Day-By-Day Itinerary

This itinerary can be fully customized; to tailor this package to your specific requirements please call one of our travel specialists at 1-800-22-SWAIN.

Day 1 Fly USA to Nadi

Day 2 Cross The International Dateline
The International Date Line is an imaginary line on the earth's surface that approximately coincides with the 180th meridian (Longitude), and separates the calendar date. Traveling east across the line, takes the traveler back one day; traveling west, takes the traveler forward one day.

Day 3 Fly Nadi to Savusavu
Upon arrival, take a short, one-hour domestic flight to Savusavu, where you'll be greeted and transferred by shuttle to your accommodation.

The Fiji Islands are tailor made for relaxed adventure. The islands boast miles and miles of extreme pristine beauty and are a nature lover’s delight. At the crossroads of the Pacific, Fiji is the exotic melting pot of cultures of Fijian, Indian, Chinese, South Sea Islanders and European settlers.

Days 4-6 At leisure, Fiji
When in Fiji, it’s only natural to immerse yourself in the Fijian culture and inspired way of life. Fijians easily express themselves in dress, music and crafts. These outward expressions are as genuine and beautiful as their inner beings: Theirs is never a show to put on for visitors, but rather a heartfelt reflection of who they are.

In keeping with Fijian time-honored traditions, you may desire to participate in a one-of-a-kind Kava Yaqone Ceremony. Named for the pulverized root of a pepper plant, kava, or yaqona, is a drink consumed during Fijian rituals that center around everything from welcoming of visitors to sealing business deals, casting spells, and most often, relaxing.

Local villagers visit Namale once a week to show their skills — the ideal opportunity to purchase authentic Fijian souvenirs and support family and friends of the Namale staff. Handicraft offerings include wood sculptures, tapestries, jewelry and sarong wraps called sulus. Fijian artisans also produce fine tapa cloth, or masi, kava bowls, walking sticks, baskets, purses and replicas of Fijian artifacts. You can also choose from baskets, mats, purses and fans — let alone the pure coconut oil prepared by local families.

Each week, local villagers come to Namale to share their history through narrative dance, or meke. Wearing traditional costumes, including grass skirts, spears and necklaces woven of the flowering plant plumeria, dancers use their hands, hips and voices to act out ancient scenes to the mesmerizing rhythm of wooden drums.

Day 7 Fly Savusavu to Nadi
Take a short, one-hour domestic flight back to Nadi. On arrival you will be met and transferred by private vehicle to your accommodation in Denarau.

Days 8-9 At Leisure, Denarau
At your leisure to explore the beautiful natural beauty of Fiji and it's many surrounding islands. The big island of Viti Levu offers a wealth of tropical scenery, from rushing mountain rivers and waterfalls in the depths of the rainforest, to palm-fringed beaches where time seems to stop.

Fish from the reef in the morning, picnic at the edge of a waterfall plunging into a rocky jungle pool at midday and eat native food cooked in an earth oven in the evening, and then dance to the beat in a swinging night spot until long after midnight.

Along with it's pristine tropical beauty, Viti Levu offers several large towns and the bustling capital of Suva, a shopper's paradise and you will never have to travel more than a few hours to get anywhere on the island.

Day 10 Fly Nadi to USA
Transfer by private vehicle to Nadi Airport for your departure flight.
