Located in the northern part of the Yasawa Islands in the Fiji archipelago, Rakumba Island covers an area of approximately 3.5 square kilometers and is known for its pristine ecology and unique culture. The island is covered in dense rainforest and surrounded by turquoise blue lagoons and coral reefs, making it an ideal location for snorkeling and diving.
The island has a private marine reserve where you can see marine life such as eagle rays and sea turtles. The famous "Devilfish Passage" allows visitors to swim with gentle manta rays. The island is also home to the rare Crowned Iguana and Fijian Fruit Bat, making it an ecologically diverse place.
Visitors can participate in traditional kava ceremonies, weaving workshops or hike to the island's highest point for a 360-degree view of the ocean. The island's eco-friendly resorts are solar-powered and offer an eco-friendly accommodation experience.
The island is approximately 4 hours by boat from Nadi International Airport and is best visited during the dry season (May-October). It is advisable to bring sun protection and eco-friendly toiletries, and to respect the traditions of hospitality in the local 'Bula' culture.
