2. Learn How to Scuba Dive Together

Nothing strengthens the bond like learning a new skill together. Make that new skill scuba diving so that you can fully enjoy the underwater world surrounding Vanua Levu. The island has proximity to renowned dive sites in the Rainbow Reef, Great Sea Reef, the Namena Marine Reserve and much more! While most resorts have a dive operation or access to one, a great place to learn is at the Cousteau Dive Centre at the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, specialising in dive trips to the Namena Marine Reserve.

3. Walk to a Beautiful Waterfall

Set the scene perhaps for popping the question at one of Vanua Levu’s majestic waterfalls. There is no lack of waterfalls to choose from, with popular waterfalls being the Vuadomo and Nakawaga waterfalls. But if you’re looking for something a bit more intimate then many resorts will have waterfalls on their premises. The Emaho Sekawa Resort has three waterfalls near the resort, ranging from an easy walk through a local village to a more difficult hike. Namale Resort & Spa has a wooden staircase and deck overlooking their waterfall which is a popular option for a private dinner. Or if you’re feeling more adventurous, resorts like Koro Sun and Dolphin Bay Retreat offer hiking and waterfall tours where it’s encouraged to get amongst the waterfalls!
