KAYAK TO THE BLUE HOLES
Turtle Bay Lodge has double and single Kayaks available for both guests and visitors to the resort. Kayaks and stand up paddleboards are free to in house guests when using around the resort and in the bay.
There is a hire fee for the Kayaks if you take them out of the bay or to go up the river to the blue holes.
Matevulu Blue Hole is nearest to Turtle Bay Lodge and has a spectacular rope swing accessed by a ladder up an enormous banyan tree. This is a must do adventure from Turtle Bay Lodge. It’s only a 50 minute paddle from the lodge and it is like nowhere else in the world!
First cross Peterson Bay, then make your way up the stunning Matevulu River, where the water is so clear you can see right to the bottom. Feel yourself suspended as if by magic, as fish swim below.
When you reach the blue hole at the end of the river it is a sight to behold.
Ri Ri Blue Hole is a little further south of Matevulu Blue Hole. You can also kayak to this one but you’ll spend more time on Peterson Bay and less time in the river as it’s a much shorter river. Some days the bay is glassy but on other days the wind can make it a tougher trip!
The owners also offer a custom experience where you can travel up the river in a dugout canoe – you’ll see the canoes stored near the bridge as you pass on your way to Turtle Bay Lodge.
