Tokoriki is in the Fijian
Archipelago in the heart of the fabled South Pacific. The
archipelago is comprised of 330 magnificent islands spread
out over more than a million square kilometres of tropical
ocean. The idyllic islands of Fiji are a 6 hour flight from
Honolulu, a 4 hour flight from Sydney and a 3 hour flight
from Auckland.
Thirty five kilometres off the west coast of Nadi
(pronounced "Nandy") - Fiji's international gateway -
Tokoriki is the northern most island in the Mamanuca group
and borders the famous Yasawa Islands. Away from the hustle
and the bustle of the other larger island resorts in the
group, you have the feeling of being on your own private
island retreat when you are here. |

Tokoriki Island
Resort is proud to be a founding member of the
Mamanuca Environment Society (MES). As a founding
member of the MES, Tokoriki Island Resort is
committed to improving and protecting the local
environment through awareness and education. Our
General Manager, Erin McCann is the Co-Chairman of
the society. The Mamanuca Environment Society was
founded in March 2003 and currently employs a full
time Marine Biologist/Project Manager. The Project
Manager collects data, monitors the reef and marine
systems in our area, liaises with the local
stakeholders and spends a great deal of her time
educating the school children and adults in the
local communities of the Mamanucas in best practice
guidelines and ways to improve the sustainability of
the surrounding environment.
It is a fact that human impact is a contributing
factor to the degradation of the environment.
Through awareness, education and a huge investment
in our infrastructure, Tokoriki hopes that we can
improve, if not reverse any detrimental effects that
the resort and its guests have on the beautiful
surroundings we have here in the Mamanuca Islands of
Fiji. |

his recent visit to Fiji, Prince Charles made time
in his busy itinerary to meet all of the Executive
Committee members of MES. Tokoriki's owner, Andrew
Turnbull and outgoing General Manager Erin McCann
had the great privilege of meeting HRH. Prince
Charles also took time to meet the school children
who are benefitting from MES's environmental
programs. |
