Spices of Fiji Shore Excursion in Suva, Fiji

Your day begins with a drive along the naturally beautiful coast of Milne Bay, an island-dotted body of water first explored in 1660. Before long, you’ll arrive at the country’s first cricket ground. Missionaries introduced the game to Papua New Guinea in the 1890s, and it has grown in popularity ever since. 

Continuing on, you’ll approach Daduwe, which requires a short walk through the forest to reach. It’s well worth the effort—here you’ll watch residents prepare meals, weave mats and baskets and perhaps even make canoes. You may also see ancient potshards from the days when various chiefs gathered in Daduwe to feast when traveling the Kula trade route. 

Onward to the nearby village of Bou. Here, you’ll watch a folkloric performance and see children paddling their canoes as they are trained to become skilled for sea ferrying once they reach the age to sail the seas.

Returning to the pier, you’ll pause at the seaside Alotau War Memorial, a black granite monument dedicated to those who lost their lives at the Battle of Milne Bay.
