Savusavu Airport (SVU) receives domestic flights from Nadi and Nausori and is about 3 km from town. There are boats from Suva and Taveuni, and buses from Labasa in northern Vanua Levu.
How many days
Two or three days, to visit the bay, the hot springs, the Waisali reserve and for a dive or snorkel in Namena.
When to go
From May to October the days are usually drier and cooler. From November to April there is more rain and a cyclone risk; Savusavu Bay is used as a shelter by yachts during that period.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
Not for the town center, which is walkable. For Waisali and other sites, take a taxi or a guided trip with a driver.
