The Great White Wall is one of those sites where timing is everything. Reviews range from ‘stunning' to ‘disappointing' since a lot depends on the extent of current. When you hit it just right it can be an amazing and unique experience, and the jewel in Taveuni's crown.
Beginning in a tunnel-like cave, you will cruise over colorful sponges and crinoids, past resident moray eels and lionfish lurking in the sheltered spots. Leaving the cave is like being spat out of a water slide, as you emerge into the blue exiting a hole in a sheer wall. The wall is also unlike any other. It is covered in soft corals, 95% of which is a bluely-whiteness. When the corals are in full bloom the effect is extraordinary.

The area is known as the ‘soft coral capital of the world’ and as we know, it is gravely under threat from climate change and the environmental changes in the waters that come with that.
