A night for our history books. ๐ซถ๐ฝ ๐ฑ SO BLESSED to have witnessed the first of many meke performances by our family from mataqali Tuinamo for some of our special guests visiting from Canada recently.๐ซ Feedback from our guests was that this performance was a highlight of their trip, especially as the group unexpectedly emerged from the surrounding gardens after dinner, and their unmatched energy quickly filled the night skies with full moon rising. ๐ โจ I mean, listen to their screams and hear their laughter - their passion for their culture is SO contagious! ๐ฅฐWe look forward to these children leading the way as we collaborate to share more of our culture and village with the world. ๐ VINAKHA khodou noqu VUSUE ๐๐พ ๐๐พ ๐๐พ Dau duโani ga niโa mekhe, marau akhinka vaa na noda oso vaโa ni noda khawa amaโa.

Last week we did our first familiarisation trip in partnership with @tourismfiji , hosting @myfiresideadventures and two independent schools looking to make Fiji a destination for experiential learning for their students.๐ฅ It was an awesome experience and insight into the travel industry, as we were involved from the creation of the 5 day itinerary through to hosting at @nanumi.au.eco for 3 of those days. ๐๐ด
We absolutely love collaborating with local suppliers so we were truly in our element. โจ
Overall, it was a successful trip with the feedback being a 10/10 experience and attendees expressing their interest in returning to Fiji. And while we are so pleased (and relieved!) that all went well, what we are most excited about is the deep connections made with Bryan, Tony and Jeff during their visit, as well as the growing friendships with local suppliers who collaborated with us @hiddengemfiji @talanoatreks @utoniyalotrust @waitikafarmfiji @spearfishing_fiji ๐๐๐ #suncoast #fiji #famil #nanumiau #tour #tourismfiji #villagelife
And what better place to get certified than in the soft coral capital OF THE WORLD ... from right off our door step! ๐๐๏ธStay with us and get certified with Momo Joji, a PADI dive instructor with 20+ years in the industry, owner of Ring Gold Divers - Fiji and conveniently located in the village nearby. The PADI open water course takes 3-5 days and involves an online e-learning component, underwater skills drills with a dive instructor and two confined dives. ๐คฟ ๐ซง Itโs a whole new world to discover! ๐#nanumiaueco #fiji #scuba #padi #openwaterdiver #scubadiving #scuba #underwaterworld
Happy Monday, followers! ๐ We are going into the week with a thought: Imagine if every hotel, every tour, every activity, and every destination not only aimed to minimize harm but actively worked to restore ecosystems and empower communities?๐คโจNanumi Au has a vision to provide travelers with richer, more meaningful experiences, help regenerate our ecosystem, and support our local economy. A win-win for all! ๐ซถ๐ฝWhat are your thoughts on this?๐ญ#nanumiaueco #fiji #suncoastfiji #eco#ecovillage #travel #sustainabletravel #adventuretravel #sustainability #village
