Recreational Activities
Scuba Diving
Scuba Diving is available at the resort on a daily basis. We have a PADI certified Gold Palm 5 star resort with two resident instructors. You will not be in large groups and your instruction will be very one-on-one. It would be difficult to find better circumstances to obtain a scuba certification!
Snorkelling
While you are free to snorkel at your own leisure in and around the resort, we recommend most visitors to join the activities team for a snorkelling trip to the reef by boat. This is actually located some distance from the shore however the boat will moor on the deep side allowing you to see the varying types of marine life as the coral wall descends. Take your towel and plenty of sunscreen. Snorkels, masks and fins are available upon request from the activities bure located on the main beach.
Fishing
Is not one of our advertised or included activities. However you should contact us if you are interested in experiencing fishing during your stay.
Private Dinners
It is possible to organise private meals for two in a number of locations on Vatulele. Guests may choose from such locations as the wine cellar, on the beach, the terrace of their bure and the folly overlooking the resort. It is advised that the guest books these private dinners in advance with the Food & Beverage Department as the resort is only able to accept one couple at a time in some of these locations.
Picnics
Picnic breakfasts and lunches are available for visits to Nooki Nooki Island. The resort will provide you with shade, transportation and a picnic hamper with food items selected from our picnic menu.You will need shoes - preferably ones that you do not mind getting wet - and general beach items such as a towel, sunscreen, etc. You should pre-book with the Food & Beverage department a couple of days in advance as these activities are very
popular. Snorkelling equipment may also be of some enjoyment to you.
The Legendary Red Prawns
This involves a short boat trip and pleasant fifteen minute walk along the base of our sandstone cliffs, through tropical rainforest until arriving at the tidal rock pools which house Vatulele’s sacred red prawns. Along the way you will be able to view ancient petroglyphs, one of which our logo is based upon. The legend surrounding the red prawns is well described in the information folder in your bure. You will need to wear shoes (preferably reef walkers) and insect repellent at certain times of the year.
Cave Walk
This hike takes about 30 minutes in each direction. Along the way you will be informed of the local Fijian bush medicine and see small plantations of young mulberry trees used to make tapa cloth. There are two caves, one of which contains a crystal clear pool of water, deep enough for swimming and allowing enough daylight in to see the multitude of stalegtites overhead. You will need sturdy walking shoes, your swimming costume, towel and insect repellent at certain times of the year.
Lighthouse Walk
More of a good walk than a hike, this trip takes approximately 25 minutes through the rainforest. The path is rocky and uneven in some places, so good walking shoes are required. Vatulele does not recommend climbing the lighthouse. However the view from the top is spectacular.
Village Trip
Our bus will take you to one of four of Vatulele’s resident native villages, where you will meet the chief of the island, who will welcome the guests with the official Fijian Kava ceremony. After a brief wander through the village, you will have the opportunity to buy local jewellery, handicrafts and tapa cloth made by the villagers themselves. We recommend that you take small denomination of Fijian currency ($5, $10 or $20) and a camera. The resort asks that guests dress somewhat conservatively; long skirts or shorts, plus covered shoulders. At some times of the year, guests like to watch a local football game called rugby.
Sunday Church Service
The Vatulele mini bus will take you to one of the four villages located on Vatulele, for the local church service with local residents. The singing is magnificent but the service is conducted in Fijian and is rather lengthy – one and a half-hours. If you wish to depart prior to the completion, please do not hesitate to ask your guide as it would not cause offence to the Minister or congregation.
Spa Therapies
We have a Fijian therapist offering massage at an additional charge. Price available on application.
