Njari Island
A coral reef island northwest of Gizo, famous for its “Central Station” dive site, where fish are extraordinarily dense.
The reef walls around Njari Island once set a survey record for the most fish species seen on a single dive. Sharks, schools of barracuda, turtles and manta rays are common, and the “Central Station” dive site is the best known. Shallow waters are good for snorkeling, and the island has a white sand beach for a picnic break. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes by boat from Gizo. The trip is usually combined with a diving or snorkeling excursion, and a landing fee applies.
