Savusavu Swim Spot

Went out today to do a harbour cruise.

We left the Fuel dock, & went across the Savusavu Bay, to a secluded spot, where there is a lovely beach where one could have a swim & do some snorkeling, if they chose.

The yacht season has started, so our little port is starting to fill up with yachts from all over the world.

Savusavu is a Port Of Entry, so yachts call in here, to clear Immigration & Customs, before cruising around Fiji.

A few stay a couple of weeks, some longer, resting after their sail here, getting supplies, or to just relax before continuing on their cruise.

Savusavu Port

21st May.

There has been a lot of rain in Fiji over the last few weeks, some days the rain has been so heavy it has caused flooding on the main Island of Fiji.


We had a trip out to Namena the other day, to drop off a couple, onto the dive boat Agressor.
They had missed joining the boat at Nadi.


Here are photos I took on a earlier trip, showing entering the port of Savusavu.

Savusavu Flora

13th May

A few more photos of flowers, taken in my garden.


There was the strangest plant that I found, just after a couple of days of light rain, in the garden.

It looked like a toadstool with a beautiful lace outer (looked like a skirt).

If anyone knows what the plant is, I would be grateful to hear from you.


It died after a day in the sun.

Flowers Of Savusavu

9th May

Took some photos of flowers growing in my garden, the other day.


I thought someone out there, might be interested in the type of flowers that grow in Savusavu.

There is a lot more variety & different colours of the flowers, shown here.

Perfect Morning In Savusavu

4th May.

Well another month has passed, & we are now officially, out of the Cyclone season.

We were lucky to have been spared any real damage to our town, during this season.


Took Searov out, on the bay, a few days ago, to give the engines a run, & see that everything was in working order.


It was another perfect day on the water, beautiful clear skies, calm seas & lots of Dolphins.

Yes, we were fortunate enough to come across a school of Dolphins again, & this time I had the camera near by.

Pacific Sun in Savusavu

27th April.

What a beautiful morning it was, for the second visit of Pacific Sun.

She had about 1,800 passengers from Australia, all eager to visit our little town.

The passengers on village tours & other planed events, disembarked the ship first so that the buses could leave.
Then the remaining passengers who just wanted to shop & wonder around, embarked through out the morning.

Going by the comments received from the passengers, I think it is safe to say, everyone enjoyed their visit.

It was hard work trying to get the last group, in the Yacht Club & last minute shoppers, to board the last tender.

There is another visit planned for later in the year, so until then, Thank You for the money spent in our little town, it helped a lot of people.

Seaplane At Copra Shed

We were able to witness the arrival of a Seaplane, at the new dock at the Copra Shed Marina, today.

On Sunday, another cruise ship will be arriving at Savusavu, it is one of the P.&O line, so will be bringing in a lot of tourist, to our little town.

Everyone is hoping for fine weather, so the visitors will enjoy our, Hidden Paradise.
