Fiji Explorer

Itinerary

Day 1 Nadi

The gateway to this Fijian exploration is a bustling island city that conceals pockets of calm within the chaos. Saunter through orchid gardens at the foothills of the Sobeto Mountain Range, or discover tranquillity at the Sri Siva Subramaniya temple.

Days 2-3 Namatakula

After a market tour in the fertile Sigatoka Valley, be welcomed into village life the traditional way with an evening 'sevu sevu' ceremony in the village of Namatakula. After an offering of kava - a brew derived from a root crop - dance and sing with the locals in their community hall. Feast on an authentic 'lovo' meal of vegetables and meat wrapped in banana leaves and roasted in an underground oven, islander-style.

Day 4 Suva

Fiji's capital is a beautiful harbour city perched on a hilly peninsula, with a fascinating blend of ethnic communities. Immerse yourself in Suva's cosmopolitan flavour while strolling past colonial architecture set between modern buildings. Mingle in cafes with students from the University of the South Pacific, visit the National Museum and Botanic Gardens or take in a Bollywood flick. Escape the hustle and bustle in Colo i Suva Forest Park, where trails wind through lush forests to hidden waterfalls and swimming holes.

Day 5 Nadi

Catch a glimpse of everyday Fijian lifestyles, passing through villages, farms and roadstalls en route back to Nadi. In town, there is a chance to stock up on souvenirs or enjoy the local nightlife.

Days 6-8 Yasawa Islands/Nadi

The essential South Pacific experience is waiting in this archipelago of volcanic islands fringed by white sandy beaches and turquoise waters teeming with tropical delights. Swim, snorkel, visit a local village or simply while away the hours in your very own slice of paradise.
