Sailing 70 miles upwind in rain and fog, we’re chasing a rare weather window to reach one of Fiji’s most remote gems—Vanua Balavu, the Northern Lau. 

We’re sailing east against the trade winds, trying to make our way back to the crown jewel of Fiji, the Lau Islands.  A light wind period is allowing us to day hop this tricky route from Naviti to Taveuni, where captivating coral reefs rise from the depths like crystalline daggers— a hidden danger stunning in their beauty, yet poised to cut through the unwary hull of any passing boat. 

Most people dream of discovering unspoiled paradises, but they never get the chance to see the world beyond the tourist maps. We’re exploring the true heart of Fiji—its people, traditions, and untouched natural beauty by boat.
