点评:We were staying at Koro Sun and had actually been advised not to book tours outside of the resort. But as beautiful as the resort was, we felt like we were missing something. We wanted to experience the real Fiji—to meet the people, understand the culture, and get a glimpse of what everyday life there is actually like.
Booking with Muanivatu Trails turned out to be one of the best decisions we made on our entire trip.
We initially booked their lunch and tea ceremony experience, which was already incredible. We had a facial, swam beneath a beautiful waterfall, met wonderful villagers, and shared in a traditional kava ceremony. We thought that was the highlight.
Then it got even better.
We were offered the opportunity to stay overnight in the village, and that experience completely changed our trip.
That evening, we ate dinner with the villagers while they sang and played guitar late into the night. In the morning, we woke to roosters crowing and heard children singing as they made their way toward the beach. We watched them laugh and play, jumping over the mangroves, before sitting down to a traditional Fijian breakfast.
Then we spent the day fishing from shore with Nana, gathering coconuts, chili peppers, lemons, herbs, and spices for our lunch. We even caught a mud crab near the shoreline—and everything we gathered and caught was cooked into our meal.
It was simple, beautiful, joyful and completely authentic.
There are trips you remember because of the places you saw, and then there are experiences that actually stay with you and change the way you see the world. This was one of those experiences.
The people welcomed us with such incredible warmth and generosity that by the time we left, we didn’t feel like tourists. We felt incredibly fortunate to have been invited into their lives, even for such a short time.
If you are going to Fiji and want more than a resort experience, I cannot recommend Muanivatu Trails highly enough.
This was the Fiji we had hoped to find—and I would go back tomorrow.
翻译:我们当时下榻在科罗桑度假村,其实度假村方面建议我们不要预订度假村外的旅游项目。虽然度假村本身美得令人陶醉,但我们还是觉得缺少了些什么。我们渴望体验真正的斐济——结识当地民众、了解他们的文化,看看那里的日常生活究竟是什么模样。
最终,选择预订Muanivatu Trails的服务,成了我们整个旅途中做出的最正确的决定之一。
起初,我们预订了他们的午餐与茶道体验服务。本来就已经棒得不可思议了。我们做了面部护理,在美丽的瀑布下游泳,结识了友善的村民们,还参与了传统的卡瓦仪式。我们原以为那就是这次旅行的亮点了。
然而,事情变得更加美好。
我们获得了在村子里过夜的机会,而这段经历彻底改变了我们的旅程。
那天晚上,我们与村民们共进晚餐,他们一直唱着歌、弹着吉他直到深夜。第二天清晨……我们醒来时听到公鸡的啼鸣,还听见孩子们唱着歌朝海滩走去。我们看着他们嬉笑玩耍,在红树林间跳跃,随后便坐下来享用传统的斐济式早餐。
接着,我们一整天都和娜娜一起在岸边垂钓,还采摘了椰子、辣椒、柠檬、香草以及各种香料作为午餐的食材。我们甚至还在岸边捉到了一只泥蟹——我们采集和捕获的所有食材最终都变成了美味的佳肴。
一切如此简单,却又如此美好。快乐而纯粹真实。
有些旅行让人铭记,是因为沿途看到的风景;而有些经历则真正留在心中,改变了我们看待世界的方式。这次旅行就属于后者。
当地人以无与伦比的热情与慷慨欢迎我们,以至于离别时我们已不再觉得自己是游客。能获邀进入他们的生活,哪怕只是短短一段时间,我们都深感幸运。如果你要去斐济,且希望获得的不仅仅是传统的度假体验,那么我极力推荐穆阿尼瓦图徒步路线。
这就是我们梦寐以求的斐济——我明天就愿意再去一次。
