The 6-night Village stays and Beqa Walk package is the perfect opportunity for the more adventurous traveller to enjoy Fijian culture, tradition, and landscapes on Beqa Island, by hiking between the resort and two villages.
Location
The Homestays and Beqa Walk package is located across three areas, starting at the Lawaki Beach House, then branching off to the remote villages of both Naiseuseu and Naceva. The villages are each located a short hike (45 minutes to an hour) from each other and from the Lawaki Beach House. it allows more adventurous travel and an opportunity to stay in both villages (to compare and contrast the Fijian Way of Life).
Days 1 and 2: Arrival – Boat travel from Pacific Harbor to Lawaki Beach House. Spend time relaxing or snorkeling the pristine waters of Lawaki’s Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA). The Lawaki reef is a short (one minute) swim from the beach and has hard and soft coral, relatively untouched by bleaching and a great diversity of fishes and marine life. Lawaki will also assist you in preparing for your village stay.
Day 3: Hike along the beach (accessible at low tide) or take the inland route (at high tide) to Naiseuseu village. (Both Naiseuseu and Naceva are similar distances and equally accessible from Lawaki.) You will be greeted by your village host and participate in the ceremonial process of Sevusevu. Engage in any number of opportunities (refer to Activities) in the village.
Day 4: Naiseusu Village – Continue with your activities or simply converse with village residents to get to know one another better. Share stories, learn about the Fijian Way of Life and the future prospects for the village.
Day 5: Hike to Naceva village – After saying your final goodbyes to Naiseuseu, you will be guided by locals to Naceva village (taking the inland route through a jungle track). A second Sevesevu will greet you in Naceva, allowing you to enter and freely walk throughout the village.
Day 6: Naceva village – Select among a slightly different set of activities in Naceva (which has the primary school) and get to know the locals well.
Day 7: Departure – Expect an emotional farewell from community members as you depart for Pacific Harbor by boat.
