Excursion Nature walk and bird watching at bobby`s farm tour at Taveuni

Embark on a half-day birding adventure on the garden island of Taveuni, the third largest island in Fiji that is home to many species of tropical birds, most of which are endemic.

Your day begins early for optimal bird watching. Embark from the dock for the thirty-minute drive from Waiyevo for Nabouono. Meet Bobby, the best birder on Taveuni and a man committed to the preservation of Fiji's wild bird population. Witness rare native birds in their natural habitat and tick them off your life list.

Experience the exceptional density of native species, attributable to the island's relatively inaccessible mountains, abundant food supply and absence of introduced mongoose. Well-known birders describe the experience here as one of their most memorable.

Visit Bobby's farm and enjoy an herbal medicine tour. Refresh with homemade green coconut juice and seasonal fresh fruits.

Return to the ship.
