Adventure touring
There are many wonderful ways to discover
Fiji and one of them is to go on an
adventure tour. If you’re into backpacking,
you’ll find a variety of sightseeing packages
to choose from. If you prefer to travel in
comfort, there are many packages to suit
your needs. Either way you’ll have a holiday
full of cultural experiences, not to mention
sun, sea and sand.
S.V. Spirit of the Pacific
A beautiful 33-metre square-rigged top sail schooner with
the capacity to hold up to 40 passengers.
Drawaqa Barefoot Lodge
Drawaqa is a palm-fringed atoll nestled at the southern
end of the Yasawa Islands. The lodge offers stunning
coral gardens right off the beach, where you can snorkel,
kayak and swim with graceful manta rays.
There are just 20 bures, accommodating a maximum of
40 guests. Built and thatched in traditional style by local
villagers, the accommodation is traditional, rustic and
absolute waterfront with communal showers and toilets,
and no electricity in bures.
Our View: Fun-filled days on board an authentic
tall ship. For adventurous types - rustic island
bures.
Safari Lodge
T
A great opportunity to enjoy soft eco-tourism and a
cultural experience on an active but relaxing adventure.
You’ll enjoy kayaking in peaceful tropical waters,
snorkelling and Fijian village welcomes for a different and
exciting view of Fiji. The distances covered each day are
not great so if you have never sea-kayaked before, this is
the perfect introduction. These tours operate from
Rakiraki on the Sun Coast of Fiji where you can escape
from the tourist destinations.
Accommodation and meals
Safari Lodge Fiji accommodation on tour is in traditional
Fijian bures, or if you prefer tent accommodation.
Mattresses and linen are supplied, but you should bring
your sleeping bag. Meals are prepared and transported
daily by the Ellington Wharf Restaurant.
NOTE: Kite-surfing and wind-surfing packages also available on application.
