Kadavu, Fiji's fourth largest island, is situated just over 100km south of Viti Levu and is one of the few remaining undeveloped islands in Fiji.

Having maintained its strong cultural values the general population leads subsistent lifestyles in coastal villages under mountainous jungles and waterfalls plummeting from the hilltops.

The islands deeply indented bays, fringed by coral reefs and mangrove forest provide habitat to a host of birds including the endemic Kadavu parrot. Forest openings reveal lizards basking on rocks, and butterflies spiraling skyward in a lazy dance.

The Great Astrolabe Reef and the Kadavu islands have both been created by volcanic activity. Mad Fish Dive Centre is on the doorstep of this magnificent living organism, home to an abundance of marine life unequalled in Fiji.

Divers and snorkellers can expect a diversity of fish life and corals of every conceivable colour and hue.
