Taveuni is the third-largest island in Fiji, after Vanua Levu and Viti Levu, with a total land area of 434 square kilometres (168 square miles). The cigar-shaped island, a massive shield volcano which rises from the floor of the Pacific Ocean, is situated 6.5 kilometres (4.0 miles) to the east of Vanua Levu, across the Somosomo Strait.
Taveuni has abundant flora and is known as the 'Garden Island of Fiji'. It is a popular tourist destination. Tourists are attracted to the excellent diving opportunities, prolific bird life, bushwalks and waterfalls. Central parts of the island receive very high rainfall rates. Being volcanic in origin Taveuni's soils have supported the island's most historically significant industry, agriculture.
I used Diane Ross to plan a trip to NYC.
Wanted to thank her for organizing our trip. We had a wonderful time and everything went off perfectly. Our seats at the shows were just great, dinner at The Tavern on The Green was wonderful and the Tour of Lights was so worth it. Having the shuttle was extremely helpful. We did the boat tour around the Statue of Liberty and enjoyed that very much. The trip was a success and in a huge part was due to her. Without Diane's assistance our trip would not have been so enjoyable.
