Do I just want to be pampered in 5 star luxury?... or a budget travel option in order to see a different part of the world?... or do I want to participate in a life-altering experience that will leave me as deeply touched as any week I will ever experience?

At Vatuwiri you will arrive from the Taveuni airport via a one hour drive along some of the most beautiful coastal roadway in the world. As you pass through the Vatuwiri Estate gates, you are entering into an entirely different world. Yes, you are still in Taveunii but you have just entered a resort of unsurpassable beauty, a massive Plantation, a Farm, a Wildlife Preserve, and an Ocean and Eco Activity Wonderland the scope and likes of which does not exist anywhere else in Fiji and quite likely, the world. However, none of what we just described will even remotely touch you the way you will feel after meeting the Tarte family who preside over this grand Taveuni estate. Spencer Tarte and his family are 3rd, 4th and 5th generation Fiji plantation owners who share one thing above all else, “love and preservation of their family values."

Here you will stay in a striking and magical ocean side bungalow furnished with Fijian décor and flair. The ocean waves, only a few short meters below, grace the shore with a hypnotic and soothing harmony. Your days will be filled with a remarkable series of events that will constantly peak the previous experience that you thought could not be topped... Does this all sound too good to be true?

Ok, well then how about a half day horse back ride through our spectacular Taveuni hills and valleys complemented with magnificent ocean views, or a hike to the top of the dormant volcano and then down to the crater marsh below, or maybe a snorkel in waters and reefs that experts have called unparalleled in their beauty, or an exploration of an ancient 200 year old village, fortified for war, and that knew no conquerors, or a deep sea dive or big time game fishing, or a private white sandy beach lagoon, and on and on and on. But here's the real kicker… every evening when you sit with the Tarte family and share in their genuine intimate moments of a family that has forgone the temptation of selling off their Taveuni heritage and land and instead find life's greatest value with their evening gathering and talanoa (a Fijian friendly, heartfelt discussion). This is when you will know that you are one of the very lucky, and fortunate beyond words, to have shared the experience of a pure Fiji, and of Fiji's ultimate definition of family.
