Note

Please note: This tour involves a minimal amount of walking for approximately 110 yards (about 100 meters), at times over unpaved walkways and some small inclines with few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach. This tour is suitable for guests with limited mobility but not to guests bound to a wheelchair. Guests are advised to wear lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes, and bring sun protection, bottled water and credit cards or local currency for purchases from the ship. Guests should adhere to the village protocol, women must cover their shoulders and knees, hats are not allowed to be worn inside the village. The tour sequence may vary. Fiji is a low-income country with very basic infrastructure, and vastly different to the western culture mentality. Local conditions may be challenging; therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Coaches, guides, hotels, restaurants, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. We thank you for your understanding.
