RELAXATION
After a few days, most guests realize the real pleasures here
go beyond what the eye can see. You'll easily surrender
to the leisurely flow of our friendly, sun filled Fijian days.
Neighboring islanders host activities such as Sunday morning
church services, a mission school visit or an open air market.
At day's end, many guests enjoy sitting under the huge banyan
tree, sharing "kava" (the ceremonial drink) and song
with other guests and staff.
There are no luxury high rises, no tennis courts, no
airfields, no shopping malls. No televisions, no
newspapers, no billboards. Just unspoiled natural beauty
and the gentle rhythm of the tides.
FUN-FILLED ACTIVITIES
For those of you who may have brought with you an
unbridled sense of energy for activity - look no further.

SCUBA
Turtle is ideal for divers. We have stunning virgin reefs and superb
visibility. There are no other divers in the water and there is no
current. There are hundreds of species of fish to be found only a
20-minute boat ride from Turtle. In the deeper regions offshore, guests
have spotted dolphins, tuna, pilot whales, sailfish, marlin, manta rays,
and many other species of fish.
DIVING EQUIPMENT - Though you must be certified, and bring your own
regulator (rental available) and dive card, the resort will provide you
with full foot fins, masks, weight belts, and tanks, as well as expert
direction from our very knowledgeable staff.

SNORKELING
Fiji is world-renowned for the fantastic beauty of its underwater
environment. Tropical fish flash through a blue heaven of ocean and
castles of roseate coral. You might see the brilliant parrotfish,
lionfish, angelfish, crescent perch, sea cucumbers, and even octopi in
your travels through the lagoon.

FISHING
DEEP-SEA SPORT FISHING - The 36 ft. dual hull catamaran, "Manta
Ray", is Turtle Island's well equipped and comfortable fishing
boat. Trips to fish are scheduled to go every Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday. Fishing trips usually in the early morning and last
between 4-6 hours and are dependent on weather conditions. The
"Manta Ray" trolls the reefs located around Turtle Island and
neighboring islands. Catches include fish such as yellow fin tuna,
trevally, wahoo, Spanish mackerel, mahi mahi, barracuda, shark,
skipjack tuna, rainbow runner, and the occasional sailfish..
FLY FISHING - Miles of unspoiled shoreline, pristine shallow
reefs and an abundant fish population with little fishing pressure
combine to make the Yasawas a perfect fly fisherman's' paradise. Target
species include bonefish, trevally, coral trout and red sea bass.
Turtle Island does not provide instruction for this sport and suggests
that guests bring their own equipment.
