Taveuni Bird Watching

The best "birder" on our island is Bobby, a man committed to the preservation of our bird wildlife on this island. Trips to his bird sanctuary can be arranged for you right here from the resort. The best time is late in the day & can be combined with a snorkel trip or horseback riding nearby.

Taveuni, Fiji is home to several species of tropical birds. You may be fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of any or all of the following:

Bird lovers world over come to Taveuni to see these special species.

Perhaps the main reason for the variety of bird life is the absence of the mongoose, which was introduced on many of the other islands to control the rat population.Taveuni's relatively inaccessible mountains and abundant food supply also have made it a haven for many species.

Professor Allen Keast and Mr. David Bishop, both respected in the field of bird watching, describe the experience here as one of their most memorable.
