One of the local attractions when taking a holiday in Savusavu Fiji Islands is dolphin-watching at Natewa Bay, and most resorts and hotels organise trips for guests to see these wonderful marine animals. Natewa Bay is a pleasant road journey from Savusavu town along the Hibiscus Highway. The closest resort is the Lomalagi Resort, located on a bluff overlooking this huge bay - said to be the largest in the southern hemisphere. But there are also many other Savusavu resorts and vacation rental homes where you can stay.

There are also many other great adventure activities in the Savusavu region of Fiji, including scuba diving, snorkelling, game and sport fishing, kayaking, trekking, sailing and more.

Savusavu Bay is one of the most beautiful harbours in the Fiji Islands. It has become one of the most popular destinations for yacht to visit in Fiji. The harbour is a great place to moor with vies of Savusavu Town and the bay. The bay is also a favourite fishing area for marlin with a number of fishing tours and trips offered by the resorts and fishing operators in and around Savusavu.

Waisali Rainforest Reserve is a declared protected area and is a biodiversity conservation project owned by the Waisali community in partnership with the National Trust of Fiji and assisted by NZAID. The very hight diversity and high incidence of endemic species makes Waisali one of the few managed parks in Fiji with a unique and important flora and faunal composition.

The reserve is approximately 130 hectares and is one of the last unexploited rainforests on Vanua Levu.

Flora

Around 50% of the protected area is dense "dakua" forest (Fiji Kauri) - "dakua makadre" and "dakua salusalu' forests. Other native trees prevalent in the area include native softwoods such as Yaka and Yasi. Some of these trees have been around for more than 100 years. There are also about 30 species of orchids found in the area.

Fauna

The reserve is also home to the endangered Fiji Ground Frog and the endemic Fiji Tree Frogs. The ground frog population in Waisali is the only known population of the species on the mainland of Fiji and is a significant indicator in terms of the distribution and conservation of the species. The reserve also contains the largest population of Fiji Tree Frogs and is the only known site with all the three amphibian species including the Cane Toad.

Birds

Birds found in the reserve include the rare Orange Dove, the Red Shining Parrot, the Collard Lory and the Orange Breasted Myzomela among many more. So far there are 21 species of birds found on the reserve, which represents about 40% of the breeding land bird species in Fiji.
