Activities
From Tribewanted
This page is dedicated to the variety of activities currently on the island and the huge potential for new activities. Information about activities will give new members an idea of what to expect and inspire them to think of new and exiciting opportunities to make Vorovoro a diverse, sustainable and enjoyable experience for the Tribe, the environmental and the Fijian people.
Vorovoro provides an opportunity to turn a day to day existence into an unforgettable experience. The most exciting thing is that the tribe will create the experience themselves: whether its the style of living, the type of entertainment, or the range if activities. Be it a dawn yoga session on the secret beach, a tribal gig on sunset stage, a global debate, a mini-island Olympics, volunteering on a local community project, mastering a Fijian warrior dance, snorkelling, diving, surfing, reading, writing and recoding music, or simply chilling out in a hammock with a cold beer – Vorovoro and the tribe have the potential to create an unparalleled experience.
