We’ve been working in Fiji for almost eight years so we know the communities personally. Just by travelling with Island Spirit you are already helping generate fair income for these tiny outer island villages. For example, depending on the group size, each homestay host will receive between FJD$30 (£12) each per person, per night with three home-cooked meals. Other similar organisations pay as little as $15 per person. An example of how the smaller details go a long way.

We are often told that one of the best parts of travelling with Island Spirit is being immersed in the culture. We also spend huge amounts of time building working relationships with our local ‘Wild Team’. On the first day of our recent Wildcrafed Wellness Escape, we traded with:
8 small businesses and their families and 7 individual specialists:
Our driver
Two massage therapists
Podi mali (little bro) who helps keep the ship afloat!
Gamini who makes mosquito nets like a genius.
Mama’s family restaurant
A new (to us) and brilliant, local egg hopper and dhal restaurant
Our landlord family
The Muslim store for our tiffin
Bundi’shomestay
Blue porch restaurant
Clay pot family
Fruit shop family
We haven’t even started surfing, cooking classes or any other workshops yet!

On the same day waves vary from small white water for real beginners to four foot green left and right breaks for the advanced surfer. #weligama #surfsrilanka #wfto @islandspiritexperiences #beginnersurfer #learntosurf

👣🧜🏼♀️🦋🐠🌺🌓🌈🏄♀️As the season begins in @srilanka, we have just opened our unique, Fairtrade Villa with the best guests we could ask for, two gorgeous air hostesses. We’re loving every minute watching these girls learn to turn in the warm, Sri Lankan surf. They’ve swam with wild turtles; Ommmed their afternoons away on the rooftop yoga space with @being_in_bliss; taken a vegan, Ayurvedic cookery class and discovered the street food delicacies in the local area. We’re honoured to host such smiles 🤗@wfto_fairtrade #golocalsrilanka #yogasrilanka #surfsrilanka #yogaretreats2019 #ecotourism #sustainabletravel #mindfultravel

🌊 🏄♀️ Thinking of Sri Lanka this winter? Contact me, I’m here now, for ideas and eco options throughout the country. Surf Midigama’s Lazy Left, Weligama’s 2km beach break and the ridiculously beautiful Hiriketiya bay. I’ve personally sourced eco/local lodges in each place which prioritise the community and environment over profit. Our exclusive villa is in Midigama with yogi on site 🙂 The best way to travel 🧳
