Fiji · FIJIAN VILLAGE & CULTURE TOURS
24 reviewed
A village visit done properly starts with sevusevu, a bundle of kava handed to the chief, and ends with lunch out of the ground. Below are the culture tours that get the etiquette right: how many villages each one visits, whether a meke and a lovo are included, what to wear, and what you pay.

It was an amazing night, yes the bus ride pick up from double tree was an hour and a half but that's because it's the bus picks up two stops along the way there and the speed limits of the roads is 80kmh, but wow once on the island for the dinner and show the effort and passion all of the Fijian people put into it is amazing, wait until you meet Samson one of the younger fellas, his passion and pride in the Fijian way and culture is amazing”
