Fiji Luxury Honeymoon

Itinerary

• Fiji

  Fiji is an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean east of Vanuatu, west of Tonga and south of Tuvalu. The country occupies an archipelago of about 322 islands, of which 106 are permanently inhabited, and 522 islets. The two major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, account for 87% of the population. Fiji's culture is a rich mosaic of indigenous, Indian, Chinese and European traditions, comprising social polity, language, food (based mainly from the sea, casava, dalo & other vegetables), costume, belief systems, architecture, arts, craft, music, dance and sports. The indigenous culture is very much active and living, and is a part of everyday life for the majority of the population. Tourism is a major component of the economy and the country boasts excellent island beaches, along with a fascinating cultural depth.

• Mamanuca Islands

  The Mamanuca group of islands is located just a few kilometers off the western side of Fiji's main island of Viti Levu. It is one of Fiji's most popular resort destinations with a number of beautiful islands and reefs. With names such as Treasure Island, Beachcomber Island, Tokoriki and Vomo to name a few, these islands evoke palm tree fringed beaches and pristine blue lagoons. The Mamanuca Islands are a perfect place to experience a tropical paradise in the South Pacific.

• Nadi

  Nadi is located on the western side of the main island of Viti Levu, Fiji. Along with sugar cane production, tourism is a mainstay of the local economy. With its large Indo-Fijian population, Nadi is a centre for Hinduism and Islam in Fiji. The downtown area is defined by the Nadi River and Viseisei village on the west side, and the beautiful Sri Siva Subramaniya temple on the east. It is the largest Hindu temple in the Southern hemisphere, and is a site for pilgrims. Muslims worship at the Nadi Mosque and the Ahmadiya Mosque.

• • Nadi
  • Fiji Orchids

  Day 1: Nadi

  Transfer from Nadi to Airport Hotel.

  Accommodation: Fiji Orchids

  The Fiji Orchid hotel is located 15 minutes drive north of Nadi International Airport and 10 minutes south of Lautoka. The setting is stunning — in a tropical environment in the foothills of the volcanic Nausori Highlands and close to Saweni Beach, one of Fiji's most beautiful stretches of sand and sea. The highlight, however, is the property's own surroundings — in five acres of tropical gardens that showcase an extraordinary number and variety of magnificent orchids. With only six villas, Fiji Orchid is very private and exclusive. The property incorporates a restaurant, bar and lounge area, a boutique and a large swimming pool.

• • Fijian “bobo” massage

  Day 2: Nadi

  This morning, you will be picked up from your hotel around 9am and driven up to the mountains known as the Garden of the Sleeping Giants. Along the way you will pass through several cane fields and valleys. Nestled at the foot of these mountains is the ancestral village of Nalesutale which is the first Christian village converted from cannibalism almost 200 years ago. Join the chief and his people in a traditional kava ceremony which will take place in a traditional Fijian House known as a Bure. You will then be given an opportunity to talk to the chief and take photos with the villagers of Nalesutale. Then take a guided trek through the rainforest to see the ancestral cave, learn about traditional medicine and swim in the cool, cascading waterfalls. Lunch will be served either at the waterfalls or the village. Lunch consists of BBQ fish, sausages with a side dish of rou-rou (spinach), local fresh vegetables, fruits and local juices. You will then have the option of horse riding, or joining the womenfolk of the village in mat weaving and other art and craft or fishing by the river. After this you will be whisked away to the Sabeto therapeutic warm mud pool for a therapeutic mud bath and Fijian “bobo” massage. You will return back to your hotel around 5:30pm.

  Likuliku Lagoon Resort is an oasis of sand and water on Fiji's Malolo Island. Each of the bures are designed to suit the tastes of even the most discerning traveler. Air conditioning, DVD players, music systems, and separate bathing pavilions are just a few of the perks offered in some of the bures. From deluxe, beachfront bures to over the water bures, the LikuLiku Lagoon Resort dazzles those who stay in these luxurious accommodations. Culinary explosions of the most popular Pacific spices and dishes allows for creative dining. Enjoy fusions of local delights and international staples in a romantic setting. Later, grab a cocktail at one of the bars with a wonderful view of the sun dipping below the lagoon.

• • Classic schooner

  Day 4: Mamanuca Islands

  Board the magnificent classic schooner Seaspray (of television fame) for a day exploring the crystal clear waters, beautiful beaches and lagoons of the Mamanuca Islands. This 83 foot schooner offers stable and comfortable sailing to maximise your onboard comfort and enjoyment. Help set the sails, take the helm or just laze around on deck. We anchor off Modriki where you can go ashore to explore this uninhabited island with magnificent beaches and snorkelling. On Yanuya we visit a traditional Fijian island village. You’ll be welcomed ashore with a Kava ceremony (except Sunday) then have the chance to explore the village and meet the locals. Passengers travel to and from Mana Island onboard a fast catamaran (where you transfer directly to Seaspray) so as to maximise the sailing time amongst the most beautiful island areas. There is nothing like a day at sea for a big appetite so we include morning and afternoon tea plus a delicious barbecue lunch. All your drinks are included as well with wine, beer, soft drinks, tea and coffee available throughout the day whilst on Seaspray.

  Day 5: Mamanuca Islands

  Enjoy time at leisure to explore at your own pace, or relax at your hotel.

  At Mamanuca you can decide to do nothing, and relax on one of the boundless hammocks, or underneath a palm tree or you can take part in some of the optional activities available. Enjoy snorkelling with beautiful coral reefs right in front of you, or jump on one of the many glass bottom boats and see the magnificent fish and coral below, try some night hand line fishing or big game fishing. Alternatively, parasailing, jetskiing and waterskiing are all readily available. This island has excellent children's activities making it great for families. Please ask your Sales Advisor about any of these tour options if you are interested.
