Caqalai Island
Caqalai
A simple resort island run by the Methodist church, surrounded by coconut palms and white sand, good for snorkeling and a backpacker atmosphere
Caqalai lies south of Motoriki Island and is a small coral island surrounded by coconut palms and white sand. The Methodist church of Fiji runs a simple backpacker resort here, with beachside huts and communal meals at low prices. Snorkeling around the island reveals coral, tropical fish and the occasional sea turtle, and at low tide you can wade to a nearby “Snake Island.” Boats can be arranged from Levuka or from Bovar on Viti Levu, making it well suited to travelers seeking tranquility.
