BUDGET OPTIONS - HOMESTAY TO REEF

Meet the Ringgold Divers

The friendliest Fijian homestays

Authentic Fiji - Personal Connections

Meet Joiji and Alisi

Fiji is one the nicest places to enjoy the vibe of village life and dive on a budget. Authentic experiences with the daily lives of Fijians can be very rewarding. Our country has a rich, happy culture and we enjoy telling stories over a kava bowl.

Fijians are good fun, kind and will be genuinely interested in where you are from, your life and are happy to arrange things for you without the price tag of hotels.

Ringgold divers are very experienced divers with a long boat which can get you out to the beautiful Vatu - I - Ra marine park and the local dive sites at the best rates.

The ebb and flow of live in any Fijian village focuses on a few key daily rituals. The consumption of the freshest tropical fruits, a full range of locally grown Islander veggies, some kava drinking and laughter. Beach volley ball or chucking a rugby ball over a bamboo goal post before refreshing yourself with a husked fresh coconut.

Rakiraki is a pleasant quiet town on a breezy peninsular set amid sugar cane farms.
