Toberua Island is part of the Lomaiviti Group of islands which are located off the eastern coast of Viti Levu, the largest island of the Fijian archipelago. Toberua Island is a tiny south-sea island paradise and lies approximately 10 kilometres off the coast, and is reached via a 30 minute boat trip from Nakelo Landing, along the Navaloa River and across the Bau Waters. This low-lying coral island covers approximately 1.5 hectares and is home to the Toberua Island Resort which accommodates visitors in 15 traditional bures (Fijian huts) that are surrounded by lush tropical gardens and shaded by swaying palm trees. The island is privately owned and provides visitors with all of the amenities of home, a salt-water swimming pool, spa, golden sandy beaches, a low tide golf course, fishing, sailing, superb snorkelling and scuba diving, or the opportunity of just lazing under a palm tree to listen to the gentle lapping of the crystal clear tropical waters.
In typical Fijian fashion the weather is generally warm through the winter months and hot and humid during the summer. The summer months, December to March, are also referred to as the wet season although the western areas of Fiji are generally drier than the eastern parts.
