SCUBA Diving
 Nagigia Island is Fiji's most southerly resort and has only recently been discovered as a world class dive location with some of Fiji’s deepest waters, year round outstanding visibility and fish life of a magnitude rarely seen in today’s over exploited world. This is still truly a pristine marine environment with wall dives to rival any in the world offering caves, swim throughs and amazing underwater canyons for some very exciting diving adventures.
This area is believed to be a major Manta Ray breeding area as they are frequently seen with very young juveniles cruising along the spectacular wall drop offs and rising from the azure depths to greet our diving parties. Beautiful coral formations complete the experience. Dive sites suit all categories of SCUBA divers, from the novice to the serious adventure diver.
Snorkeling
 The reef adjacent to Nagigia Island is sheltered and calm, and offers an unparalleled snorkeling experience that will appeal to the novice and the experienced snorkeler alike. The tide range is only 1 metre and for most of the day the reef is easily inspected at close range in about 2 metres of water depth.
Glide across the reef in the slow currents to further enhance the fun look down into the cavernous caves and trenches that dot this remarkable reef. Snorkeling gear is provided on the island and included in the rate.
Fishing
 Nagigia Island is a fisherman's heaven. It has truly world-class deep sea and small boat fishing. Approximately 400 meters (1,200 ft) offshore is a deep trench going as deep as 6,000 ft. There is also a sea mountain 7 miles south that comes up to 120 ft with sides as deep as 3,000 ft.
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.
Surfing, Windsurfing & Kite Surfing
 Nagigia is a mecca for surfing, wind surfing and kite surfing enthusiasts. It has private surf breaks, rights and lefts and enjoys offshore prevailing (trade) winds. See Wave Today on our website for daily surf photos for the last 4 years. There is an excellent viewing platform on land near the main left hand break for spectators. A boat is available everyday to take you to the surf. Surfing Fiji at its best! Surf Fiji left and right handers depending upon the wind, tide and swell direction. The prevailing winds are cross offshore for the King Kong left. The average size is 3’ to 5’ offshore. This break has a very deep water take-off, reducing risk of injury and is good for intermediate to advanced surfers. There are several beginner areas depending upon weather conditions plus a long right hand surf break at Uatotoka (boat trip extra cost) if conditions are correct. All other breaks are nearby.
