Port summary
Dravuni is a ~1 km village island in the Kadavu group with no town, roads, cars, shops or ATMs. Cruise ships anchor off the Great Astrolabe Reef and tender passengers to the village beach, so the call is weather-dependent. Everything is on foot and mostly free: two beaches, snorkelling off the reef, a steep hike to a 360-degree lookout, and a village market. Bring your own snorkel gear, small Fijian-dollar cash and sun protection.
Getting to Dravuni Village
From the cruise terminal to the city centre
The ship's tender is the only way ashore, a ride of about 10 minutes; the stop can be cancelled in swell.
📍 Board the ship's tender from the ship; it lands on the village beach
The whole island is explored on foot - the village and beaches are a few minutes' flat walk, the summit trail is short but steep.
📍 Step off the tender onto the beach and follow the sand and grass paths
