Description:
This trip captures the magic of these exotic South Pacific islands. From the welcoming ceremonies of each village host to the environmental and community service projects, participants are treated to sun-filled days reminiscent of another time. Traditional Fijian hospitality is unsurpassed. The group shares in constructing "bures."
Highlights:
The Fijian people are the world's most hospitable people, they redefine the concept of sharing. We feel the 20th Century is influencing these ancient peoples, thus, we are working with local communities trying to influence the healthy development of eco-tourism as an alternative to large corporate development.
