youth are so proud to have you be a part of their experience, it fast becomes a show you'll never forget. After the performance, you'll also have a chance to purchase native arts and crafts. The woven bags and the jewelry are reasonably priced. Prices range from $10 to $50 Fijian dollars. After breakfast our group headed to Savuti Point where we enjoyed the experience of hand-feeding schools of tropical fish. The crew provided the bread while we snorkeled close to shore. Crumble the bread to attract the fish and behold … a rainbow of marine life! If you're not a snorkeler, there's a glass-bottom boat so that you can still share in the experience.
TRADITIONAL FOOD As a special after-dinner treat the crew prepared Cava Cava. It's made from the root of the cava plant. The Fijians love it! It looks like muddy water and it will numb your lips and face. We all partied into the wee hours of the morning. It was a festive celebration and a lot of fun!
SOUTH SEA CRUISES The Tokoriki Resort is located in the Mamanuca Islands. To get there, we transferred to the South Sea Cruises high-speed ferry, Tiger IV. It can reach speeds up to 30mph. The trip takes an hour and fifteen minutes. There are two departures daily at 9:00am and 3:15pm. The adult fare is $100 Fijian dollars, while children ride for half that fare. Passengers can upgrade to the air-conditioned Captain's Lounge for $20 Fijian dollars extra and the upgrade is worth the expense. The lounge area has comfortable leather seats and the engine noise is reduced to a minimum. Complimentary beverages, including alcohol, are included as well.
