Excursion Somosomo village & international date line tour at Taveuni

Experience Fijian village lifeways starting with a warm welcome by villagers, followed by a tour of the village and see an authentic kava ceremony and local demonstrations of traditional weaving.

Next, visit the International Dateline where the day is divided and tomorrow waves goodbye to yesterday. Although Fiji adheres to the single time convention, the Dateline cuts straight through Taveuni to offer you a great photo opportunity as you step from one day into the next.

Visit the Holy Cross Church in Wairiki, built in 1907 to honor a French missionary who successfully advised Taveuni's warriors on how to defeat invading Tongans in a major battle. Discover the imposing stone structure that is a mix of Roman style with stained-glass windows and Fijian style with floor mats for seating. Explore at your own pace the spectacular architecture and the amazing interior designs.
