These demonstrations provide a fascinating insight into the skills, patience, and cultural significance behind each creation.
The journey continues with a guided walk through the village’s organic garden, where island-grown staples, medicinal plants, and sustainable farming practices come to life.

The sensory experience—from the scent of fresh herbs to the vibrant colors of tropical plants—creates a deeper appreciation for the connection between land, culture, and cuisine.
No visit would be complete without participating in a traditional kava ceremony, a ritual symbolizing friendship, respect, and unity in Fijian culture.
