Naviti & Around

Introducing Naviti & Around

Roughly midway along the Yasawas, and one of the largest (33 sq km) and highest of the group, Naviti has a rugged volcanic profile, up to 380m high. The island's main attraction is an amazing snorkelling site where you can swim with manta rays. It's near the aptly named Manta Ray Island. Korovou, Coconut Bay and White Sandy Beach Resorts all share a protected, long stretch of white sand, about halfway up the west coast of the island. Unfortunately the swimming is only just possible at high tide here - low tide exposes a wide bank of dead and ugly reef. Fortunately a short track (around a 10-minute walk) next to White Sandy Beach Resort crosses over a hill to the pretty and secluded Honeymoon Beach. Visitors need to make a $1 donation to the village to visit this little cove but the pay off is calm and tranquil swimming waters and great snorkelling.
