience not easily forgotten. Spend the morning spotting
dolphins at Natewa Bay, the South Pacific’s largest bay and
home to two pods of spinner dolphins. Please note this activity is
subject to minimum booking numbers and must be arranged in
advance.
Cooking
classes
Let our experienced chefs guide you through the preparation of a
dish like banilolo (steamed coconut bread) or kokoda (fresh walu in
coconut cream), a refreshing Fijian specialty. You’ll learn
about some staple local ingredients and how to weave them into
tantalising Fijian cuisine.
Local church
If you wish to experience a Fijian church service at a nearby
village, you will be very welcome on any given Sunday. Enjoy the
soulful harmonies of the choir and hear a pastors address his
congregation.
Coconut
Demonstration
Learn about the amazing coconut tree and its many uses in Fiji
which give it the name ‘Tree of Life’. You’ll
learn the history of weaving palm fronds and can try making your
own Fijian crafts.
Pearl Farm
Tour
Black J. Hunter pearls are one of the prides of Fiji, and sought
after internationally for their unique, non-traditional colours.
Located just 10 minutes away in Savusavu Bay, this makes an
excellent excursion and snorkelling trip.
Meke
Music is woven into the fabric of Fiji and the ‘Meke’
embraces traditional song and dance to tell of legends, love
stories, and spirits of the islands. Dances can vary from a
hair-raising warriors spear dance, to a gentle and graceful fan
dance.
Lovo
A traditional lovo feast at Savasi is a wonderful way to experience
the real Fiji. An array of meats and vegetables are placed in an
earth oven, lined with palms and hot coals, and left to cook over a
number of hours. The resulting flavours are deliciously earthy and
smokey.
Village visit
Guests can experience life in a local village first hand. Learn
about the culture and traditions, attend a church service, or
practice a little Fijian with the people widely considered the
friendliest in the world!
Balolo
(seasonal)
During this annual event, many types of coral will simultaneously
release their spawn in the form of ‘balolo’ worms.
Occurring during November, the spectacle is unique to Fiji and
Samoa. The annual arrival of ‘balolo’ is signalled by
the excited shouting of villagers everywhere, who will rush to
collect the moss green or reddish-brown worms. They are considered
a Pacific delicacy, not unlike caviar.
Local Market
Savusavu market boasts a myriad of fresh fruit and vegetables, as
well as unique local foods like cassia bark (cinnamon), bush
dhaniya (coriander), wild honey, avocado, cabacaba lobster, fresh
mullet and sici shells. It is best visited on a Saturday.
