Rotuma Island Travel
Guide



use map to navigate
Rotuma is so isolated that it becomes expensive to get to for those on a tight budget. However, if you do make it there you will never forget the place. Tourism is virtually non-existent so it's not a place to go if you're looking to meet fellow travellers. If you want to meet the local people and experience life and culture on a small South Pacific island, then Rotuma's the place to go. The Polynesian lifestyle on Rotuma is very different from the Melanesian culture throughout Fiji. Here, life is so laid back that you probably won't want to leave - it happened to me! Be warned that provisions are basic and sometimes run out, there is no official accommodation and infrequent shipping services can be full at Christmas or cancelled at the last minute.

Cargo boats d
epart about once a month for Rotuma but service is irregular. Boats are always full at Christmas. Takes 2 days. You can fly to Rotuma although you need to charter a plane which is very expensive (or join up with a group of Rotumans who have done so). Takes about 3 hours. Schedule flights have operated in the past but at present (July 2002) there are no regular flights.
