Located just 60 nautical miles south of Fiji’s main island Viti Levu, Kadavu is a rugged, remote and breathtakingly beautiful island that oozes with aquatic adventure and charm. Home to The Great Astrolabe Reef it is noted for it’s awesome dive sites and more recently its virgin fishing grounds privy only to a select number of charter vessels. With raging currents, seamounts, canyons and drop-offs galore, the chances of hooking up to marlin here is high.

Kadavu has the added bonus of exceptional surface gamefishing for traditional species such as Blue and Black Marlin, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Groper, Walu, Giant Trevally, Mahi Mahi and many more. Throw in the surf, diving, remoteness and sheer beauty and you have a rare combination.

When you are staying at Nagigia Island Resort, the fishing grounds are right on your doorstep, only 5-10 minutes away with many large fish caught close to Cape Washington. The boats used are open type fiberglass and because the fish are on our doorstep, the cost to go fishing is extremely reasonable. Much larger big game fishing boats are available for charter. Whatever your fishing wish, we can provide it.
