Navega por el archipiélago de Mamanuca, contempla las impresionantes islas Yasawas y desembarca en la isla Kuata, la más cercana a Nadi. Kuata es una pequeña joya escondida en el archipiélago de las islas Yasawa.
Prepárate para una playa de postal, con aguas turquesas y formaciones rocosas diferentes que encajan perfectamente con la hospitalidad de la gente de Fiyi. Si te apetece sacar tu lado explorador, hay un pequeño alojamiento en la isla que ofrece una experiencia al estilo Robinson Crusoe, pero con las comodidades de un restaurante, un bar, hamacas y una piscina. Tras una breve reunión informativa en Kuata, sube a bordo del barco y, acompañado de tu guía, ve en busca de tiburones en el arrecife de tiburones. El tiempo de salida está sujeto a las condiciones del mar.
No pasarás hambre ya que te mimaremos con un té por la mañana y por la tarde. Además, disfrutarás de un delicioso almuerzo, también con opciones vegetarianas, en la isla de Kuata. Para el resto del día, aprovecha las instalaciones de Barefoot Kuata, todas ellas disponibles para tu disfrute. Cerca de la playa, podrás bucear, hacer kayak, caminar o, tal vez, relajarte con un masaje (sujeto a tarifas adicionales).
La isla es hogar de dos especies de tiburones: los tiburones de arrecife de punta blanca y los punta negra, ambos comunes en la cálidas aguas tropicales del Pacífico Sur. Cada especie puede llegar a medir más de un metro y medio, aunque, gracias a ilusión óptica producida por la máscara del esnórquel, debajo del agua se verán un 25% más grandes. El tiburón de punta blanca es la especie dominante y son, por naturaleza, los más curiosos, por lo que, no te asustes ya que seguro que vendrán a visitarte. Por el contrario, los punta negra se alejarán si se sienten amenazados.

Food! We love it. It doesn't matter where in the world you’re from, we all bond over food.

Learn more about Fijian cuisine (and eat, eat, eat!) with this hands-on cooking experience.
Your culinary adventure will start out with a tour of the market, where you’ll shop for some of the local ingredients that will be part of your cooking class later in the day.
Supplies ready, you’ll next meet your hosts, a group of local Fijian women who not only love to cook, but also love teaching guests how to cook s Fiji’s most popular local dishes. You’ll chop, marinate, grate, gather, and sort, all under the guidance of your hosts.
While your gourmet dishes are cooking, you’ll have free time to fully explore the local community and culture. Chat with your hosts and learn more about Fijian traditions, help out as the dining area is set for your meal, or take a walk around the neighbourhood and do a bit of hyperlocal sightseeing.
Once it’s time to dine, you’ll get a lesson in local eating etiquette. The Pacific way is without the use of a fork or knife — a style that may seem messy at first, but is the best way to truly experience the tastes of Fijian cuisine.
Stuffed and satisfied from your delicious (and hearty) Fijian meal, you can kick back and relax with your hosts before bidding farewell and heading back to your hotel.

Delve further into the villagers’ customs and culture with an afternoon of activities, or choose to relax and explore on your own before the return drive to your hotel.

There’s no better way to experience a culture than to jump right in with the locals. Get a unique perspective on Fijian traditions with this Sunday tour that takes you from a morning church service through to an intimate lunch with a local family. This is the ultimate anti-tourist experience that will take you far away from the resorts and island bars and deep into the heart of what makes Fiji’s people so wonderful.
Start your Sunday Fiji tour by joining a church congregation for the day’s service. Your guide will brief you on the dos and don’ts and give you a history lesson of the islands’ religious practices. This is an extremely intimate opportunity that will make you not just a visitor, but a part of the local community. In addition to taking part in the sermon and readings, you’ll meet local children attending Sunday school and hear the sounds of Fiji’s rich musical heritage by listening to the church choir perform.
Please note that a collection plate will be passed around, for donations to assist with running the church. It is not mandatory to donate; however, if you feel that you want to give a dollar or two, you’re most welcomed to.
Once the service is over and as you bid goodbye to members of the congregation, you’ll meet the family that will host a Sunday lunch with you in their home. The term “bula” is something you’ll hear everywhere in Fiji. It means hello, goodbye, welcome, love, life, and more, and it often is used to sum up the vibe of Fiji itself. One of the best ways to understand the bula spirit is to visit a family — because bula originates from within the family.
You’ll sit and enjoy a cosy meal with a local family, during which time you’ll have the chance to learn about their cultural traditions and history. In Fiji, meals are traditionally eaten sitting on the living room floor, with food spread out on a tablecloth in the middle of the group. Expect lots of good (and filling!) food, laughs, smiles, and warm hospitality.After your meal and conversation, your guide will take you back to your hotel, and you can spend the rest of your Sunday exploring on your own.
