About Dravuni
Dravuni is a small coral island in Fiji’s Kadavu Province located on the outer edge of the Great Astrolabe Reef. The island is small, inhabited by a single traditional village, and is known for easy access to nearby dive and snorkel sites.
Visitors to the island typically come for reef-based activities and cultural visits to the local village; accommodation is limited and often community-run or provided by small lodges. The surrounding reef supports abundant marine life and clear water popular with divers.
The island is occupied by a local Fijian community and has long-standing customary connections to nearby larger islands in Kadavu Province. Its contemporary use combines subsistence village life with small-scale tourism focused on diving.
Dravuni lies off the southern coast of Kadavu Island in Fiji, within the Kadavu island group and the broader Fiji island chain.
- Reef access: Sits on or adjacent to the Great Astrolabe Reef, one of Fiji’s premier coral-reef systems, and is a common base for snorkeling and scuba diving trips.
