Rotuma Island
An expedition to Rotuma Island — the northernmost and most remote island of the Fijian archipelago, located north of Viti Levu. Rotuma stands apart from the rest of Fiji both geographically and culturally — Polynesian heritage and a unique underwater ecosystem make this destination truly exclusive.
The long ocean crossing is rewarded with dives on virtually untouched reefs that diving vessels rarely reach. The island’s volcanic origin creates diverse underwater terrain — from gentle coral slopes to sheer walls and underwater peaks.

Best Season
May to October is the dry season, with the clearest water and the calmest sea. November to April is warmer and greener but brings rain and cyclones; the Yasawa mantas are around from May to October
Visa
Russian citizens need no visa: a visitor permit for up to four months is issued on arrival. A return ticket and a passport valid for six months are required. Check the transit visas of your connection — the route almost always runs through Australia, New Zealand, South Korea or the USA.

There are no direct flights from Russia. Fly to Nadi (NAN) via Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney or Auckland; from Moscow the journey takes 25–35 hours. From there Fiji Link domestic flights reach Taveuni (TVU) or Savusavu (SVU) in about an hour, or a boat transfer runs to the Coral Coast resorts and the Yasawa Islands.
