Discover Fiji
Fiji’s natural beauty, friendly people and proximity to Australia makes it a favourite holiday destination for couples, families and wedding parties, with many visitors returning time and again!
When you travel in Fiji, you will be welcomed with a friendly ‘Bula’, which is the local word for hello, and is also a message of good health and happiness. The Spirit of Bula runs through the culture, and Fijians are renowned for their warmth, friendliness and generosity. Fijians also love children, which makes it a great place to take the kids.
Koropita community Project
Rest and relaxation are often top-of-the-list for a holiday in Fiji, but there are plenty of outdoor and cultural experiences to choose from – whether it be snorkelling, diving, kayaking, river rafting or visiting a local village. Try a traditional lovo feast, where lovingly prepared food is slow cooked in underground ovens, or perhaps try some kava, a drink which some say is an acquired taste, but is renowned for its relaxing properties.
Koropita is a township ten minutes from Lautoka, where Rosie Holidays, in conjunction with Rotary, has assisted in the construction of homes, roads, a day care centre and other services. We invite you to join a tour of this community to experience first-hand how tourism is assisting Fijian communities. The tour also takes in Vuda Lookout, which offers 360 degree views of the mountain ranges, oceans and islands.
