Not content with leaving the environment as it is, it allows visitors to restore it. Many adventure experiences in Fiji are closely linked to conservation initiatives, including coral reef restoration projects, tree-planting programs and eco-friendly practices presented at local workshops. Adventure seekers can participate in informative eco-tours, such as:
Naidiri Village Biodiversity Park where visitors can contribute to coral restoration projects run by local youth to support and strengthen their livelihoods. Mangrove Jacks Kayaks Guided Tours in Savusavu, where guided kayak tours support Fiji’s mangrove ecosystems. The Duavata Collective is a group of tour operators who believe that tourism should value culture, heritage and the environment. Among them, hiking operator Talanoa Treks explores the central heart of Viti Levu with its 3-day Highland Escape. Preserving culture through adventure Beyond natural wonders, Fiji is committed to preserving and sharing its rich cultural heritage. Adventure packages often include traditional experiences such as meke (Fijian dance), canoeing and village storytelling. So many opportunities to combine tourism and Fijian culture. Finding Islands Tours offers eco-friendly tours of Fiji’s hidden gems. Off the Grid Tours Fiji goes off the beaten track to explore Fiji’s most remote and unspoilt regions. The growth of adventure tourism in Fiji goes hand in hand with the involvement of the local community. Fiji’s tourism industry mentoring program and AdventureEDU initiatives provide the skills and resources local entrepreneurs need to deliver authentic, sustainable experiences. A focus on community tourism offers visitors closer connections with Fiji’s landscapes and people, while supporting local economies. In November, Fiji will also host AdventureNEXT, a trade event showcasing the full range of adventure experiences to a global audience.
