Rainbow Reef Beach Estates is a planned residential Beach Community. Rainbow Reef Beach Estates is easily accessed by water - which gives it island charm and seclusion. Facilities for goods and services are only 15 minutes away by boat on the nearby island of Taveuni. A boat is maintained by the Beach Estates' management for transfers to and from Taveuni. Location Fiji lies at the same latitude as Tahiti and surrounds the 180th meridian - the International Dateline. Rainbow Reef Beach Estates is located right where the 180th meridian intersects Fiji ... where each new day dawns. Located on the eastern tip of a peninsula of Vanua Levu, Fiji's second largest island, the Beach Estates lie in close proximity to the 'Garden Island' of Taveuni and to Rainbow Reef. Thus the Beach Estates are closely associated with both the activities and facilities of Taveuni and the exceptionally beautiful area of the Rainbow Reef Peninsula. Activities in the area Right at the Beach Estates you can relax on the beach, swim and snorkel in the lagoon, or go kayaking or sailing to the many neighboring bays and lagoons. There is a scenic trail along the high ridge of the Estates with panoramic views of the Koro Sea, Rainbow Reef and distant islands. Coupled with a beach walk, the trail is over a mile in length. Nearby resorts and concessions offer scuba diving excursions, sailing charters and game fishing expeditions. This area of Fiji offers world-class scuba diving excursions at Rainbow Reef for all levels of accomplishment from beginner to master diver. Most dive excursion operators also offer lessons and advancement certificates at every level. If you haven't tried scuba diving, or if you are advanced at the sport, the location of Rainbow Reef Beach Estates is your opportunity to experience some of the greatest underwater marvels on the planet! There are a number of restaurants for dining out on Taveuni. Several resorts host weekly "mekes" and "lovos". The meke (said "meh-kay") is traditional Fijian entertainment - lively stories sung by a chorus while entertainers mime gestures to depict the stories' events. The lovo is a traditional Fijian feast - a delicious and abundant array of native dishes, many of them baked in a pit lined with banana leaves. The meke and lovo are always accompanied by Fiji's ceremonial drink called "kava", a mild intoxicant made from the powdered root of the yaqona (said "yahngona") plant. If you're a golfer or a tennis player, a well-groomed 9-hole golf course, two lawn tennis courts and a Clubhouse for cold drinks are just twenty minutes away by boat on Taveuni. There are also some excellent daylong expeditions on Taveuni: hiking to the 60 foot waterfalls at Bouma and swimming in the clear freshwater pools; swooping down the natural waterslides at Waitavala where, on a Sunday afternoon, you'll see native children happily frolicking; rare bird-watching hikes in the high mountains of Taveuni; tours of the Wairiki Catholic Mission and the native Fijian villages; and treks to De Voeux Peak for a sighting of Taveuni's rare Tagimoucia (said "Tangimoutheea") flower. There is exploration, fun and relaxation for everyone. About Fiji Fiji is a land of immense beauty. With its crystalline sea and extensive coral reefs, its multiplicity of tropical flowers and verdant, jungle-laden hillsides, and its high mountains with waterfalls and freshwater pools, Fiji invites you to pleasure and relaxation. And there is another wonderful feature to Fiji - its people. Fijians, ever friendly and hospitable, always loving a joke, are in a class by themselves. Their smiles and ingenuous manner come forward at once in their warm greeting -- "Bula!" -- which means 'Greetings' - 'Health' - 'Happiness'. The Fiji Islands, over 300 in number, have approximately the same land area as the Hawaiian Islands. The three largest islands in Fiji are Viti Levu, "Big Fiji", with the international airport in Nadi and the nation's capitol city, Suva; Vanua Levu, "Big Land", where Rainbow Reef Beach Estates is located; and Taveuni, the "Garden Island", just six miles east of Rainbow Reef Beach Estates. A former British Colony, Fiji gained independence in 1970 and is a parliamentary democracy and a member of the British Commonwealth. English, the official language of Fiji, is commonly spoken throughout the island group. Fiji's sub-tropical maritime climate is tempered by the South Pacific tradewinds. At Rainbow Reef Beach Estates, temperatures range pleasantly between 75o-85o Fahrenheit year round, and the annual rainfall averages 85 inches. Getting to Rainbow Reef Beach Estates Upon arrival at Nadi International Airport on Fiji's main island, daily inter-island domestic flights will take you to Taveuni in an hour. The flight is spectacular, flying over the main island, then across the Koro Sea and up the coast of Vanua Levu over Rainbow Reef, and landing at Matei Airport on Taveuni. After motoring down Taveuni's coast road to the main port at Waiyevo, it is a fifteen minute boat ride to Rainbow Reef Beach Estates. Come and see for yourself. Rainbow Reef Beach Estates - a special piece of tropical paradise.
