Matangi - Love in Paradise

Fiji tours are known for romance and endless variety. Enjoy pristine coral reefs brimming with unparalleled color, tropical forests draping islands in emerald greenery, fresh cuisine, intimate landscape, and luxurious views out to the water. Your private transfer meets you at the airport on Taveuni Island and escorts you to the boat landing. The water is cool and refreshing. A soft breeze sweeps across the ocean. The scent of fresh sea encompasses the air. When the boat sets off, the wind brushes against your cheeks, and the main island of Viti Levu fades away. The horseshoe island of Matangi comes into view. The immaculate rainforest is untouched. The beaches practically glow with powdery white sand. The sweet scent of hibiscus overtakes the seaside aroma. Palm trees bend over the beach providing luxurious shade.

The main dining area has a conical roof Fijian style with open walls that look out to the indigo water. Your intimate room has traditional bure elegance, with a thatched roof atop a room filled with modern luxury. Across the bay, you can see the rolling hills draped in tropical lushness as you settle into your beachside paradise letting the romance wash over you.

Australia, New Zealand Trip Review: Tasmania, Rotorua, Uluru, Queenstown, Luging, Camel Ride, Wildlife, Hobbiton, Islands, Glowworm Cave, 2 Weeks

We absolutely loved so much of our trip! My kids’ (ages 11 and eight) favorite activities were luging in Rotorua, NZ, and the sunset camel ride in Uluru, AU, while my husband and I were enchanted by Hobbiton and enjoyed exploring a glowworm cave with the owner's father! We all loved Tasmania.

There were a few hiccups. However, we were very happy with all the support the Zicasso travel company's team provided in real time to help us get back on track. 

The overall trip was fantastic. My husband and I appreciated having the team support our adventures, both the highs and the lows. The team members were detailed-oriented. This trip exceeded our expectations and we’re incredibly grateful for their expertise in curating such memorable experiences.

Fiji Travel Review: 2 Weeks

Fiji exceeded all my expectations. We had an amazing itinerary, put together by Zicassso's travel expert. During the planning phase, she was easy to reach despite our 12-hour difference. I had one question during our trip and we easily reached her. She followed up to make sure we did not have any additional questions. A+

We had a fabulous time celebrating my 75th birthday in New Zealand and Bora Bora. Zicasso's travel specialist was fantastic to work with. She was very responsive to all of our questions and concerns and even checked in with us numerous times while we were on the trip. I'd highly recommend her and the travel company when traveling to New Zealand or French Polynesia.

New Zealand, Fiji Travel Review: Canyon Swing, Glacier, Helicopter Ride, Hiking, 15-Night Trip

Zicasso's travel specialist worked with us every step of the way to create an amazing itinerary filled with adventure in New Zealand and luxurious relaxation in Fiji. She helped us adjust the itinerary until it was just right. Unfortunately, there were a couple of excursions that were impacted by the weather and other logistics, which impacted our experience, but it was not her fault and she was willing to try to find other options.
