Monuriki, Volcanic island in Mamanuca archipelago, Fiji
The volcanic terrain of Monuriki extends 1.15 kilometers in length with white sand beaches, lagoons, palm trees, and pine forest covering its surface.
Captain William Bligh first documented this island during his 1789 open-boat journey through Fiji waters after the HMS Bounty mutiny.
The local community from Yanuya village maintains traditional custodianship of Monuriki, with the Mataqali Navunaivi group overseeing conservation efforts.
Visitors can only access Monuriki through organized day tours as the island remains uninhabited and lacks overnight accommodation facilities.
The island serves as a critical habitat for the Fiji crested iguana, which exists naturally on only three islands in western Fiji.
