TURTLES!!! This was the only place I had to visit outside the resort while we were away and that is purely because you can feed turtles. I know I say we were going because Maddie would love it, but deep down I know it was for me.
Kula is the only wildlife park in Fiji and offers a glimpse of the rare and endangered species of geckos and birds, as well as some snakes, fish, peacocks, ducks, frogs and turtles. They are attempting to breed and reintroduce into the wild some of the Geckos that they suspect there are only about 17 left of, and that had only been discovered in 2010. The park was an easy walk around with walk through aviaries and a high rain forest type walk. The turtle feeding was pretty good and Maddie sure did enjoy it. I held onto Maddie and the camera so the shots aren't great, but it meant that I didn't have to touch the smelly food. These turtles are expected to be released back into the wild sometime soon.
The Eco park was a good visit, although the staff at the resort could have dropped us off at 10 when it opened rather than 930, but the driver seemed to be in a hurry, as he is the only one who didn't wait for us in both visits to the country. Taxi's are fairly cheap in Fiji and the driver normally does wait for you to finish what you are doing, its very nice knowing you don't have to find another to return home.
