  • Vuda and Waya Qoliqoli
    Community initiative to create employment stability: Vuda and Waya Qoliqoli The communities of Vuda and Waya are the traditional resource owners of a large section of the Mamanuca and lower Yasawa islands, north of Lautoka town, predominant tourism development areas of Fiji. In the 1990s, community leaders, working in partnership with early local tourism pioneers such as Mr Dan Costello (Beachcomber Island), decided that in order to support sustainable development and employment in the area, they would declare no-fishing areas around resorts. Initially, in 1996, three islands were declared no-fishing areas by the traditional leader, the Tui Vuda, Ratu Sir Tavaiqia, who wrote an open letter saying "I confirm that the waters around the islands of Tai, Eluvuka and Kadavu Lailai in Nadi Bay are now either Fisheries Reserves or are to be designated Fisheries Reserves and therefore no fish, shell fish or octopus (sasala ni waitui) are to be taken from those waters in that area of sea being 400 m from the shoreline of those islands." These islands are now known as Beachcomber (Tai), Treasure (Eluvuka) and Bounty (Kadavu Lailai) Island Resorts. Aerial photograph of the protected reef within the Marine Protected Area at Treasure Island Resort. © Treasure Island Resort These first reserves were later joined by no-fishing areas fronting newer resorts at South Sea Island Resort (Vunivadra Island), Tivua Island Resort, and Vomo Island Resort. To the north, on Wayalailai and Kuata Islands, similar protected areas were formed at Wayalailai Ecohaven, Naqalia Lodge and Kuata Barefoot Island Resort (Fig. 1). Most of these reserves only cover shallow fringing reefs from beach to the deepwater drop off, but a new, larger area including an expanse of open sea and dolphin habitat was declared in February 2017.

    &HER ISLANDS Lau Group G Vanua Levu G Mamanuca Islands Ta ve uni G Viti Levu G Yasawa Islands WITH Transpacific Holidays &HER ISLANDS The Pacific Relaxing Experience The island nation of Fiji lies in the western Pacific Ocean, and covers an area of 18000 square kilometres. With such a large area you will never have a feeling of being crowded. It is a 3.45 hours flight from Sydney or an 11.30 hour flight from Los Angeles. The country is made up of over 300 individual islands, of which approximately forty have accommodation available for visitors to stay at. Fiji’s main island, where all the international flights arrive and depart, is called Viti Levu, it’s the location of the nations capital Suva, which is situated on the eastern side of the island and connected by a five hour coastal highway drive or a 30 minute shuttle flight from Nadi. Although an interesting town to visit we would not recommend it for those clients looking for a relaxing holiday in the sun. Fiji’s other main town, and the location for the main international airport, is Nadi, which is located on the West Coast of Viti Levu close to all the main vacationing areas. Fiji’s tropical climate varies very little throughout the year ranging between 74 and 80˚F with year round cooling sea breezes. The rainy season is in their summer, which is October through March, with the greater chance of heavier rainfalls from mid January to March, however you would be very unlucky to experience a period of extended rain even during the rainy season.
