At Navini, your time is your own. A major decision is whether to snorkel around Navini's reef, join the complimentary morning outing which may be to the local village, trolling or dropline fishing over one of the neighbouring reefs, snorkelling around bombies and over bright coral walls, visiting other island resorts, or joining an occasional shopping trip to Nadi town.
| From the Island, you can explore the coral reef sanctuary, take out the hobie-cat sailboat, borrow snorkelling gear to watch the colourful fish, try the sailboard, spyboard, kayaks, or the seacycles. All complimentary.. |

The afternoon volleyball game is an option. So is lying under a thatched umbrella reading a book from the resort library, or for a really relaxing experience, enjoy a Fijian style massage. |
There is no swimming pool on Navini. We offer instead a beautiful, refreshing, calm and much more interesting sea, just a few steps away.
There is, however, the
opportunity to go Scuba diving, para sailing, or sports fishing; the only
activities for which you'll pay a modest fee.

Low key is probably the phrase. The soft harmonies of the staff singers and guitars in the evening, with coconut shells ('bilos') of the traditional drink, kava, while the vidi vidi (say 'vindy vindy') board gets a workout; laughter and conversation are the staples. |
| About once a week, Navini has a Fijian night with a big 'lovo' dinner taken steaming from the underground oven, or a traditional meke performance by the staff, which tells old and new stories in song. |
| The night's kava ceremony gives way to Fijian singing by the staff, and then to a session of laughter and all-join-in dancing of what is known traditionally as a 'tara-la-la'. |

Some evenings everybody gathers around a beach bonfire shooting sparks at the millions of stars in unpolluted skies and roasting coconuts on the fire. |

Navini's open air dining room takes advantage of the surroundings; tropical gardens, blue waters, sunset-tinted clouds. Lively conversation is punctuated by waves lapping a few metres away on the sand. Navini offers a tantalising selection of innovative, traditional and Fijian dishes, with choices at all meals. Dinner includes appetizer, soup, a variety of main courses including vegetarian, and desserts. Fresh fish and tropical fruits are always there, but never the only alternative. Everything the Navini kitchen serves is prepared there, from fresh baked breads to home made ice creams. The dining room is fully licensed, with a wide selection of cocktails, good Fijian beer and a broad selection of wines. Private candlelight - and starlight - dinners can be set up at a flower-laden table for two, on the beach in front of your bure. |
