The Concept . . .

Like most of our good ideas, the concept for Feejee Experience was fine-tuned over vinos and beers at various locations worldwide. We value the input from all of our team at Kiwi and Oz, and although we do not follow conventional ideals of concept development and implementation, we think we have both the right formula and a track record to prove it.

Our mate Emele runs the company. Em was born and bred in Fiji and joined us on a road trip around Viti Levu when we were first throwing around the idea of starting up. All I can say is thank god she was with us otherwise we would still be wallowing around somewhere in the mountain ranges, lost!!

Feejee Experience complements the products we already offer in New Zealand and Australia and we have chosen a tough, ‘off the beaten track' route around Fiji, that's for sure. The route around Viti Levu (mainland Fiji), has been designed for you, the adventure-minded traveller wanting a more invigorating and challenging experience. It has been set up to help you experience all that this incredible country has to offer. We hope you consequently return home with a greater knowledge and understanding of the Pacific community, as opposed to returning with just a suntan to impress your mates.

We've spent many hours travelling around the island: visiting every accommodation abode, testing every activity, drinking in every bar and meeting with the locals to ensure that you are offered the best options available and under the correct Fijian protocol. I would like to say it has been really hard work, but in truth it has just been a heck of a lot of fun!

One of the best parts of our jobs at Oz and Kiwi Experience is watching small communities benefit from our business and seeing you experience a real chunk of Oz / Kiwi and Fijian life.

Things are a little different in Fiji. We are travelling to places where villagers rarely see a traveller. When we stop at local fruit markets to buy produce, we are supporting a community that is often poverty stricken (from our westernised perspective), and the look of appreciation from the people is indescribable. We also take time to stop at local high schools for a game of soccer and deliver stationery to them on a weekly basis. Often the students have never ventured out of their small village and their interaction with you is priceless. The schools are also building bures to house any qualified teachers on the bus who would like to stay for a few days and assist in furthering the education of their students. This only skims the surface of the contribution you could make to Fijian society - you'll soon realise that the possibilities are numerous.

The bottom line is that this is not only an amazing experience for you - it is also contributing to isolated communities and we think that's one of the best parts of our jobs.
