Overview

Taveuni is renowned as Fiji鈥檚 Garden Island, though its tangled, steamy interior is more reminiscent of a prehistoric jungle than anything that might yield to a hedgetrimmer and set of pruning shears. Hot and often wet, this impossibly green volcanic bump is covered by a riotous quilt of palms, monster ferns and tropical wildflowers, one of which 鈥 the tagimaucia 鈥 is found nowhere else on earth. Its dense rainforest is a magnet for colourful bird life.
