Epi's Midland Tour, hike to Lovoni - Ovalau, Fiji Islands
Lovoni,
on the Island of Ovalau is
one
part
of
the Fii Islands where history has had a chance to be made - from the
days when the first settlers arrived, through the de facto reign of
King Cakobau, to the first Colonial Administration. Levuka was the
first capital of The Fiji Islands - Lovoni was the first village on
Ovalau.
With
the leadership of myself, Epi, You will trek through pristine
rainforest to the heart of Ovalau - to the village of Lovoni, situated
within a volcanic crater. Throughout the trek I will explain and you
can sample, jungle medicines and bush food, as well as enjoying the
magnificent natural beauty of the surrounding area.
After
the trek cool off with a refreshing 
swim in the clear river. At Lovoni, after presenting a Sevusevu to the
chief of the village, you will enjoy a lunch of traditional Fijian food
& drink served by my family. I will also explain the history of
Fiji, Ovalau and Lovoni, along with the famous legend of the strong ,
fierce warfare encountered by
the blood thirsty warriors of Lovoni. This elaborate history
encompasses; trickery, torture, intimidation and slavery, until the
final rebirth of my proud people. After a tour around the village
transport is provided

Comments from previous guests:
The tour with Epi to Lovoni Village was the cultural highlight of our
Visit to Fiji. Really great! Epi is a very knowledgeable guide . Lunch
in a Fijian home, meeting with the chief of Lovoni and a swim makes
this tour a must.

Do
not miss the Lovoni hike with Epi. You will be
treated as a guest and not as a tourist.
