Snorkeling in Fiji
Snorkeling in fiji is a highlight that just about every traveler tries when having fun in Fiji. You can find excellent reefs and amazing sea life to scope out. Not to mention a lot of great places close to the coast making it a great “pass the time away activity” if your looking for things to do in Fiji that’s affordable. All you need to get going is a mask, snorkel and a set of fins.
Be sure and put on sunscreen and maybe even a t-shirt because it’s really easy to lose track of time and get caught up in the sights and come out with a scorched back and legs. It is common to see sharks and other sea life and a lot of the underwater critters are poisonous so it’s best not to touch anything. Snorkeling in Fiji at night is an excellent experience if your not afraid of the unknown and open to different Fiji activities.
You can usually find great snorkeling gear from the tour operators and resorts but keep in mind bad snorkeling gear can ruin the experience. It’s not bad idea to find out in advance how good the gear is or bring your own. It’s pretty easy to carry, and inexpensive, plus you won’t have the thought of putting your mouth where someone else’s has been.
A lot of the places in Fiji you can only snorkel at high tide due to the coral and be cautious of the currents. The best places to go on Viti Levu is at Natadola Beach but watch the current. You can also check out Nananu-i-Ra and Beqa Lagoon. The coast in Viti Levu is not that great for snorkeling because it’s pretty deep and swimming is mostly tidal.
For the best snorkeling dive site head toward the outer islands. Some of the best sites include Mamanucas and Yasawas, Vanua Levu’s rocky coastline, particularly near Mumu’s Resort, Taveuni’s Vuna Reef, offshore of the Matava Resort in Kadavu, and the Lomaiviti Group’s Caqalai and Leleuvia. Just about any site that is accessible will lead to a great time snorkeling in Fiji.
