Biology In Fiji
Due to the constantly evolving situation with the pandemic, programs will be flexible and may be subject to potential modifications.
COURSE OVERVIEW
Traveling to Fiji was a life changing experience for me. It gave me a new perspective of the world.
Discover the perfect location to bring the world of marine biology to life. Abundant in colourful coral reefs, white sand beaches, and untouched natural environments, Fiji offers amazing opportunities for hands-on educational experience and ecotourism adventures. Go on a guided snorkel tour of a coral farm and learn how to identify a wide variety of fish and coral before taking part in a coral replantation project.
Then have the opportunity to participate in the tagging and releasing of turtles into the wild with an environmental officer. Enjoy a traditional dinner with a Fijian band and fire dance show to highlight your night.
