Fiji: “Tour to Cannibal Cave With Lunch”

I’m on a short stopover in Fiji.

Inspired by some friends’ recent trip, I signed up for a “Tour to Cannibal Cave With Lunch”.  This one went into the Naihehe Cave, supposedly a tribal refuge and sacrifice center, where many people were killed in a final stand in the 19th c. 

I was a little nervous about the tour, but I saw there was one very plump lady on it, so I thought I’d be OK.

Visiting the cave requires wading in through a very low, very defensible, entrance, but then widens out into a large rambling system, with some fine limestone formations, including the so-called “Cannibal Oven”.

Lunch was OK, although the meat tasted suspiciously like beef.
