Girls! We are so excited to bring you our second Girls Trip to Fiji, and this time on a different, tropical Fijian Island. This trip is for those who love the ocean, love being in the water, and want to spend a week diving insane reefs, learning how to spearfish, spearfishing (if you would like), plenty of adventures, waterfront dinners, relaxing, sipping cocktails, doing yoga, doing yoga while sipping cocktails, and connecting with other likeminded chicks on the most stunning island.

We’re so excited to meet you all and share this epic week with you! Limited spots available.

- 8 nights oceanfront accommodation & breakfast each day
- Molchanovs Wave 1 & Wave 2 Freediving Courses and Certifications (you can do both on the trip if you haven’t yet done your Wave 1)
- 5 Freediving line diving boat trips with freediving instructors
- Boat trip and lunch on a Sand-Cay!! (a white sand tidal island surrounded by crystal clear water)

- Daily Yoga Sessions (run by an epic instructor) overlooking the ocean
- Learn to Spearfish with a Spearfishing Workshop ran by experienced Spearfishing Instructors (only if you’re interested)
- Freediving Bonus workshops (Breathing, Equalisation, Mindfulness)

We're convinced that this spot is one of the best places in the world to freedive. This is why:

- Freediving sites offering pool like conditions free from swell, waves and current
- Clear blue water with incredible visibility
- 5 minute boat ride to freedive spot
- Warm ocean temperatures (28+ degrees celsius)
- Healthy coral reefs with incredible coral coverage and marine life
- Friendly locals

Whether you are totally fresh at freediving, or a seasoned freediver looking to get deeper, we believe we’ve created a trip that caters to all levels! If you don't have all the gear, you will be able to hire all of the gear for a small fee in Fiji. You also don't have to bring any dive weights with you, we will supply these for you. Here's what to expect from the week:

Freediving Courses 
A large portion of the trip will be spent doing Molchanovs Certified Freediving Courses. This involves a mixture of freediving on a line with a max ratio of 3 students to 1 instructor, as well as theory sessions and freediving workshops. If you have had no experience freediving, you will be able to do your Wave 1 Course, and potentially your Wave 2 Course. If you have done a Wave 1 Course (or equivalent) you will be able to do your Wave 2 Course and start preparing for Wave 3. While none of the theory sessions or dive sessions are mandatory, you'll be able to soak up so much information, and leave as a very confident freediver! 

Our freediving site for the course line dives is just a 5 minute boat ride from your front door, very close to the shore and isn't affected by current, tides and rarely wind. It is the most perfect place to learn to freedive with clear, 28 degree water. 

Spearfishing Workshop
If you've always wanted to either learn how to Spearfish, or really improve your spearfishing skills, our spearfishing instructors and guides will be running a beginner Spearfishing workshop to help answer any and all of your questions! This workshop will start at the very beginning and run you through gear, how to hunt, tips and tricks, and so much more all the way through to how to fillet and prepare your catch. 

Reef Freediving and Photography Sessions
We will be heading out to several stunning and crystal clear coral reefs for some fun diving and to get heaps of photos and videos!

Rest Day Activities 
We've found that after 3 days of freediving, a couple of rest days really help you to recover so that you're in peak form for more diving after the rest days! Not only this, but Savusavu has so many amazing activities and places to explore not only in the water, but on land too.

There will be two rest days in the middle of the trip, where you can choose to do whatever you'd like. There will be options to go on a spearfishing trip, explore some waterfalls, snorkel out the front of the resort, go on a river float or just kick back and relax and get a massage at the resort. We will most likely be spending time as a group on the rest days anyway, but for those wanting to try spearfishing, we will be there to give you advice!

Cost
The below prices are the total cost per person depending on which accommodation option you choose, and the price includes everything listed above in ‘includes’. 

To secure your spot on the trip, it's a $500 deposit. The balance is payable up to 60 days before the trip start date. The room types and accomodation is explained below. 

Ocean View Bure (Private Room & Private Outdoor Shower) $3150 AUD pp

Day 5 “Rest Day” - May 23rd
We like to split our days of diving up so your body gets a good chance to rest and recover, and so you get to explore more of Savusavu! There are so many activities that you can do, such as go spearfishing, take some cold drinks and do a river float, visit a local Fijiian village, or explore one of the many stunning tropical waterfalls. 

Although this is a rest day, we'll still most likely all want to do stuff together as a group, and so we can help to organise whatever activity everyone is feeling on the day!

If you are wanting to spend the day spearfishing, we can help you to organise a local boat to take you to some insane reefs for spearfishing. We have been to these reefs before, and there are so many incredible fish around. We will most likely be spending the day spearfishing, so whoever is keen to come can join us and we will help you out!

If we are successful spearfishing, we will be having a catch & cook dinner for anyone who wants to come, teaching you how to fillet and prepare your catch!
