If you plan to stay in one of
the many resorts on the Coral Coast why not consider a DAY TOUR in a Fijian village. Sake and Tupou can arrange to
pick you up from your resort. This way you can have the resort
vacation and also real local experience at the same time.
Visiting a village helps the village community as
part of the rate goes directly back to the village to help fund
the village upkeep.
The Coral Coast
is Fiji's most well-known popular destinations and commences after
about an hour's drive along the Queens Highway from the Nadi
International Airport. The highway follows the coast southward
providing one of Fiji's prettiest coastal drives for about 35
kilometers with stunning views of the many bays, beaches, villages
and the fringing coral reef that gives the region its name.
Your Fijian hosts Sake & Tupou offer a DAY TOUR in a Fijian village. The village is called Namatakula and is a 2hrs drive from Nadi International Airport.
It is half way between Nadi and Suva.
Experience the real Fiji. Experience a pleasant serene
environment, away from Fiji's "mass tourism". When you visit Fiji
there is nothing wrong with spending time in a resort but why not
also spend part of your time in Fiji at real Fijian village and see for yourself
how the Fijian people live.
Things
to do while staying at Danny's
#1 thing, relax and
unwind, you can do as much or as little as you like.
Snorkeling, Fishing, Visit the local school, Sunday church
service, Helping out in the village gardens, Helping in the
kitchen, etc the more you
involve yourself with the people of the village the more you will
know what is going on. The people of the village are very friendly
and are more than happy to stop and have a chat.
Sake is able to guide you around the gardens and plantation to
show you the different kinds of plants that the Fijians use for
medicines for all kinds of sicknesses.
Tupou can tell you about the local customs and traditional stories of the
area, like the local story of the Red Prawns of Vatulele. The
story tells how they came to be, how they got to the Island of
Vatulele.
The snorkeling off
the beach is FANTASTIC but if you wish to snorkel, you will need
to bring your own snorkeling gear. For a small charge you can you
can get one of the villagers to accompany you snorkeling to make
sure you see the best part of the bay. Make sure you ask them to
show you the Giant Clams in the bay.
