"A beautiful and idyllic island, surpassed only by the beauty of the Fijian people."
Stephen and Lucy, London, 1998

OUR STAFF - THE FIJIAN PEOPLE
We will remember your name. We will welcome you into our lives. We will teach you our songs. We will show you our gentle ways. We will laugh together. And you will know why many call us the planet's guardians of joy.  Unchanged and unaffected by modern technology, Fijians are taught from an early age that family and friends are the most important things in life.  They will spoil you with their hospitality or, if you prefer, leave you to savor your solitude.

THE FIJIAN CULTURE

From this warm and ancient culture comes a new sense of community and a nurturing, teaching, fun loving staff with a great South Pacific sense of humor.  You'll find them eager to share their musical heritage, explain the sea life and coral, demonstrate the medicinal uses of trees and plants found in the forest, teach you to windsurf or take you fishing.  The Fijian culture is filled with a wealth of colorful ceremonies, rituals and beliefs. In a traditional village house, fire is considered a symbol of life. A fire in the hearth smokes out mosquitoes, adds warmth, cooks food and drives the evil spirits away.

OUR LIVING CULTURE The Fijian culture is very much alive and well here on Turtle Island, and when you come here, you live and play alongside us. Food is at the core of our daily activities. We hunt, fish and gather fruits and vegetables. No ceremony is complete without the presentation of food.
