Qamea Island
Qamea
A small island off Taveuni's northeast coast with villages, bays and boutique resorts, reachable by boat from Matei for a half- or full-day snorkelling trip.
Qamea lies about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) across a strait from Taveuni. The island has several Fijian villages, and its coast is marked by deep bays and mangroves. The surrounding reefs are good for snorkelling and kayaking. Neighbouring Matagi Island is horseshoe-shaped and has calm bays. Each island has one or two high-end resorts, and visitors who are not staying there can ask boat operators in Matei to arrange a half- or full-day trip. Laucala Island is a private holiday island that is not open to non-guests.
