This makes for a great day trip out to the 4 islands in front of the house. on the third island a beautiful secluded beach makes for the perfect picnic spot and the snorkeling around the island is spectacular! please just let us know ahead of time when you would like the kayaks and we will have them at the beach and ready for you with life jackets and a dry bag (snorkel gear also available to rent if needed). Other things to note Taveuni is full of adventure, please feel free to ask us about any activities on the island you may wish to explore (Lavena coastal walk, Bouma falls, natural waterslides, International Date line, Diving the rainbow reef, fishing tours, birdwatching...) we are happy to help with this. Raintree Gardens is located right in the heart of Matei so it's just a couple minutes walk to 2 shops which sell all the basic food items, drinks, and anything else you might need. There is a beach just across the street and we have multiple restaurants all within walking distance. Please keep in mind that Fiji is a very tropical climate so we do have geckos, flies, mosquitoes etc. all over the island. The houses are fully screened in so as long as the screen doors are kept closed these critters should not find their way inside the house. We do rely completely on solar so we do just ask to please turn off fans and lights when they aren't being used to help conserve power.
