Cousteau Lighthouse Snorkelling

Cousteau Lighthouse Snorkelling

At the edge of the reef, which runs out from Savusavu Bay, is a Lighthouse, which gives its name to the famed snorkelling site. Take an enjoyable, fast scenic ride along the inside of the Bay to snorkel amongst beautiful coral and tropical fish in crystal clear turquoise waters. Savusavu is home to some of the most vibrant and colourful coral in Fiji. There are numerous plate corals, soft spaghetti corals and fish, fish, myriads of black and white sergeant fish as well as clownfish, orange and purple anthias, trumpet fish, pale green damsel fish, humpbacked wrasse and Maori wrasse. The scene takes on the appearance of a tropical aquarium as an abundant small fish dart in and out of the striking coral. Giant clams, grouper and parrotfish are also commonly seen in and around the coral formations. Sea turtles frequent the Lighthouse, so it is always a treat to see one or two. Occasionally, a friendly white-tip reef shark will be seen cruising deep below.
