    This 14-day getaway is for those who love to discover a culture through the local cuisine and, of course, try fabulous food.

    Known for its clear waters and pristine white beaches, Fiji is truly one of the most beautiful island paradises on Earth. However, many people don’t pay much attention to the food, and that’s a shame. Fiji happens to have one of the most diverse and fascinating island cuisines in the Pacific. From the mainland of Viti Levu to nature’s garden of Taveuni to the multi-cultural Vanua Levu, you'll experience it all with this which itinerary takes you all over Fiji exploring the country's largest islands and immersing yourself in food-related experiences.

    FAQ: Single, twin-share and more

    What is twin-share, triple-share and quad-share?

    The share-basis is about accommodation pricing. It does not mean that you share a room with a stranger.

    "Twin-share" is where two people occupy a hotel room (open-plan style) or other accommodation such as an apartment, usually a couple or two friends. This is the normal way accommodation is priced. The price is shared between two people. Most accommodation properties (eg. hotels) offer rooms with king, queen or double beds. Most offer the option of "twin" beds as well which actually means two single beds to accommodate singles sharing, couples wanting space and so-on.

    "Triple share" is where three people occupy the accommodation and share the price. "Quad-share" is where four people occupy the accommodation and share the price. Family apartments and hotel rooms usually include a king, queen or double bed and one or more single beds to handle triple and quad-share arrangements. Sometimes other bedding configurations are available as well.

    What is a seasonal adjustment?

    Some accommodation providers, especially in very popular holiday locations, have higher room rates for busy holiday periods (usually spring and summer holidays). We must make an allowance for those price variations if applicable.

    What is a single supplement?

    A "single supplement" applies to single travellers who want a room to themselves. Because the price is not shared, a "single supplement" applies. This additional amount is based on the single covering the entire accommodation component of the trip that would normally be split between two or more people.

    TAVEUNI - VANUA LEVU - SAVUSAVU (2 NIGHTS)

    Located just over 60 km northeast of Viti Levu, Vanua Levu is the second largest island in Fiji despite being little more than half the size of Viti Levu. Although a beautiful holiday destination that boasts stunning accommodation and attractions, Vanua Levu remains relatively untouched by modern tourism and commercial development. As such, Vanua Levu presents the perfect opportunity to experience ancient local culture and traditions in practice.

    About today:

    Gorgeous Savusavu welcomes you

    Your next island paradise awaits!

    From the Garden Island to Fiji’s second-largest island, it’s time to do a bit more island-hopping. Cross over from Taveuni to Vanua Levu by taking the ferry from Korean Wharf to Buca Bay on the Taveuni Princess. Once on the other side, a bus transfer takes you to one of the main hubs of Vanua Levu - Savusavu. The picturesque waterfront town has hot springs where locals demonstrate how they use them to cook food, as well as the town having pleasant eateries to enjoy. After you’ve had a look around, check-in to your accommodation and relax.

    SAVUSAVU

    About today:

    Meet friendly Savusavu locals

    Lovo feasts, private beach picnics, cooking classes, and more await

    Much like Taveuni, many of the resorts source their produce from their own gardens, as well as fish from the surrounding waters. Needless to say, this results in fresh and flavourful cuisine, which is presented in international and local ways. If there’s a foodie activity that you’ve missed on the itinerary so far, chances are, the resorts on Vanua Levu will have them on the table. Lovo feasts, private beach picnics, cooking classes, markets, kava ceremonies, medicine walks and even mud-crabbing experiences are all available here.

    General Tour Package FAQ's

    ≡

    What options or assistance is available for groups to run their own tours.

    All tours can be operated on a "Group-guided" basis. A complete "Tour Manager Notes & Guide" manual is supplied to the group leader (trip organizer). Included is a comprehensive daily itinerary, driver instructions and information about each part of your tour to enable you to provide entertaining commentary. Also included are checklists and reminders about daily tasks. The end-result is easy-flowing trip organisation, fewer issues and very happy tour participants. Overall it means less stress and a lot more fun for everyone.

    If we are traveling as a group on an exclusive charter, will there be a tour manager or leader?

    If a tour director is supplied in an example tour package it will be shown as an inclusion. But this is very flexible and if not included as standard, can be arranged if preferred. If you are part of a social group such as Probus, the trip organiser will often enjoy taking on this role. We provide comprehensive information and guidance for "hands-on" trip organisers. This includes a "how-to" guide and starter information about the places visited on the tour.

    Can a tour be tailored to what our group is interested in?

    Yes, definitely. All charter tour packages are simply "templates" as a starting point for customising a tour to suit. We then we apply the discounts available to you, your club or corporate group.

    Will I be joining an existing shared tour or will this be exclusively for our group?

    All tour packages are flexible. Various options are already published. (See the Pricing section for the tour you are interested in.) "Join departure" tour types are tours where you can join a tour group leaving on various departure dates. This suit couples and singles. If you represent a club or other group, please click the "Enquiry" button to request pricing for an exclusive charter to suit your group.

    Are all listed activities included in the advertised tour packages or are they extra? Is there any more to pay?

    See a list of standard inclusions on the package details page. Some packages have two or three different package classes with different inclusions. Select the optional package class to see included activities. Optional activities are shown separately. Your travel consultant will discuss optional activities with you so you can decide what to include or leave out of your itinerary. You can also swap and change activities. A price variance might apply.

    What is the difference between "Self-guided", "Group-guided" and "Fully-guided" tours?

    "Self-guided" (self-drive) is a trip designed for singles, couples and groups of up to 8 people (such as two to four couples) traveling together using a single car or 7 to 12-seater van depending on group size. It means that you drive yourself on the trip. "Group-guided" means the tour is for a larger group on a bus with a professional driver and the group leader (trip organizer) as tour director. A professional tour director can be supplied if required. A "fully-guided" bus tour is operated by a driver-guide or tour director. There are usually preset departures that you can join. Fully-guided tours can also be arranged exclusively for a group and this is called a "group charter".

    Can I specify the type of accommodation I want?

    We will recommend accommodation to meet your preferences. All accommodation is selected using our exclusive hotel rating system. You can then change the accommodation if preferred. Often you will also have a choice of accommodation types at the recommended accommodation properties. We'll find out your preferences in the early stages of planning your trip.
