Fiji Family Discovery (South Pacific)
Where Happiness Feels Endless

Ready to trade the ordinary for the extraordinary?

Come and discover the land of happiness! The beauty of Fiji’s landscape draws you in but the real beauty is uncovered in the Fijian people and their culture. Live with the locals and experience the Fijian way of life: the food, the adventure, the unmatched hospitality and laughter.  Be transformed by the welcome of a Fijian village, and in awe as you become a part of a community that shares their culture and land with you in a way that a resort or hotel cannot. Step away from the ordinary, choose the adventure off the beaten track, and immerse your family in the vibrant heart of Fiji. 

Fireside Adventures and our Fijian Partner Nanumi Au (this expedition’s homebase and Eco-village) are thrilled to invite you and your family to slow down and find true happiness in the rich culture and tropical beauty of the Fijian islands, where you don’t just visit Fiji, it becomes a part of you.
