Ultimate Family Travel TV

Kids and family are the backbone of Fijian culture. "Matavuvale" is the Fijian word for family and you'll find the importance of a matavuvale here in everything from weekly family-friendly events to the daily children's learning, play and arts & crafts programs at most resorts. And, you won't have to worry about the kids when you need some time away from them because Fijians are probably the most caring "baby-sitters" in the world! In Fiji, each new day brings with it a wide range of unique and fascinating things for the whole family to see, do and experience. The captivating cultural experiences, wondrous sightseeing and adrenaline rich adventure activities will never fail to take your breath away.

If you bring the kids, there's so much child-friendly stuff like a visit to the legendary Viseisei Village where the original Fijians landed 3,500 years ago. Or, take an evening sugar train ride with Fijian serenaders. Or, explore the huge, ancient cave fortress of Fiji's last cannibal tribes - wondrous rock formations and awesome reminders of bygone days. And, a visit to Kula Eco Park to see a microcosm of Fiji's natural flora and fauna will draw oohs and ahhs. Add a thrilling perspective and let the kids see the islands as only a para-sailing experience can show them.

While the kids are having fun, you can pamper yourself with Fijian style beauty and relaxation treatments at one of our numerous spas or challenge your skills on one of our championship golf courses. How about a very private picnic on your own beach or island! Or a simple stroll through the world famous orchid collection of American actor, Raymond Burr. Cap your day with a swim with the 'gods' in the mystical waterfall of a tropical rainforest. See our Romance TV Show.

Fiji's tropical climate, boasting the highest sunshine factor in the South Pacific, provides a sun culture that focuses on water and outdoor activities to suit every family taste and interest.

For land lubber families, there's trekking in lush rainforests and Central Highlands or mountain biking through awesome scenery and ancient inhabited villages. Or you can embrace the euphoria of up to 10,000 feet skydives or experience the awesome views of Fiji that a flight-seeing experience can offer.

For inland water enthusiasts, Class II, III and IV white water rafting on the Upper Navua, the Ba, and the Luva rivers should satisfy the hard adventurer parent. Jet boat, jet ski safaris and river kayaking will not only thrill you but inspire you as well.

And, for ocean lovers, kids of all ages love waterskiing, water scooters, banana boating, glass bottom boat rides and sailing a sunfish or hobie cat. And for Mom and Dad action types, you can marvel the rush of jet boating and jet skiing, windsurfing and world-class surfing.

For those seeking paradise underwater, you'll discover why Jean-Michel Cousteau calls Fiji the "soft coral capital of the world". And with that accolade comes some of the best snorkeling and scuba-diving anywhere. Rated among the Top 10 dive destinations in the world, Fiji's vast, varied and colorful underwater playgrounds boast something spectacular for divers at every skill level and the "unparalleled range of quality dive sites and sheer diversity of life on Fijian reefs is overwhelming breathtaking".

Whatever your budget, the "rush" beckons throughout the islands and you'll find world-class adventure excursions that support the local communities and environment and that offer opportunities to meet Fiji's people. See our Adventure TV Show!
