Coconut lessons in Paradise

Join us for a cultural lesson in Paradise.

Watch as our limber Paradise Team Member climbs the tall coconut tree to pick a fresh green coconut. It’s truly amazing to watch!

Then, learn how to open a coconut - Fiji style - and learn how to make a simple dish for the coconut flesh and juice. All you need is a coconut, lime, water, onion, tomato and a little chili for spice!

So interesting to learn the culture of a hidden Paradise.
