Fiji fun for older kids – Outdoor activities they’ll love
Our top 7 activities designed to keep your older children busy on island.
Club V – From 10 years plus – Kidults space
Club V at Vomo Island offers a unique experience for teenagers aged 10+. Featuring the perfect mix of fun and adventure, Club V allows teens to explore their independence while having an unforgettable stay on the island.
The program is packed with activities catering to all interests, such as stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking through stunning waters just offshore and more. For those looking for a more cultural experience, there are also Fijian cooking classes where they can learn traditional recipes or weaving demonstrations, which give them an insight into the local culture. Sporty teens can have fun playing rugby and other fast-paced island sports with our ocean play crew or take on the challenge of our Mt Vomo Charity climb.
In addition to these exciting activities, Club V also features plenty of entertainment options. There is no shortage of fun – from beachfront bonfires, movie nights, and discos to karaoke competitions. It’s their space and ‘me’ time while on holiday.
To ensure we continue to be one of the best places to stay in Fiji with kids we’ve made sure to continue catering for older kids who may not have a strong desire to be seen as a kid anymore. :)
Over the years, we have watched on proudly as our return guest’s children have grown beautifully into young tweens, teens and then young adults themselves.
We’d like to think we’ve played our part in shaping the type of person they’ve become.
Like a rite of passage, we sense when the time comes for our cherished guest babes to leave the safety of our Baby Butlers and Kids Club environs and venture out into the big VOMO world – armed with independence and imagination yet still with a close connection with our staff.
As happens in any Fijian village, we continue to watch our older kids closely as they learn to explore all the island has to offer. At their own pace. In their own time. Our watchful eyes giving them the luxury of freedom while still feeling safe.
Screens down, they’ll be distracted only by the thoughts of tomorrow’s fun.
Top 7 things to do for “but I’m not a kid anymore” tweens and teens.
- Island Kayak Adventures – Exhiliarting guided kayaking tours. Where one of our buddies will guide the trip to mamanuca beach located on the opposite side of the island.

- The Survivor Challenge – We take them to a beach and teach them real survivor skills, like building a shelter from materials to be found on the beach, foraging for coconuts and show them how to open and eat one.
- The Amazing Race – This thriller of a game takes your little grown ups through the length and breadth of the island where teams are tested for there teamwork, endurance and agility with challenges such an running down a 15 metre beach with a teacup to fetch water to fill a bucket, or collecting coconuts as a team, and tossing 5 through a hoop before your next clue is given. Lucrutive prize pool at the end.
