Taveuni is the third-largest island in Fiji, after Vanua Levu and Viti Levu, with a total land area of 434 square kilometres (168 square miles). The cigar-shaped island, a massive shield volcano which rises from the floor of the Pacific Ocean, is situated 6.5 kilometres (4.0 miles) to the east of Vanua Levu, across the Somosomo Strait.
Taveuni has abundant flora and is known as the 'Garden Island of Fiji'. It is a popular tourist destination. Tourists are attracted to the excellent diving opportunities, prolific bird life, bushwalks and waterfalls. Central parts of the island receive very high rainfall rates. Being volcanic in origin Taveuni's soils have supported the island's most historically significant industry, agriculture.
Nette from McPhail did her usual great job. She made everything very easy for us and got us the room and location that we wanted. This made for a great vacation for us at the Barcello resort in Huatulco, Mexico. The resort was great and our room was wonderful with pool and ocean view all for a good bargain price. Using the PLUS for Sunwing travel was well worth the extra cost and would suggest that anyone else going 5 plus hours and wanting less waiting time to use this as well.
