Known as the "Garden isle" of Fiji, Taveuni is the result of a gigantic volcanic eruption which has left the soil immensely fertile. The peak of the volcano, Mt. Uluqalau, is more than 4000 feet above the sea and the ridges and spurs march down to the sea covered in a magnificent rain forest which gives way on the lower slopes and the coastal fringe to coconut plantations except for a stretch on the south eastern side where cliff faces plunge into the ocean. The island is host to most of Fiji's native bird species and to the unique Tagimaucia flower. Taveuni is Fiji's third largest island, separated by a narrow strait from Vanua Levu, but enclosing within its reef the islands of Qamea, Laucala and Mantagi.
