Our activities coordinator is forever thinking of new and
special activities depending on the season, weather, and interests
of our guests. Some recent examples of activities organized
by the activities coordinator include:
LAIRO CRAB HUNTS - Qamea is known
throughout Fiji as the home of the Lairo crab - a very special
(and tasty) land crab species that live in the steep hills
and mountains of Qamea Island. During the full moon our activities
coordinator accompanies guests at sunset to hunt for the Lairo
as they make their way to the shoreline. You can be assured
of a very tasty Lairo crab entree for lunch the following
day.
GUIDED JUNGLE HIKES AND BIRD WATCHING
- The mountains and valleys of Qamea Island are a maze of
greenery and dense tropical bush. An ancient network of paths
crisscross the island, but it takes an experienced guide to
find one's way. This jungle hike will immerse you in a tropical
rainforest beneath a canopy of towering trees - it is amazing.
Along the way your local guide will explain to you the history
of the Island of Qamea, point out different species of flora
and fauna such as the indigenous Qamea orange dove, and answer
any questions you might have.
STAFF AND GUEST VOLLEYBALL -
Once or twice a week our staff get together for an hour of
volleyball at the end of the work day. Guests are always encouraged
to join in the fun, but watch out, you are not likely to win…
HAND LINE FISHING - This is a
traditional way for villagers to fish for their meals just
along the edge of the reef at low tide. One of our staff will
accompany you to the reef not far from our resort and teach
you the art of Fijian hand line fishing. With any luck you
will return to the resort with dinner, which could include
fish such as the long nose emperor, sweet lips, baracuda,
and travelly.
SEA KAYAKING - New professional
sea kayaks are available at the resort and are free of charge.
It is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon skimming in and
out of secluded Qamea Island bays viewing the coral and tropical
fish. For trips of more than a few hours, our activities coordinator
can plot out an itinerary for you and let you know the scenic
stops and villages along the way, in addition to making sure
you have a picnic lunch to enjoy on a secluded beach. We can
provide a gourmet picnic lunch which you can enjoy on one
of Qamea's secluded beaches.
