Join a Coral Planting Workshop
Give back to Fiji’s incredible reefs by joining a coral planting workshop around Nadi and the nearby Mamanuca Islands. Partnering with local NGOs and dive centers, you’ll learn how coral restoration works, why it matters, and how even travelers can help rebuild damaged reef ecosystems with hands-on activities.
Eco-Conscious Adventures
What to Expect
Workshops usually start with an educational session on coral biology, climate change, and the challenges facing Pacific reefs. Then, you’ll gear up with reef-safe snorkeling or diving equipment and help transplant coral fragments onto specially prepared frames or natural reef structures under the guidance of marine biologists.
It’s a hands-on way to leave a positive footprint while exploring the underwater beauty of Fiji. Many tours include time to spot colorful reef fish and even sea turtles, making this both a learning and adventure experience.
How to Join
Coral planting activities are usually run by NGOs, dive operators, or hotels committed to marine conservation. You can ask about availability at your Nadi accommodation or check with local dive shops near Denarau Marina and Wailoaloa Beach.
Combine Your Marine Experience
Before or after your workshop, consider snorkeling the pristine reefs of the Mamanuca Islands or relaxing on Wailoaloa Beach to round out a perfect eco-friendly day.
