Deuba
Sea Kayaking: ½-day program
Coastal
Cruise: Sea Kayaking • Snorkeling
Our stable, two-person sea kayaks provide the ideal vessel with which
to explore Fiji’s beautiful coastline. We begin our ½-day
journey near the mouth of the Deuba River where we are acquainted
with our craft before heading out to sea.
En route, we will explore the mangrove forests that thrive in these
coastal waters. As we paddle through these unusual forests, we’ll
keep a sharp lookout for local denizens that call this unique ecosystem
home. Mud lobsters, herons, harrier hawks, king fishers, and fruit
bats inhabit this area, which many refer to as “The Ocean’s
Nursery.” Here amongst the “dread-locked” root
systems of the mangrove forest, some of the ocean’s fauna reside
until they are large enough to fend for themselves in the azure waters
of Beqa Lagoon.
Following lunch, we set our course for the open ocean where we search
for coral gardens and the kaleidoscope of tropical fish that make
this saltwater oasis their home.
Our final leg will take us
along the sandy beaches of Pacific Harbour where we can relax beneath
the shade of a palm tree and recount the memories of our coastal sojourn.

Coastal Cruise: Sea Kayaking • Snorkeling
This incredible journey begins with passage across Rovodrau Bay and Beqa Passage to the protected waters of Beqa Island. En route, we enjoy spectacular views of Vitu Levu’s mist-shrouded, mountainous interior and palm-fringed coastline.
Following a hearty lunch, we head for Malumu Bay, where we sea kayak deep into the cliff-lined interior and visit Lawaqalevu Island, where hundreds of fruit bats cling to the surrounding trees like overripe fruit. Tides permitting, we paddle to the apparent end of the bay only to continue through a secret mangrove tunnel that leads to the great blue sea. Here, views of Kadavu, more snorkeling, island exploration and peaceful paddling fill the remainder of the afternoon.
We conclude our journey by riding the waves and chasing the setting sun back to the mainland. A gentle sea breeze and a colorful sunset conclude a full day of fun, making an exploration of Beqa Island and beyond a rewarding and memorable experience along Fiji’s adventure coast.
Please note that the actual sequence of the trip and elements included are subject to tidal fluctuations.
