Viani Bay, Vanua Levu, Fiji


We cruised 50 miles along the coast line from Savusavu to Viani Bay.  Very easy trip on calm seas with no wind.  We were delighted to have such a calm day so that we could enjoy the sun and pilot whales that greeted us along the way.  We entered the bay from Somosomo Strait which should only be done in daylight as there are many reefs in this Strait.

The Fisher family, who owns the land around the bay, welcomes and looks after visiting yachts.  Jack Fisher, 3rd or 4th generation, rowed out to Lardo to greet us the day we arrived – his family provides lots of services, including mooring, garbage pickup, laundry, trips to Taveuni for shopping, hikes and snorkeling/diving expeditions to rainbow reef.
