Unforgettable Things To Do And See In Fiji

8. A Symbolic Ceremony: Vilavilairevo

Unknown

Vilavilairevo makes for another incredible opportunity for those who find their way to Fiji as it is rooted deep in the native culture. Translating to ‘Fire Ceremony,’ the practice of walking across burning hot stones in a line is a significant practice said to be a gift from the gods. Originally starting as a traditional ceremony on Beqa, this practice has branched out to many other portions of Fiji as a travel attraction drawing thousands to the shores annually to test their courage and strength in the face of adversity. Historically, firewalkers are supposedly required to avoid eating coconuts and a couple of other foods to perform the walk properly without burns. Seemingly, many individuals make it through the walk unharmed, which is why this has become such a popular event. With a unique name many will find enticing, the next stop provides an opportunity to see the vibrant flora Fiji is famous for in the travel industry.
