WHAT DOES THE PROJECT DO?

The Feejee Experience itineraries focus on Fiji’s rich cultural diversity and heritage, whilst offering the opportunity for plenty of serene beach relaxation and adrenaline filled adventures such as sand boarding, ocean kayaking, and jungle treks. When you embark on the FeeJee Experience you will have the chance to visit some of the country’s most pristine beaches, idyllic islands, fascinating cultural attractions, and world renowned dive spots, travelling to an array of idyllic destinations all over Fiji.

If you have a limited amount of time in Fiji then we recommend a bus pass inclusive of accommodation, which is for a set amount of time but still allows you to experience all the amazing spots the country has to offer. All of our overnight accommodation is located along the coast allowing travellers the opportunity to relax in the afternoon with a refreshing tropical cocktail or explore some of the vibrant tropical reefs.

If you are flexible and have more time then the ‘transport only passes’ may be more suited to you, as you can jump off and on anywhere along the route and simply book your own accommodation on a daily basis. See our passes to choose which one is best for you!

CORAL COASTER (US$175 – 3 Days)

This short but sweet adventure takes you to some of Fiji’s renowned beach resorts - relax, snorkel, swim, and dive to your heart’s content on the country’s most immaculate beaches.

Please note this package includes accommodation and some meals.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I ARRIVE?

You will make your own way to your chosen start destination for your Feejee Experience pass. You are then free to choose when you want to move onto the next destination on your route. Equally, if that destination doesn’t appeal to you, you can travel straight through to the next place. The choice is yours. You are advised to book the next leg of your journey at least 3 days in advance (longer in busier periods) to ensure a seat on the bus of your choice.

WHERE WILL I BE STAYING?

The FeeJee Experience is all about flexibility. You can choose where you stay and we'll do our best to get you there. Across Fiji you will find a range of options to suit all budgets and preferences. Hostels offer great value for money, with a nights’ accommodation generally costing you around US$22 (€15/$20). These tend to be popular with other travellers, offering comfortable and clean accommodation, so you’re sure to have an enjoyable nights rest. Remember though that your chosen FeeJee Experience package may already provide accommodation along your route, so be sure to check in advance before you book other accommodation!

WHAT WILL I BE EATING?

The FeeJee Experience offers a combination of catered and self catered options, depending on the particular bus pass package you have chosen. Generally, you will be provided with meals at some, but not all, of the locations you visit. On those days you will have the freedom to decide where and what to eat, letting you and your travel mates try out the diverse selection of delicious Fijian dishes on offer. It’ll also be a great time to bond with new friends and recall your awesome travel experiences to date! Meal prices usually cost between US$7 (€5/$6) and US$17 (€12/$15) at local Fijian restaurants.
 

ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

In your spare time you can enjoy the spectacular scenery and beautiful beaches and go snorkelling in the clear blue waters of Pacific harbour, just a bus ride away. Whatever you do you'll be amazed at the Pacific Islanders' tremendous hospitality and culture. You'll quickly make friends as you play rugby, netball, and other sports with the villagers.
You can take part in traditional ceremonies, learn Fijian cooking, and learn how to weave hats in the local style, visit the hot springs or take a scuba diving course. There is also the opportunity to trek in the nearby rainforest, and bathe in natural waterfall lagoons. Please note that these activities cost extra and we encourage you to book them direct with local providers helping to support the local economy.
