Caqalai Island - Fiji. The fiji-village-island experience

CAQALAI ISLAND - Fiji Islands

Caqalai Island ( say: thung-gulie ) is a 14 acres coral island south of Ovalau in a sea area known as Moturiki Passage.
Caqalai Backpacker Hostel is run by the Methodist Church of Fiji.
It is located on the eastern side of Fiji's main island Viti Levu, well off the main tourist track. Its the perfect place for all those that want to get away from it all and experience real laid back Fiji Island live.

Things to do
White-sandy beaches surround the island. At low tide walk out on the tidal flat and explore the sea live.
Snorkel just off the beach, beach comb, read a book, play volleyball against the locals, go fishing, just experience island live.
Visit Levuka the old capital for day trip or take a hike on Ovalau with Epi to the village of Lovoni which is located in the caldera of the Ovalau vulcano.
After dinner join the staff around the Kawa bowl (Tanoa) and listen to their Fijian songs or sit around a bonfire at the beach with friends and watch the stars in a clear sky......
On Sundays join the locals on a trip to Niubasaga, visit the church and enjoy Fijian village hospitality.
