Description
Ride, Hike, Snorkel, Swim and spend time with the most openly friendly people on earth. Come and explore the real Fiji with us!
The Fiji Islands are very much defined by the vastness of the South Pacific Ocean which for a long time have provided both isolation and protection. Made up of 332 volcanic islands, 110 of which are permanently inhabited Fiji is most famous as a tropical resort holiday destination. But beyond the friendly faces in the upmarket resorts is a land of big hearted, laid back and genuinely welcoming people. With deep traditional values both the Fijian and Indo-Fijian culture is alive and kicking.
Picture subsistence villages, rain-forested mountains and quiet roads winding around a coastline of an unbelievably clear blue ocean edged with swaying coconut palms. This is the Fiji we are heading for.
‘Vanua ni Sega na Leqa’ takes us to two of Fiji's main islands, starting in Vanua Levu for six days of cycling across the island and on to Taveuni, aptly named the Garden Island.
