Fiji fantastic

I recommend volunteering with ivhq in fiji, the experience was absolutely fantastic, the people, way of life and experiences where great. The way it was run was faultless, the support and guidance was always available. I have made life long friends and things that have changed me for ever. The accommodation was great, clean, fit for purpose and very safe. The programme accommodates people of all ages, backgrounds and ethnic groups. I would highly rate this as a place to volunteer with. Thank you ivhq

Supportive staff

Information prior to departure was comprehensive and helpful. I understood what was likely to happen when I was overseas

On site, staff were friendly and supportive, as well as keeping everyone safe. Accommodation, meals and transport were all very acceptable, and there was plenty of opportunuity to mix with people of other cultures, countries, languages and ages.

Volunteering overseas is a great way to gain confidence on a personal basis, as well as having an opportunity to support people who are less well off than yourself

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Go without expectations. Keep an open mind. Have fun
Pros
  • Meeting people from around the world

Must do!!

I felt very supported while in Fiji, I had no trouble finding where I needed to be. The local staff was amazing and even with Visa changing right before my trip I had guidance through each step of the process. We were well provided for, and I had a lot of fun meeting a ton of new people while there. The opportunities to experience the culture there and also have local guides was the way to go. You are able to do as much or as little as you would like, and days are extremely flexible outside of school hours. As someone who has never really traveled outside of the US much, especially solo, I would highly recommend!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would have spent longer in Fiji and spent a couple of weeks after the program exploring the other islands.
Pros
  • Learned a ton
  • Met so many cool new people
  • Beautiful views and fun travel experiences
What other participants should know
  • (knew this going into it) rainy season so school was cancelled for 3 days
  • Friendly cockroach in the room (not a big deal to me personally)
  • School days felt short and quick! Only 3 hours

IVHQ support

The support from IVHQ was excellent. They made sure we were ready for our trip and we knew what we would encounter. It was easy to reach them by email and were always happy to answer. I would defenitly recommend this program and tell people not to doubt themselves and jump in the experience. I will remember this trip for the rest of my life. It also changed me as a human being. Since you live like a local, you get to experience the country in another way. It opens up your eyes on realities you are not used to.

What was your funniest moment?
All those funny questions from the kids. Especially when this 10 years old kid asked me if we ate snow in Canada and then told me it would be safer to heat it before eating it.
Pros
  • Cultural impression
  • Local impact
  • Memories

Life-changing experience

From the beginning, my volunteer trip to Fiji with IVHQ was amazing. I participated in the teaching program, where I was assigned to a class at a local school - in my case, year 5 - and gave them new learning experiences. I mainly taught English, geography, and art classes, and it was such a fun challenge to find creative ways to give the children engaging lessons. It challenged me in new ways, but I loved seeing the energy from the students when they were finally being given creative outlets with my lessons. I also loved being completely immersed in the Fijian culture, all the way down to becoming friends with some locals. If anyone was on the fence about participating in an IVHQ program, as long as you go in with no expectations, the experience will change your life.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Come in with NO expectations. I met a few people who came in with expectations (even though IVHQ specifically says to come in with none) and they weren’t as pleased as the rest of us who truly came in to embrace the moment.
Pros
  • Culture immersion
  • Community relationships
  • New adventures
What other participants should know
  • Thin mattresses
  • Not always enough food if there were sometimes more volunteers than other weeks
  • Bus system not always cash-friendly, but bus cards not always given for shorter stays - made for awkward scenarios to catch the bus

Best experience in Fiji

My volunteer trip to Fiji had a really positive impact on me, especially through the childcare and sports programs I worked in. Spending time with the kids, helping with daily activities, and supporting their learning showed me how meaningful even small acts of care can be. Coaching and playing sports with them also helped build confidence, teamwork, and genuine connections. The experience opened my eyes to the importance of community, patience, and giving back, and it’s something that will stay with me for a long time

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I definitely recommend staying for two weeks, especially if you’re adding the intro week. The intro week gives you time to adjust, learn about the culture, explore the area, and get comfortable before starting your actual volunteer placement. By the second week, you feel more confident, more settled, and able to make a bigger impact. It also gives you time to build real connections with other volunteers and the community. Overall, doing the intro week followed by your volunteer week makes the whole experience smoother, more meaningful, and way more enjoyable.

  • Friends

Construction Program in Fiji

Excellent communication from the local team. The accommodations were not luxurious, but they were clean and well-maintained. The food featured a lot of rice, but that is to be expected in Fiji. There is a lot of places to visit around the volunteer house, including a beach right across the street! I felt useful at the Construction Project, doing a lot of different things, including painting, welding, digging, and helping out the local staff of the school when needed. I feel this is a very worthwhile project in a very friendly and welcoming environment.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I found a blue sea star. I have lived by the ocean all my life, and have seen hundreds of sea stars. I have never seen a blue one. I wandered out toward the reef during low tide and found many unusual things, but the two most unusual were sea snakes and BLUE sea stars. Wow.
Pros
  • The people
  • The variety of construction and maintenance projects
What other participants should know
  • None.

IVHQ FIJI

Had the best 5 weeks in Fiji, the local team were the most welcoming people ever, felt so welcome and supported from day 1! The other volunteers out there felt like family, and I’ve made memories and friends for life! Went alone at 17 and felt so comfortable and at home, even so far away. The program was so fun, and it felt like we were really part of something important! Would say just do it to anyone considering it, you will have the best time!

IVHQ's pre-departure advice was so helpful, too!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Kava !

Community Questions

I did not travel with my family for this trip, but my oldest child is eleven and I would for sure want to take him on the next volunteer experience. However, I don; think I would take any of my kids younger than that. It also depends on where you go.
