SCUBA - Turtle is ideal for divers. We have stunning virgin
reefs and superb visibility. There are hundreds of species of
fish to be found only a 20-minute boat ride from Turtle. In the
deeper regions offshore, guests have spotted dolphins, tuna, pilot
whales, sailfish, marlin, manta rays, and many other species of
fish.
DIVING EQUIPMENT - Though you must be certified, and bring
your own regulator (rental available) and dive card, the resort
will provide you with full foot fins, masks, weight belts, and
tanks, as well as expert direction from our very knowledgeable
"Westside Watersports" team of divers.
SNORKELING - Fiji is world-renowned for the fantastic beauty
of its underwater environment. Tropical fish flash through a blue
heaven of ocean and castles of roseate coral. You might see the
brilliant parrotfish, lionfish, angelfish, crescent perch, sea
cucumbers, and even octopi in your travels through the lagoon.
DEEP-SEA SPORT FISHING - The 36 ft. dual hull catamaran, "Manta
Ray", is Turtle Island's well equipped and comfortable fishing
boat. Trips to fish are scheduled to go every Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday. Fishing trips usually in the early morning and
last between 4-6 hours and are dependent on weather conditions.
The "Manta Ray" trolls the reefs located around Turtle
Island and neighboring islands. Catches include fish such
as yellow fin tuna, trevally, wahoo, Spanish mackerel, mahi
mahi, barracuda, shark, skipjack tuna, rainbow runner, and the
occasional sailfish.
FLY FISHING - Miles of unspoiled shoreline, pristine shallow
reefs and an abundant fish population with little fishing pressure
combine to make the Yasawas a perfect fly fisherman's' paradise.
Target species include bonefish, trevally, coral trout and red
sea bass. Turtle Island does not provide instruction for
this sport but does arrange day trips through a local guide on
a neighboring island for a charge. Turtle Island suggests that
guests bring their own equipment.
