Westin Fire Walking

Become immersed in the Fijian culture at a seaside Westin resort where you will watch entertainment that includes tribesmen walking over white-hot stones. As an introduction to the local culture, you will be treated to a meke performance of songs and dances that convey Fiji’s history, legends and stories. The show will be a mesmerizing look into traditional life on the island. As revealing as meke is, few performances can compare to fire walking barefoot across a bed of steaming stones heated to a blistering temperature. As you will see, the fire-walking Sawau tribesmen from Beqa island will fearlessly perform the feat without suffering even the slightest injury. It is a centuries-old ceremony and amazingly the reason why the firewalkers aren’t burned is yet to be determined. Following this fascinating performance, you will enjoy a bit of free time at the resort, a quintessential South Pacific setting. Afterwards, you can shop for authentic Fijian goods at Jack’s of Fiji and Tappoo.
