excursions and fun!

Have some fun and enjoy the beauty of Fiji right at the Mission. Right outside of your door you can swim in our beautiful salt-water pool, or in the warm water of the southern Pacific Ocean. We have kayaks  and snorkel gear for you to use!

Enjoy our beautiful, pristine beach.  Swim, sunbathe, snorkel, hike, stargaze, and enjoy community at our weekly bonfire under the stars!

Walk around our stunning 750 acre property,  a former coconut plantation. Sip a fresh coconut while you enjoy the views of our volcano, creek, bamboo forest, farm, and more! Feeling energetic? Hike to the top of the volcano on a guided tour!

Our student groups, especially, love the play-time opportunities at the Mission.  We have a regulation volleyball court, a pickleball court, and a ping-pong table!

Cannibalism has a long history in Fiji, with the last recorded incident being in the 1860s. Unique to MNC visitors is a hike to an ancient privately- owned cave near our property that still contains ancient human bones.

Located a short boat ride from the Mission is the famous Rainbow Reef, one of the most beautiful dive and snorkel sites in the world.  You can snorkel at the Mission, with or without a guide, or you can be taken to the Rainbow Reef for guided diving and snorkeling.

Your visit will likely include a visit to Kioa Island to experience the amazing traditional drum  dance and “handcrafts” of this traditional Polynesian village. Or, you'll receive a visit by traditional Fijian Meke dancers, who tell the stories of grand legends and battles, connecting you to the Fijian culture. The Meke at the Mission is typically followed by a Lovo, a traditional Fijian feast, where traditional food is cooked underground all day in a lovo, or “earth oven”. 

 Your group may opt for a "Day in Paradise" excursion.  A day trip to this beautiful island resort includes a traditional Fijian welcome song, foot massage, Kava ceremony, options for snorkel, massage or tube rides, and a gourmet Fijian lunch.

  Enjoy Fiji’s natural wonders. Take an excursion to the nearby island of Taveuni and slide down the Waitavala natural rock water slide or hike and swim among the island’s towering Bouma waterfalls.  While in Taveuni, stop at the International Date Line and put one foot in the Northern Hemisphere, and one foot in the Southern Hemisphere!

 Visit a pearl farm for a sustainability talk, a look at how pearls are harvested, and a boat tour of the hatchery.  If desired, bring snorkel gear and plunge in to see the nets and the giant clams. Need some retail therapy? Visit the gift shop to bring home pearl jewelry right from the source.

Tour a chocolate farm and factory that showcases cocoa growing according to ecological principles in an 'agroforestry' setting and demonstrates chocolate-making at its artfully simple best!

 ​Tours end with a tasting, and you can bring home some of the island's finest chocolate!

 Want to extend your time in Fiji before or after your Mission trip?  We can help book your resort stay accommodations in the Vanua Levu and Taveuni Islands. Our resort neighbors support our Mission and help us get the best accommodations and prices for our guests, who take care of the medical needs of their staff.
