ZIP FIJI - FIJI'S NEWEST ADVENTURE

Brand new to the Pacific Harbour region, Zip Fiji offers three different tours. 

 

The ZIP LINE COURSE consists of transversing from treetop to treetop with specialised climbing equipment over a series of eight thrilling horizontal cables that are connected between the jungle treetops. 

 

On each tree there is a platform on which you make stops to enjoy the scenery of the rainforest canopy.  The tour has eight ziplines upto 200 metres long and 30 metres above the ground with speeds upto 50km/hr.

Safety is the key.  All guides have been extensively trained and the company only uses only the top quality climbing equipment in the world that is regularly and rigorously inspected and maintained.  Knowlegable and caring guides assist our guests every step of the away.

ROCK STAR ALANIS MORRISETTE VISITS RABI

International rock star Alanis Morissette stole the hearts of locals when she chartered a Savusavu-based cruise boat for a humanitarian tour of cyclone damaged islands in the northern division last week.  Having slipped into the country unnoticed, Morissette impressed the workers of Tui Tai Ad-venture Cruises with her down to earth and caring nature. 

On January 4, she docked at Rabi to visit the islanders affected by Cyclone Daman.  None of them knew who she was nor were they able to pronounce her name.  Morissette is the best selling female rock artist in history, having sold 60 million albums worldwide and reaching critical universal acclaim with her 1995 album Jagged Little Pill.  She was very down to earth and a caring person and she really loved Fiji. She said that right now Fiji was the best place she had visited, Tui Tai co-owner Morika Young said.

On Rabi, she applauded the youths who put on a special show for her, telling in song and dance how their people came to Fiji.  Morissette, who was joined by two friends, met each and every youngster, before handing out toys, clothes and medicine.  She returned the next morning with five new wheelchairs, personally delivering them to handicapped islanders.  She also briefly met with Rabi Island Council members before sailing back into Natewa Bay in Vanua Levu                                                                                      [source – Fiji Times]
