This is Nukubati's premier activity. Just a half hour boat ride takes you to the Great Sea Reef. Nukubati Island is the only resort in Fiji with access to this vast underwater treasure. Remote, pristine and untouched, this enormous reef with miles of hard and soft corals is being explored by guests of Nukubati Island. Manta rays, turtles, dolphins and whales parade among uncountable numbers of fish, with a myriad of nudibranchs, gastropods, and crustaceans displaying around the corals.
Nukubati is renowned for first class service and that service extends to the diving. Each couple or dive group have their own boat and dive guide. All dive gear is provided by the resort and is top of the range Apollo brand with both metric and imperial dive computers. You plan your dive with your dive guide for maximum enjoyment and if you find a new site with that "something special", the naming rights are yours !!!

Fishing – fishing is an important part of island life, and most of the staff here are excellent fisherman and women. Handlines and rods are used, and local people dive for much of their food. A wealth of varieties of fish, shellfish and crustaceans are abundant in waters and above reefs around the island. Fishing trips often include a swim from the boat and are usually a good chance to snorkel. There is a range of fishing to choose from – fly fishing, trawling, game fishing and casting. If you would like to fish, ask staff to organise this for you – they can advise the best times and locations.
Nukubati’s fleet is made available for our guests to charter for the whole day or half a day. Full day charters include all equipment, lunch and beverages. Light meal and beverages served for half day charters. Let our boys guide you through a fisherman’s paradise. Nukubati has all the gear required for success. Sport fishing – Charter one of our two fully equipped sport fishing boats and go outside the Great Sea Reef for the really big ones !!
Salt water fly fishing – Whether you stand on the beach or take the punt and cast around the mangroves, you are sure to enjoy this increasingly popular style of fishing. Bring your own lures or select from Nukubati’s proven range.
Or just plain hand lining over the small inner reefs – serene, tranquil and very rewarding.
Hand spear fishing on the reef. Let Manoa show you how – it’s harder than it looks!

Surfing - Several superb reef passes are situated a comfortable 15-20 minute boat ride from the Resort, while other epic surf spots are just waiting to be discovered.
There are two main reef passes, Raviravi and Twin Passage. Both passes have a lefthander and a righthander opposite each other and about 300 metres apart. On Twin Passage the righty is an incredibly fun wave, just perfect and totally rippable with barrels possible at take off and on the inside section if big enough. It is an exceptional wave. The lefty is grindy, very fast and hollow, longer than the right and more challenging and intense, an unreal wave. There is another lefty on the other side of the righty which is also pretty intense, fast, hollow, shallow and reeling, definitely the heaviest of the three waves. Raviravi’s conditions are similar to Twin Passage and are usually working at the same time.
Another 20 minutes away by boat on the North side of Kia Island, when the swells are really running, are world class lefts and rights, noted as far back as the 1980’s in Lonely Planet Guides as the best surf in Fiji. Nukubati Island is the only resort with access to the Great Sea Reef surf . We have the boats and the guides to take you to awesome waves where you will be the only one surfing.
The best time to grab your surfboard and head to Nukubati is between the months of November and March. This is when the swells come across the Pacific from the north and can create exciting surf conditions on the Great Sea Reef. Interestingly these are the same swells that create the famous surf on the north shore of Oahu in Hawaii. For surfing – Boat Charter rates apply.
Massage – The skills of traditional Fijian massage have been passed down over centuries. This is one experience not to be missed on Nukubati.Taken in our Massage Bure or in the comfort of your own bure. Or on the beach.
One hour massage using Fijian oils $50.00
Phone, fax, mail and email – There is a telephone located near the office. If you need to use the phone or are expecting calls or fax messages please let the office know. Mail can be dropped off at the office for posting. Email facility is available to guests at a cost of $5 for each dial up connection made.
Shopping/Boutique – staff go to Labasa weekly. Shopping is somewhat limited in Labasa but if you have any personal needs, please discuss them with the staff and they will be pleased to assist you if at all possible. We have a small boutique on the island that operates from 9-5 and sells some stunning Black Pearls, a variety of Fijian artefacts and some general souvenir items.
