Things to do at Uepi - Our 5 favourite on-island activities
As one of the world’s most well recognised underwater destinations for Scuba Diving and Snorkelling, it’s pretty easy to spend just about all day in, or under the water here at Uepi.
That said, if you’re just looking to enjoy some terrestrial activities, stay on land, and enjoy what our beautiful big-piece-of-coral-sticking-out-of-the-water has to offer, you’re well and truly in the right place.
Here are 5 of our guests’ favourite things to do on the island, when they’re not in the water:
1.Chilling on your Beachfront Balcony
First and foremost, we really need to bring up what might be the most sought after activity for thrill seekers and underwater fanatics…
Sometimes, there’s absolutely nothing better than hanging in your hammock, reading a book and enjoying the sounds of Uepi – especially if you’re 10 steps from the water’s edge, you’ve seen a family of manta rays on your morning snorkel and you’re about to have lunch brought to your room.
2.Walking
Despite only being around 1.5km in length, Uepi has some incredible opportunities to enjoy virgin island rainforest beauty. Because the tracks can be treacherous, we only offer guided walks, but what’s better than being shown the way by someone who knows the place like the back of their hand?
Not to mention, we have three scenic lookout spots perched on the northern side of the island, overlooking the vastness of the New Georgia Sound.
And who knows, on your travels, you might come across a coconut crab or two, some (harmless) snakes, or even a monitor lizard.
3.Birdwatching
From wee little willy wagtails, to parrots and inquisitive swampies, all the way up to the magnificent hornbill, we’re pretty lucky to have some of the most spectacular birdlife right in front of us on the island.
And what’s more, a lot of the time, you don’t even have to go far, or anywhere – with the birds on view flying between the suites.
4.Some Movement – Pilates & Yoga
Throughout Uepi’s long and storied life as a resort, we’ve had some phases of exercise and sporting based spaces, from soccer and volleyball, to table tennis and basketball.
And who knows, maybe one day they’ll be back. But for the moment, it's mindful movement that leads the way on the island. Whether it’s a downloaded Youtube video of our very own retreat instructor, Jordyn’s Holiday Pilates workouts on your private balcony, or a DIY workout on the beach, the world is your oyster.

5.A Sunset Drink at the Bar
Serving up the finest local brews, from island mojitos, to the globally-adored Solbrew beer, our brand new bar has the best seat in the house when it comes to watching the sunset.
And rightly so, because it’s literally positioned on our very own Sunset Point.
Whether it’s some movement, or a relaxing day of precisely nothing, there’s something for everyone and every mood.
