Rotuma island

Rotuma is a remote island in the north of Fiji. Local beaches are not the best in the country. It's worth to get here only for unique local people (Rotumans are a Polynesian ethnic group). Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Coordinates: -12.488626, 177.122964

Hotels [edit]

Hotels are prohibited on the island. You can stay in families only. To get an invitation, it is best to contact with the locals at the forum of www.rotuma.net website.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Nadi International Airport (NAN). Next take a domestic flight ($600 for a round-trip, once a week). The distance is long, so price is quite reasonable.

You can also get by Western Shipping (Fiji) ferry about twice cheaper. However, the ferry goes only once a month, it takes 36 hours per way, and the conditions are very basic.

When to go [edit]

The best time to travel to Rotuma island is a dry season from May to November.
