If you have not seen a two headed coconut, then you definitely need to visit Rotuma.

The only tree of such kind on the volcanic island, it has been marked as a ‘go to place’ for visitors in Losa Village.

It takes about 20 minutes to reach the place when travelling by vehicle from Ahau Government Station.

Vuadreu Morrison, a Ministry of Health and Medical Services worker in Rotuma takes visitors there when they visit the island.

He said the place was one of a kind and its formation was still a mystery.

What Makes This Coconut Tree So Distinctive?

It’s so rare that people always want to come here every time they visit.

This is one of the places we visit a lot during our wellness every Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are always mesmerised.
