Savuavu town questions

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Hi,

We are visiting Savusavu on 13 Feb on via a P&O cruise ship. That day is my wife's 40th birthday, so we like to find something interesting to do (we also have kids 7&8y.o.)

a few questions...

  • How close does the cruise ship (Pacific Dawn) dock to town (walkable in hot weather with 2 fit kids)?

  • My 2000 L.P. has a "government wharf" is this where the cruise ship docks?

  • Has anyone done the morning pearl farm tour? What did you think?

  • where in town is the pearl farm office (in relation to where the cruise ship docks or the MH supermarket/customs house/planters house)?

  • Any local problem with the recent flooding?

  • Other suggestions

Thanks in advance.
