We have been recognized for our dedication to education with our staff, guests, and action through sustainable business practices and increasing environmental awareness.
“The improving health of the reef and growing clam population have been both encouraging and inspiring. However, it is working alongside the local Fijians, watching them learn and take a genuine interest in their ocean and adjoining reef system as they become stewards of this precious environment, that is what I find most gratifying.”
