8-Day Remote Northern Colonial Discovery Cruise
Cruise beyond the Yasawa Islands to the world heritage listed Levuka on the island of Ovalau on this 7-night small ship cruise from Denarau. This quiet historic town with its stately backdrop of 19th Century colonial architecture and waterfront promenades is a time capsule of colonial rule. Swim in the Bouma Waterfall lagoon on the garden island of Taveuni and stand on the 180th Meridian – the arbitrary dateline between today and tomorrow. Our journey takes you to Savusavu’s extinct volcanic crater, hot springs and thriving markets. Explore picture perfect coral cays for snorkeling, glass bottom boat and scuba diving opportunities and discover the remote Northern islands of Fiji.
