See highlights from last year’s adventure:
“Privilege. Our party has been able to experience things that virtually all other visitors to Fiji would never experience. The visit to the village was quite unspoiled by the indifference that you so often find in tourist resorts – and when they said goodbye to us in that song, you could tell their warmth was genuine – it brought tears to my eyes.” Bill
