    11 Night Lau & Kadavu Discovery Cruise Embark on your voyage of discovery to a part of Fiji never seen by tourists. For the first time ever, Reef Endeavour will em- bark on a Discovery voyage of the Lau Group and Kadavu. Tuesday: Set sail on your Lau Discovery cruise. After boarding there will be a full briefing from your guide before an afternoon of beach activities at Tivua Island. Later in the evening, enjoy a wonderful Welcome dinner as you cruise into a south pacific sunset. Wednesday: Start your day at Makogai Island with a traditional Fijian ceremony before joining the 1hour walking tour of Mako- gai leper colony and nursery, home to giant clams and turtles. In the afternoon return to the island visiting the local primary school where the children will entertain you with their song and dance. Thursday: Explore a beautiful beach on the rugged southern coastline of Taveuni at Lavena, take a hike to a spectacular water- fall and fresh water pool and enjoy a picnic lunch ashore and a chat to the locals. For the more adventurous there may be a guided kayak tour along the coast to waterfalls directly into the sea (weather permitting. The hike is approx. 1 hour for fit walkers. Quite challenging and we join the rest of the group by the river for lunch.) Friday: We reach the most northern island of Lau—Wailagilala. See the remains of a disused lighthouse, or explore the abun- dant fish life whilst snorkelling. Saturday: Qilaqila, at the northwest end of Vanuabalavu, is known for its pristine waters and mushroom shaped islands.

  • The Best of the South Pacific
    e_556266 Ch01.qxd 5/24/04 2:48 PM Page 5 1 The Best of the South Pacific The magical names of Tahiti, Rarotonga, Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga have conjured up romantic images of an earthly paradise since European explorers brought home tales of their tropical splendor and uninhibited people more than two cen- turies ago. And with good reason, for these are some of the most beautiful islands in the world—if not the most beautiful. Here you can relax at remote resorts perched on some of most gorgeous beaches the planet has to offer. Off- shore are some of the globe’s most fabulous diving and spectacular snorkeling. Picking the best of the South Pacific is no easy task. I cannot, for example, choose the most friendly island, for the people of Tahiti and French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa, American Samoa, and the Kingdom of Tonga are among the friendliest folks on earth. Their fabled history has provided fodder for famous books and films, their storied culture inspires hedonistic dreams, and their big smiles and genuine warmth are prime attractions everywhere in the South Pacific. Personally, I like all the islands and all the islanders, which further complicates my chore to no end. In this chapter, I point out the best of the best—not necessarily to pass qual- itative judgment, but to help you choose among many options. I list them here in the order in which they appear in the book. Your choice of destination will depend on why you are going to the islands.
