The programme

The first stop on our excursion will be the Fiji Museum. Situated in the heart of Suva's botanical gardens, it boasts an outstanding collection of archaeological material dating back 3,700 years, as well as cultural findings relating to the indigenous people and other populations that have settled on the islands in the last hundred years. Highlights include the rudder of famous ship the HMS Bounty, and the boot of missionary Thomas Baker who was killed and eaten in 1867 by the cannibals that inhabited the island of Viti Levu at the time.
We will continue with a sightseeing tour of the island on our coach, stopping at the gate to Government House, the official residence of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Fiji.
Then we will pass Walu Bay industrial area, Saint Giles Hospital and the Australian Embassy before reaching Tamavua Heights, which offers panoramic views of the port of Suva.
Our guide will point out the national sports centre that hosted the South Pacific Games in 2003, the main campus of the University of the South Pacific and Parliament House.
Our coach tour will then continue and we will have the chance to see the site of the British Embassy and the U.S. Embassy.
