Explore Taveuni & Lomaloma Islands with Te Kaihōpara – A True Sailing Expedition in Fiji

Sail off the beaten path and explore the raw, untouched beauty of Fiji’s Taveuni and Lomaloma Islands aboard Te Kaihōpara, a 72-foot expedition sailing yacht built for adventure. With Ocean Sailing Expeditions, this remote island itinerary offers a deeper, more immersive way to experience Fiji—where rainforest-covered coastlines meet vibrant coral reefs and authentic island life.
