Cobia

Also known as Thombia Island, the crescent moon-shaped Cobia Island in Fiji is part of the Ringgold Isles archipelago. The arched entrance to Cobia island is lined with trees, and the island is teeming with biodiversity on land and underwater. Cobia Island is part of the Budd Reef and has a submerged volcanic crater with its highest elevation on the west side of the island. Considered a “conspicuous landmark” for seafarers at least as far back as 1899, this tropical island embodies a unique combination of wooded areas, tropical vistas and diverse sea life popular for kayakers, snorkelers and scuba divers. The island is an important component of Fiji’s Biodiversity and Action Plan due to its unique geological formations and beach forests.
