... with Duncan Creighton
Duncan's home is located at the top what is known as Mission Hill. To get there guests can either walk up the well-known 199 steps or take the easier walk through the beautiful settlement of Kalaba. At the house Duncan, who is something of a legend in Levuka, will formally welcome the guests. He is giving a presentation on the history of the area and his house, which is over one hundred years old, including a tour through his house and his beautiful botanical garden. Another attraction are his parrots and iguanas (a great photo opportunity). Refreshments will be provided.

...with 'Bubu' Kara
Bubu Kara is the direct descendent of Silinatoba Saurara, the 2nd Fijian man who arrived on the island. She will share with you the story of how her ancestor arrived on Ovalau, and the history of her village. Bubu Kara tells this story in a cultural Fijian atmosphere. Traditional Fijian refreshments and hospitality will be offered..
