Today I discuss the town of Savasavu in Fiji, a yacht first point of entry into Fiji, I discuss the different marina and mooring options, provisioning and where to find a sim card and a cold beer.
Savusavu has most of the requirements fora visiting yachty. The town is also a great spot to conduct crew transfer, as the airport is close by and it only a 1hr flight from Nadi Fiji.
Its also one location where basic repairs can be made and equipment obtained. The new marina is built to cyclone standards, if you need to leave your yacht.
I also discuss diving at Paradise dive resort on the Island of Taviuni its about 25nm or a 6hr passage from Savusavu. Paradise is a great spot for visiting yachts to access fantasic dive spots such as "the white wall" and "Rainbow Reef" we went with the resort dive team on their fast boats, we also dived nearer to the resort using our own tender.
