Fiji Islands
Discover the beauty of the landscape and the joy of the people as you explore Fiji!
The Fiji Islands are known as home to some of the most friendly and hospitable people on the planet. There are many beautiful islands, but it is the people who make Fiji a true paradise in the Pacific. We share in the communal life of two small villages that hold the deep belief that family and friends are the most important things in life. Upon our arrival in each village we participate in a formal "sevu sevu", a traditional welcoming ceremony, during which we present the chief with gifts and are accepted into each community as guests. As we immerse ourselves into the villages that exist without cars or stores, we gain a deeper understanding of the simple Fijian way of life.
