Taveuni

Fiji's lush 'Garden Island' with rainforest waterfalls and the Rainbow Reef.

Taveuni is Fiji's third-largest island, a long volcanic spine cloaked in rainforest and ringed by some of the South Pacific's most colorful soft-coral reefs. The Somosomo Strait, separating Taveuni from Vanua Levu, holds the famous Rainbow Reef and the Great White Wall — a vertical coral cliff carpeted in pale soft corals.
