Deep in the south pacific, the island nation of Fiji rises

from the sea, a paradise attracting thrill seekers and

lovers of the natural world. Fiji features famed coral reef

wilderness, tropical mountainous jungles, deep rushing rivers

and volcanic landscapes. Many flock to Fiji for its beauty

and its beaches, but this trip shows you the trails less

travelled as you immerse yourself in the culture of native

Fijians. Through service opportunities, you’ll get to know

the people that make this place so special. You’ll also

explore the more remote wilderness locations of this island

paradise from the underwater depths to the mountain peaks.

“There is something so special about the simple moments

spent on Moondance. Waking up to the sound of waves

crashing or chickens calling and jamming out to music with

my best friends are moments that make Moondance unique.

It lets us access experiences we never imagined.”

Haley Krubert, 16, Chicago, IL

Meet your group in Los

Angeles at LAX airport.

Fly together to Nadi,

Fij i. Upon arriving, orient

yourself to the South

Pacific, and travel to

your first night together

in Pacific Harbor.

Awaken in the beautiful Pacific Harbor and

begin your SCUBA certif ication training. For

the next four days you’ll learn to properly and

safely take oxygen below the surface with you

and breathe underwater. You’ll navigate the

deep water dive, earning an all access pass to

an entirely different world. The barrier reefs

of Fij i are known for their biodiversity, unique

coral reef systems and technicolor creatures.

Once you have this certif ication, you’ll have

the skills to dive all over the world, but you’ll

always hold a special memory of your first

deep diving exploration in Fij i.

You’ll spend the next few days living in a local

village on the banks of the river. Here you’ll

immerse yourself in the culture of this small

and vibrant community as you stay in homestays

and work on service projects. You’ll tend to the

matters most pressing, and could be working

on anything from painting houses, to repairing

gathering places, to playing with school

children. You’ll have time to connect with the

families, explore cooking and culture in your

homestay, and deepen your connection to your

group, and to your adventure.

Travel from the inland rivers and tropical jungle

back to the southern coast near Namatakula

where you’ll prepare for two days of surfing.

Professional guides will teach you the art

of this ancient south pacific pastime, and

you’ll learn to paddle and stand up on moving

mountains of water. Surfing is a sacred act in

the south pacific, and there is no more idyllic

shoreline to learn. In the evenings, try your

hand at a stand-up paddle board and get a new

vantage point of the clear turquoise waters. On

the evening of your second day, you’ll begin the

journey back to Nadi, where you’ll enjoy a f inal

celebratory banquet with your team.

Saying goodbye to the connections

you’ve made. Get on the stunning

Navua River. This thrilling waterway

features quick rapids, steep

volcanic canyons and waterfalls

deep in the tropical jungle. One of

the most picturesque rivers in the

world, this bright blue waterway is

also one of the most fun. Navigate

the rapids with your team and learn

the art of white water travel among

amazing scenery.

Land back in Los Angeles, and

spend one final night together

before catching your final

flight home!
