Rotuma

Small islets lie offshore of the small and remote island of Rotuma. Villages are scattered along the coast, with agriculture and lush forests spread inland. A seemingly endless array of produce grows here: yams, mango, papaya, bananas , taro and more. The coral reefs are untouched and pure, and the waters teem with wildlife like dolphins, parrot fish and hawk's bill turtles. The smaller neighboring islands of Hofliua, Hata and Uea are home to many seabird species; Hofliua is unique geologically due to the natural fissure running down the middle of it. With regulations on the number of tourists permitted on Rotuma, once there, it is a serene escape from the outside world.
