Where to Book Witness Firewalkers On Beqa Island:
Beqa Island
Another incredible sight to behold and thing to do while visiting Fiji is witnessing people walk through fire. There is arguably no better place to witness this important ritual than on Beqa Island. The tradition of firewalking in Fiji is said to have originated on this small island that is not far off the coast of Fiji’s main island. Traditions of firewalking here date back as far as 500 years.
Reach this remote and tranquil location and witness first-hand this impressive and sacred ritual. While this might not have the showmanship of a Meke dance, it is a truly magnificent feat of bravery in an authentic and intimate setting. It is worth the price of entry and the time it takes to arrive at the location.
