If your love is surfing or body boarding, the islands of Tavarua and Namotu are 8-10 minutes by boat. Certain breaks are always open to be surfed. You can either charter your own speedboat or there are two local operators on Malolo Island that will pick you up at the bottom of the stairs at Villa Malolo, just let the Sports Bure know at Musket Cove Marina and they will book your pick up – every morning if you like – the operators will give you a good deal, usually about $F 40-50 for 3 hours – its good value. Or you can surf for 1 hour and snorkel on the way back or stop for a lunch somewhere.
