Floating in the South Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of Viti Levu, lies Monuriki Island, affectionately dubbed "Cast Away Island" for its starring role in the eponymous film.

But it's more than just a coastal idyll. This island is a tapestry of lush greenery, a designated land reserve teeming with unique flora and fauna. Within its vibrant ecosystem, the endemic and critically endangered Fiji crested iguana finds its home alongside over 2,000 pairs of Wedge-tailed shearwaters.

Naukacuvu, also known as Agate Island, lies in Fiji's Yasawa archipelago and is located off the western coast of Viti Levu, Fiji's largest island. The island was named after Thomas Agate who was the designated portrait and botanical artist for the United States Exploring Expedition of 1838–1842.
There is a small light on Agate Island, just inside the harbour, to guide mariners between the islands and into the harbour, and a larger light on the tip of the peninsula forming the eastern side of the harbour to serve vessels sailing along the lake between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie.
Paradise Cover Resort is located on this island.
