VANUA BALAVU, LAU ISLANDS

East of Vanua Levu and Viti Levu, Vanua Balavu, the third largest of the Lau Islands, is part of Fiji’s Eastern Division. The island is protected by a barrier reef of some 130 kilometres in length. The enclosed lagoon area promises excellent snorkelling while the reef keeps larger ships at bay. Vanua Balavu has a special geological set-up: it has a volcanic part in the south and uplifted coral in the north, even hot springs and limestone caves exist. View more

17 villages with a total of roughly 1200 inhabitants are found along the shore of the island. Lomaloma is the island’s main village with schools, a post office, police station and a small hospital. As the Lau Group was once under Tongan rule, with the Tongan chief Ma’afu residing in the village of Lomaloma, folkloric presentations feature Fijian and Tongan music and dance and have formed a special union. There still are some 400 Tongans living in the village of Sawana, the southern part of Lomaloma.

Expedition activities with Silversea Expedition team

Plus d’infos Fermer

The largest village on Vanua Balavu is Loma Loma (or Lomaloma), located on the southeast coast. In the mid-19th century Tonga conquered the island, and the village of Sawana was built next to Lomaloma. Fifth-generation Tongan descendants still live in Sawana, and the houses with rounded ends show the influence of Tongan architecture. There are nine total villages on the island, and they each follow ancient traditions, including music, dance and yaqona (kava) ceremonies.

Conditions permitting, go ashore on tenders to visit Lomaloma village for a traditional Kava Ceremony (Sevuisevu) and welcome ceremony, followed by a village tour. Return to enjoy a traditional Fijian entertainment with a Togan twist known as Laklaka.

Vanau Balavu is protected by a reef that can be snorkelled from the beach, or an anchored Zodiac, depending on conditions.

On land Vanua Balavu is full of near-perfect, sandy beaches that ring the group's perimeter below the rugged hills above. Within the limestone hills is Vale Ni Bose ("Meeting House of the Gods"), a cavernous area lined with limestone walls and a pool of crystalline water. The Bay of Islands, also known as Qilaqila in the northwest portion of the island is an ideal snorkel and swimming site and a favorite place for boaters to drop anchor.

Your snorkel master and team will set up a snorkel site for you to enjoy the underwater views of this beautiful side of the world on the look for Tuna, Barracudas, with luck some Manta rays and many others.
