Fiji's fourth-largest island has barely any roads — transfers happen by boat, which sets the tone. Kadavu fronts the Great Astrolabe Reef, one of the world's largest barrier reefs, where manta rays feed year-round and dive sites go unnamed for lack of visitors. A handful of eco-resorts and village homestays share the coastline with birds found nowhere else. Fly from Nadi or Suva to Vunisea, and pack soft bags for the boat.
