Our little way of saying thank you for helping us preserve these stunning waters and pristine lands is to send you a hand-woven Fijian voivoi door mat to your home. It is more than likely you will meet the women who made it and even if not, you will leave knowing that you not only gave 10% of your trip cost back to local projects but also provided direct income to local women who are continuing their traditional skills.
Your volunteering project starts on a Monday.
Please bring your own snorkel equipment. If you forget there is some for hire at $20 a session.
We can advise you on additional eco trips to add on to your trip as you like.
Details of your resort/lodge names and full itinerary will be sent to you once your booking is confirmed with 20% deposit.
Please bring your own reusable water bottle to help reduce plastic waste on the islands.
