VINAKA FIJI VOLUNTEERING YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE The Yasawa Trust Foundation was established in 2010 to formalise and further the work and economic assistance provided by Awesome Adventures to the people of the Yasawa Islands Region. The name of the assistance programme “Vinaka Fiji” was chosen to reflect the two way nature of the relationship between those who operate and assist the Trust and the people of the Yasawas whose work it benefits. For the Founders of Awesome Adventures and those involved in the Trust this is their way of saying “Vinaka Fiji” or “thanks” to the people of the region for all the pleasure and enjoyment had there. $10 (FJD) of every Bula Pass and package booking (four nights or more) goes directly to the Foundation. Through the “Vinaka Fiji” programme the Trust aims to improve the provision of basic needs and amenities, often taken for granted in modern society, yet missing from village life in the Yasawas. It seeks to do this both through direct aid and by acting as a facilitator, bringing those who can help - companies, Government, Aid Agencies and individuals together with the landowners and residents. The key focus of “Vinaka Fiji”, in order of priority, will be on infrastructure and associated needs in the areas of: Marine Conservation Children and Schools Creating sustainable communities The Trust actively seeks additional funding for its projects from third party sources. It remains a key principle of the Trust that the majority of the funds raised will be spent on the cost of the specific projects. The Trust also encourages you the visitors to the Yasawas to participate in the Volunteer work programmes. It is a great way to become more involved in the island life of the Yasawas, to lend a helping hand to people in need and make a difference through your travel.
Join us as a Volunteer? See pages 31-33 for full details on how you can help LIVE MORE WORRY LESS MORE SMILES LESS STRESS Take an awesome adventure to where happiness finds you! RESORT ACCOMMODATION Awesome Adventures Fiji recognizes two different levels of accommodation in the Yasawa Islands to suit different travelling styles and budgets, from those happy with the bare essentials to those looking for more creature comforts. Through our own local grading system of 1 and 2 coconuts, you can personally select a style that suits you. COCONUT RATINGS
1 COCONUT BACKPACKER Dorms and bures If you need a hairdryer, these are not for you. Resorts are typically basic but on a beautiful beach. Usually there is no hot water but the local water supply is tepid. Bring your own towel, soap and other necessities. All these resorts are owned and run by Fijians who love hosting and sharing their lives with the guests. ALL 1 coconut properties include the meals so you know exactly what to budget. MEALS are included in the accommodation price and packages. Meals are simple and filling, rather than gourmet and are served at specific times of the day. e.g. breakfast 8am – 9am, providing an opportunity to meet fellow travellers.
2 COCONUT BACKPACKER TO FLASHPACKER Dorms, lodges and bures Generally more modern properties with a higher standard of accommodation and amenities than 1 Coconut properties but still with a strong Fijian flavour. Ownership and management of these properties is a mix of Fijian and European with Fijian staff. There’s aircon or fans during generator operating hours. Meals are generally more varied with more courses and of a higher standard. MEALS are not included in the accommodation price and packages. There is a compulsory Meal Package price to be paid directly to the Resort on check-in. Meals are served at specific times of the day e.g. breakfast 8am – 9am, providing an opportunity to meet fellow travellers. NOTE: EVEN WITHIN THE SAME CATEGORY PROPERTIES CAN VARY. FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON EACH PROPERTY SEE THE ‘FIJI ISLAND ESCAPES’ SECTION IN THIS BROCHURE. ONE THING ALL RESORTS HAVE IN COMMON IS THEY ARE SET IN STUNNING LOCATIONS You’ll mix and mingle with the locals for whom the nearby villages and the Yasawas is home. Most resorts are owned and operated by local Fijians. They are not owned by Awesome Adventures and standards vary from property to property. However we do monitor them and have Awesome Adventures staff moving around all the time to ensure everything is as it should be. Accommodation share twin and double rooms (price based on two people sharing) are generally called bures, the name for a traditional home with a thatched roof. They are not all thatched these days but the idea remains the same. INTRODUCTION 6 | 7 YOU NEED TO KNOW STUFFPACKAGES, BULA PASSES OR AWESOME PACKAGES - WHERE BUILD YOUR ADVENTURE?
