Avarua Passage
★★★★☆
(84)
Starting off from Edna’s Anchor mooring and following the sand/ reef edge towards shore. The sandy passage leads all the way into Avarua Harbour.
The site has interesting coral formations and healthy fish life. A good place for scorpion fish, moray eels and flounders. This is also a parrotfish mating site.
