Family Fun in Fiji!

From Last Days on Vomo Beckon by Travelling Family

If kayaking in clear blue waters, snorkeling with colorful fish, fishing for Barracuda, or just kicking back with your toes in the sand sounds like your kind of vacation, you’ll find what you’re looking for on beautiful Vomo Island in Fiji. This is an especially great spring getaway for folks traveling with young children, as the resorts available on the island offer babysitting services, toys to keep the kids occupied, and plenty of other fun family activities. Traveling Family spent 10 days in Fiji unearthing the many treasures of Vomo Island – with two youngsters in tow, the parents have some great advice for other travelers taking vacation with their children.

Here’s an excerpt from their blog, Last Days on Vomo Beckon:

“I would recommend Vomo Island to anyone. It is small enough to be intimate, but big enough to be interesting. There is plenty to do here, or you can just watch the sea all day if you want. The snorkeling is fantastic, it is surrounded by a reef so perfect for this. If you have kids I suggest you book the services of a babysitter as they are excellent with them. If I came again I would book the babysitter for the whole week rather than in small chunks.

If you are on honeymoon or here on an anniversary it is very private. I don’t think the kids destroy the peace of the place, though I am biased, and we are the only family here currently. The bures are secluded enough that you don’t really see your neighbors unless you want to. I think the other couples here are quite friendly with each other, we are somewhat apart from them having the children with us as we don’t go on many of the activities such as snorkeling trips or sunset cruises.” (more…)

Steve, one of the members of Travelling Family, is a fisherman, and tries to make a catch whenever he can. He found awesome fishing in Vomo – check out this amazing shot which proves some “fish stories” are true! Here’s what Travelling Family write about the fishing in Vomo:

“Steve has returned from fishing, complete with a Dolphin Fish and a Barracuda. They were out until dusk, all three of them have beaming smiles on their faces, so looks like they have had fun. Steve already wants to return to Fiji and do some more deep sea fishing. I think the guys from Vomo also want him to come back, seems like he gave them all the fishing bug!” (more…)
