About Vorovoro
From Tribewanted
Contents |
The Island
Vorovoro is a spectacular eruption of land; a short plane, bus and boat ride from Fiji’s international airport. Over 200 acres of cliff-topped jungle and palm-fringed paradise surges out of the crystal blue South Pacific ocean. This Island will be the tribe’s home for three years as they write their own adventure story.
Chief Tui Mali and his family welcome the tribe to their idyllic and dramatic home, where freshly caught seafood and island-grown fruits and vegetables are served daily.
A few minutes boat-ride North of its calm shores lies the third largest reef in the world – an undiscovered underwater Eden. Close by breaks an off-shore wave that will capture the imagination of surfers and adventurers alike.
Fiji
Over 300 tropical islands form the South Pacific’s most popular adventure escape. With its desert-islands, coral reefs, lush jungles and jagged mountains, Fiji is a land that leaves you breathless and exhilarated. But it is what is beyond its dramatic and enchanting environments that provides Fiji’s biggest attraction; its friendly, welcoming and energetic people make Fiji a country full of big hearts, wide smiles and exotic culture.
Transportation
Round the World tickets from Europe and the US include Fiji as a free stop-over on the way out or return from New Zealand and Australia. Tribewanted provides a full travel service to Fiji for tribe members to use if they wish including ‘climate neutral’ ATOL bonded flights, travel insurance and accommodation on arrival in Nadi. Vorovoro itself lies just 2 hours travelling time from Nadi, Fiji’s international airport. A short flight over the outer islands and reefs, followed by a 20 minute drive and 25 minute boat ride takes you to Vorovoros main beach.
Environment
The tribe will make only a positive impact on the Island environment and the local Fijian communities. This will be set out at each stage of the tribe’s development with the aim to blend those that live and visit the Island seamlessly with its ecosystems and people. To achieve this balance will require careful planning by the tribe and its 12 chiefs, taking into consideration the knock-on effects of every decision. The Chiefs and tribe will be ably advised by a selection of experts in all areas of environmental and community development.
Island development
There are many areas that will be creatively decided upon and developed by the tribe including: clean water, power, waste disposal, accommodation, washing, food, drink, entertainment, adventure activities, sports, community & environmental projects. The tribewanted team and the 12 elected chiefs will initiate proposals on tribewanted.com for the development of the Island. The tribe will then discuss and decide what happens. Potential interesting developments already identified by the founding chiefs include:
- Cliff-top lagoon & zip-slide
- Sunset Stage and Beach Bar
- Two-tiered Tribal Base
- Island Thatched Bures & Sky view showers
- Jungle Sports Arena
- Scuba & Surf School
- Secret Beach chill-out area
- Fruit & Vegetable Orchard
