GSTC2025 Fiji Complimentary Post-Conference Tours

As part of the GSTC2025 Fiji program, we are pleased to offer a selection of post-conference tours on August 8th designed to immerse participants in the cultural, natural, and community stories of Fiji. These experiences provide a meaningful opportunity to explore the country’s diverse landscapes, unique traditions, and local initiatives in sustainable tourism. Each tour has been developed in collaboration with local partners to highlight the beauty of Fiji’s natural environments and the richness of its cultural heritage.

To join a complimentary tour on August 8th, participants must pre-register and select their preferred tour option in advance due to limited capacity in all tours. Once the tours are open for registration, participants will get instructions to register.

1) Fiji Culture Village

Discover the rich heritage of Fiji on this immersive cultural experience, where long-held traditions are proudly kept alive.

At the Fiji Culture Village in Nacaqara, Navo, Nadi, you’ll step into a lively community where Fijian culture remains vibrant and authentic. Explore traditional bure huts, each representing different aspects of the country’s diverse heritage: from fire lighting and pottery making to wood carving and mat weaving.

Meet local artisans who share the skills, customs, and stories passed down through generations, offering a genuine connection to Fiji’s history and way of life.

Find more information about Fiji Culture Village on their website.

2) VOU HUB for Arts, Culture and Activities

Dive deeply into the Fiji untold story of Mystical Giant women; Octopus Gods of the vast Fijian ocean; and a Shape Shifting Iguana spirit adorned in the long-lost dance sticks of a village crying out for a hero. A young girl of chiefly Fijian heritage is plunged into a journey of daring self-discovery. One that takes her so far beyond the soil she is born of, and into the dreamy Fijian underworld she has only ever heard of through the half-whispered half-remembered dance stories of aunties and uncles around late-night story sessions. Begin your experience with a live drumming extravaganza then be drawn into an enticing mix of contemporary and traditional song and dance performance, which awakens the senses and gives you a deeper understanding and connection with beautiful Fiji!

In 2019 VOU established the VOU HUB for arts, culture and Activities located 5 minutes from Denarau Island in Nadi. The VOU HUB is the first artist owned and run venue in Fiji and houses a 450 seat theater that hosts high quality Fijian performing arts.

3) Great Sea Reef Coral Restoration Tour

Experience Fiji’s iconic Great Sea Reef through a unique conservation-focused tour. We begin with a Coral Block Tutorial at the Fiji Surf Co. Beach Warehouse on Sonaisali Beach, where you’ll learn how these nature-based structures help regenerate reefs and support marine biodiversity.

Weather permitting, we’ll head out by boat to visit live Coral Block Reef sites on the Great Sea Reef. Enjoy sightseeing, swimming, and snorkeling around vibrant reefs and nearby islands, with guides, gear, lunch, and refreshments provided.

This tour blends education and exploration — showcasing real solutions for ocean restoration.
