Location - about Fiji

Only 15 minutes’ flight north of the busy streets of Nadi Town in the Fiji Islands, you’ll find a truly intimate experience.

Vomo Island Resort is a secluded paradise nestled just below Fiji’s popular Yasawa Group of islands. It’s an uncrowded place of simplicity and relaxation.

More than anything else, Fiji is an exotic destination. It's the exhilaration of a dolphin arching high into the air beside your boat; thes long gliding swoop of an orange dove through the rainforest; the smiles of excited children performing in unison to the beat of a hollow log drum.

Their 333 islands can sizzle with excitement or murmur with the quiet calm of pristine nature. Where else can you swim with huge, harmless manta rays congregating by the shore, snorkel over giant rainbow gardens of soft coral, or scuba dive the White Wall and famous Astrolabe Reef. Fiji is where the Cloud Breaker, the incredible six-metre wave found offshore at Tavarua, draws surfers from around the world. It is also where you can float in the calm, quiet waters of a turquoise lagoon at sunset or walk alone through lush rainforest. It is where the sun shines almost everyday and when it does rain, people rush outside for a rainbath in the warm, brief downpour of a tropical shower which ends as quickly as it began. This is where life is lived for the joy of it all, where rushing is rude, and the name of a new friend is never forgotten.

Fiji is where people wear flowers tucked in their hair, not to impress visitors, but because they like to.

The Fiji archipelago is at the cross roads of the South Pacific. In the days of sailing ships it was known as The Cannibal Isles and carefully avoided by mariners because of its fierce warriors and treacherous waters. However, in the age of jumbo jets and global travel. Fiji has become the central hub of the exotic South Pacific. More than 85 flights land at Nadi on the main island of Viti levu every week. From there it is only a quick fifteen minute hop to the idyllic white-sand beaches and crystal clear waters as warm as the welcome you will recieve at Vomo Island Resort.

Only 15 minutes' flight and just over a scenic hour by sea from the busy streets of Nadi, Vomo Island Resort awaits. Vomo is a tropical oasis for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city-life and appreciate an unsurpassed level of excellence and unmatched serenity.

Turtles

Vomo’s original name was VONU, which in the Fijian language means “turtle” therefore Vomo was always recognized and acknowledged as being the breeding ground for hawksbill turtles.

Hawksbill turtles (taku) are commonly observed on coral reefs where they feed on sponges, seagrass, ascidians and soft corals. A thousand hawksbills are thought to nest in the Pacific Ocean which includes a Fiji breeding population of approximately 120-150.

The estimated numbers of adult hawksbill turtles for Fiji is estimated at 2-3,000. However, harvest for hawksbills has been high in recent years. Approximately 30,000 shells were exported during the 1980s with some 2,000kg of shell exported in 1989 alone.

The main threats to Fiji’s sea turtle populations are from traditional harvesting of adults for ceremonial purposes, subsistence and commercial harvesting of adults, their eggs and shell, and mortality in commercial fishing nets.

The survival rate of the hawksbill turtles currently runs at about 3% and at Vomo we are hoping to increase this to 10% by breeding them in captivity until they grow sufficiently in size where their shells are hard enough to protect them from many of their natural predators.

The current turtles on Vomo Island hatched on the 10th May 2005. The original batch was 123 of which 3 were lost to natural causes in the first few weeks.
