Just a ten minute walk from The Outrigger is Kula Eco Park. The park is the environmental showplace of the South Pacific and worth a visit. Imagine a cool green forest nestled in a small valley. A stream wanders between the trees, making its way through the valley to the Pacific Ocean. Trees bearing strange fruits, nuts and blossoms tower above the valley floor filtering the sun. The banks of the stream are dotted with brightly colored flowers and shrubs. Kula Eco Park is a delightful experience and is dedicated to the conservation of Fiji's indigenous environment.

Beautiful Fiji The evening of March 26th, you will be transferred to the Nadi Airport for your return flight to Los Angeles.
