Thursday, January 16, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm – Exotic Fiji

January 4, 2020 by Boston Flora

Located in the Southern Pacific, Fiji is an island nation that embodies the beauty of the Pacific. An archipelago of over 300 islands, these emerald jewels are a traveler’s paradise. With a wide range of environments to explore from rainforests, to white-water rivers to coral reefs, the island-nation has a lot to offer visitors, including her greatest asset—her people.

Join Ethan Gordon on January 16 from 6:30 – 8:30 at Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary, 280 Eliot Street in Natick for a look into Fiji, including wildlife, island attractions, cultural scenes, and an inside look at some of Fiji’s most exclusive (and beautiful) private island resorts. Ethan is a photojournalist who has visited Fiji several times for his magazine work. His specialty as an underwater photographer will bring a different view of this ocean paradise as we see the colorful life beneath the waves.
