And Taveuni is the third largest island, but it's quite a lot smaller than the first two. And it's known as the Garden Island. Because it's very green and lush.
John G. Crane
So between Taveuni and Vanua Levu, the second largest island, is the Rainbow Reef. And this is known as the soft coral capital of the world.
