Overview
Fiji's Mamanuca Islands sit in the path of powerful south swells tracking up from the Southern Ocean, producing world-class surf at Cloudbreak, Restaurants, and Frigates. Cloudbreak in particular is a left-hand reef of extraordinary power and length — a benchmark wave on the world surfing circuit. Between sessions, the surrounding islands offer overwater bures, pristine coral reefs for snorkelling and diving, and some of the warmest water in the Pacific. Meridian charters a private island resort or liveaboard positioned directly in front of the break.
