  • If you thought Fiji was just about pretty beaches, think again! On our family's recent trip to Fiji, we discovered that there is so much more to this country than its famous beaches. We uncovered so much adventure, history and culture there, and we can't wait to return! Thanks to Tourism Fiji, Intercontinental Fiji and Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort Fiji for hosting us!
    When you're done with this one, watch our second Fiji video here:

    Been to Fiji twice and love it. Not enough of us Americans choose to visit (which is fine with me). Thanks for sharing your experiences. Glad you got a chance to get out to the remote islands. The experience is sooo much better away from Vitu Levu (main island)

    This video was very educational. I'm a Methodist in Jamaica. I didn't know that history of Rev. Thomas Baker. Definitely went to do more reading. The hat making session reminded me of some of the local artisans in my hometown of Ocho Rios. 😊Your girls are learning so much about life with all these trips. I love that for them 😊

      @ madamekadz , 20+ yrs back was when Rev Thomas Baker’s descendants came to Fiji,attending a cleansing ceremony from the descendants of the people of Nabutautau village where he was killed.

      He wasnt killed because he touched the chief's head thats what they accused him of, but it was to do from where he was coming from the Bau chiefdom already Christian seen by others as a expansionist polity which it has done to its neighbors. He knew he was going on a suicide mission the moment he decided to go up inland, he wrote on his letters to the other missionaries. It's a long story, a complex one, as is always Fijian politics, ancient and modern, but the friendliest and happy people you can find anywhere.

Beautiful. The Jean Michel resort greeting 🎤🎶. Laundry 🧺 included? Nice. No tv? It’s possible. Kids club too? Nice. Such a lovely stay. They sang you out as well. Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice, but us, people who watch videos like this, are also and (primarily) interested in filming the commercial flights interiors. Without that, the video will get very low viewership or reviews, which means less revenue.......
