Due to space limitations, excess baggage may not be accepted on board and will need to be stored at the guest’s own arrangement and cost.

• Many of our guests fall in love with the friendly nature of Fijian’s and are especially taken with the wide-eyed curiosity of the children. The villagers do not expect gifts from our guests, but many of our guests ask us what items they can bring to give away to village children. School supplies (pens, pencils, crayons, drawing/colouring books, notepads and the like) are always most welcome, as are sports items such as rugby and soccer balls.
