Rustic Pathways is the leader in student travel in
Fiji. Over the past 16 years we have developed
a wonderful range of exciting and enlightening
programs that immerse our students in life here.
Operating from three unique and picturesque
bases – a tropical retreat on remote Nacula Island,
a traditional bure nestled deep in the Nausori
Highlands, and an Eco-Lodge that overlooks
peaceful Momi Bay – we offer many wonderful
opportunities to explore Fiji’s beautiful tropical
islands and get to know the friendly locals. Our
love for Fijian culture and our deep respect
for the people of these magnificent islands are
echoed throughout our extensive community
service and adventure trips, which both educate
and challenge our students.
As a cornerstone of Rustic Pathways for over a decade, Fiji is as much a home to us as it is a destination.
With the continued expansion of our South Pacific Eco-Lodge, we live and operate out of the majestic island
of Viti Levu year round, solidifying our position as a leading operator of adventure and ?????
programs in this corner of the world. Our love for Fijian culture and our deep respect for the people of these
magnificent islands is echoed through the amount of time and care we put into educating our students and
taking them to the lesser known corners of the country.
Rustic Pathways is the leader in Fijian student adventures. In the realm of service, we offer students the
opportunity to give something back to the local communities, such as helping to build new schools for
villages, teaching English to children, and participating in the dozens of ongoing community projects that
Rustic Pathways proudly sponsors and supports.
Come be a part of the tropical bliss, coastal treats, and highland wonders that have made this nation the
unmatched jewel of the South Pacific. Centrally located in the South Pacific, all of our Fiji programs easily
connect with our Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, India, China, and
Vietnam programs! For more information please contact us at fiji@rusticpathways.com.
watching the exhilaration of a dolphin
arching high into the air beside your boat
tracing the long gliding swoop
of a flock of kula parrots through the rainforest
enjoying the smiles of excited children
running along a near deserted beach
swimming below thundering waterfalls
hidden deep in the mountains
absorbing the sounds of village life
laughter, energetic chatter
in unison to the beat of a hollow log drum
surrounded by the solitude and peace
of a golden sunset over pacific waters
