Day One
We rendezvous at Kadavu Island's domestic airport to meet your flight from Nadi to Kadavu Island. From there a 1-2 hour scenic boat ride will ferry us along Kadavu's coastline to Waisalima Beach Resort. Time for a sea kayaking refresher course, and/or a swim /snorkel off the beach. (Lunch and evening meals included)

Day Two
We have a great day trip planned: sea kayaking along the coast and up into the mangroves at the head of Kavala Bay, then trekking into the rainforest for a refreshing swim under a towering waterfall, before returning to Waisalima Beach Resort for another night.
(All meals included)

Day Three
A big day of sea kayaking: across the channel to the island of Ono, and then around the coastline, through schools of flying fish, to the village of Naqara. We will be ceremonially welcomed by the chief and the villagers, and invited to share in the sacred drink, kava, and the feast cooked in the underground oven, the lovo.
(All meals included)

Day Four
After a fond farewell to the people of Naqara, we continue our journey around the coastline of the island, stopping for a picnic lunch. More kayaking after lunch takes us to Kenia Beach Resort, where comfortable beach-front ‘bures’ await us.
(All meals included)

Day Five
The biggest day of the expedition: we cross the channel between Ono and Kadavu then kayak along the coast, stopping to enjoy another picnic/snorkel/siesta session. By the end of the day we're in a resort named Matava, the Great Astrolabe Hideaway. Matava is a unique resort, situated where the rain-forest meets the reef. Luxurious surroundings and adventurous pursuits are a specialty.
(All meals included)

Day Six
A kayak journey across turquoise lagoons, and time to snorkel where turtles are often seen. We'll paddle a little further to a nearby village for lunch, rest a little, then follow a trail through the forest to a spectacular waterfall and swimming area. Back to Matava for a special last evening dinner and a well-earned sleep.
(All meals included)

Day Seven
More sea kayaking and snorkelling for those still keen, otherwise a sleepy morning. Another scenic boat-ride (1 hour) to Kadavu's airport, a farewell to the guides, and onward travel plans.
(Breakfast meals included)
