Excursion Waitabu marine park snorkeling adventure tour at Taveuni
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Enjoy a half-day (four hours) of snorkeling, swimming, and village life on your visit to Waitabu Marine Park. Embark from the dock for the half-hour coach drive to the village of Waitabu.
Once you have been briefed, experience an hour of snorkeling in the pristine marine preserve waters. Villagers initiated the Marine Park 1998 as a pilot project to protect their native fishing grounds from over-fishing. The project has shown real success. Delight in the colorful corals and diverse varieties of fish that now thrive here. Bask in the pleasure of swimming in the crystal-clear waters, where you might get a surprise visit from a familiar turtle that calls the Waitabu reef home or have an encounter with a gentle ray.
Taste fresh coconut juice served with a platter of fresh seasonal fruits such as banana, melon, and pineapple. Explore the village, take photos or shop for souvenirs of local crafts.
Board your coach for the return trip to Waiyevo.
