Fiji Volunteer Programs from $29/day | Most Affordable & Trusted

I have just returned from my IVHQ trip to Fiji.
The IVHQ team did a wonderful job all the way around. From the pre-trip planning to the last night closing ceremony. Nothing was missed.
The local staff was nothing short of awesome. From the greeting at the airport, transportation, accommodations, and the food.
The introduction week was fantastic. We got to see some of the local attractions, such as a waterfall, the sand dunes, the beaches, a kava ceremony. We also learned about the people, the language, and the culture. We enjoyed a cooking class, a dance class and some weaving.
My only regret is, I didn't choose a longer stay.

My 15 year old daughter wanted to go to Fiji with a volunteer program. None of her friends could go so we looked into a family option. IVHQ was perfect!
My best advice is to show up reading about the culture but with no expectations. We signed up for the fantastic week long orientation which included cava ceremony, walk to waterfall, sand dunes, weaving, cooking, language and singing. The local team coordinators were passionate about sharing their culture! What I liked the most is that they looked into the best programs -for example the best access to the waterfall, where the entrance price gets divided evenly among the families in that village. I also loved the Visitor information center lecture before we went on the Sand Dunes hike, learning about the only Fijian National Park and saving the trees and land and how the rugby team trains there. I wish they also had weekend trips and/or information on the best companies to sign up with, that are culturally and environmentally sound. We tried to surf over the weekends (Natadola beach or the river mouth) but it didn't work out from Sigatoka (hiring a taxi coordinating the tide and winds). We should have added days after the program to visit a surf island (and not right before the Fiji Pro).
We did morning childcare (kindergarten) and afternoon sports (ages 1 to 16ish) I can't even begin to tell you how fun it was. Just to mention a few: the kids taught us (Americans) rugby rules and wanted us to play even if we sucked- never giving up on us. We learned games and songs in Fijian. EVERYONE can sing and harmonize- it is absolutely incredible.

I took part volunteering for 3 weeks in the childcare program. IVHQ prepares you well and are organised in getting you ready before you leave. It is so helpful having a program manager who you can connect with any questions you have. Fiji is such a beautiful country and volunteering is such a great way to get to know the culture and be part of helping even in a little way. I never felt unsafe there as the local team prepare you and other volunteers are always looking out for each other. Overall it is a wonderful community there that the local team have created.

I had the best few weeks in Fiji! The local team was phenomenal and always there to help me in any way that they could! I never felt unsafe or unprepared, I always had someone to help me in someway! Everyone was beyond kind and accomodating, and the local staff never failed to be the first to offer a helping hand, whether I needed help around the city or help in my volunteer placement! I loved the volunteer opportunity and the people that I was able to meet! I will definitely be coming again, hopefully very soon!

My experience with IVHQ was amazing! The local team were so kind and supportive. They took us to the town and showed us some beautiful shops to buy sulu and some gifts. We also had a cava ceremony which allowed us to learn so much about the Fijian culture and made us feel so included. The food was also delicious and every meal was provided which was amazing! I had the best time meeting and helping the kids at the kindergartens too. All the kids and teachers were so welcoming and grateful. I had the best time and will definitely be back!

I am so thrilled to have been part of this life changing experience volunteering in an overseas country. The local team was a great support throughout the adventure and were ever ready to help with any queries. It felt great to be directly contributing to an initiative that was helping the local community. Meeting with the children was also one of the best parts of the experience which made the impact feel tangible. In the school we were involved in various tasks such as tiling, scabbing, painting, form work etc.

My experience with ivhq was nothing short of incredible. The local team and coordinators in Fiji offered 100% support and were so incredibly welcoming for me and others staying there. The volunteering itself was fun, safe and relatively organized. The food was great, vibes were great and we had such a chill and fun time. Be prepared to want to stay forever. I would go back to Fiji in a heartbeat. I would definitely recommend this trip to solo travellers who are looking to experience different cultures and experiences!

I volunteered through IVHQ in the Sports Education program for 4 weeks in Korotogo Fiji and had the time of my life! This is the first time I have traveled out of the country by myself as well as it being my first volunteer trip and I would 100% recommend this program! The Local team was amazing and always went the extra mile to insure you were having a good experience, great meals, and coordinated amazing excursions for the volunteers. You really feel like you join their family upon arrival! The programs were all very organized and straight forward with clear guidelines to help you prepare for your contribution! Living alongside the locals and being able to really immerse yourself in the culture and community is absolutely incredible and makes leaving the program so bittersweet! If you are looking to gain a new outlook on life, learn more about yourself or another culture, or have a passion for helping others I would highly encourage you to sign up for a volunteer trip through IVHQ!
