The water is extracted from underground right at the bottling plant. The whole complex is built around the underground boreholes from where the water is extracted.
Your bungalow was amazing!!!!! I appreciate you sharing the reality with the murky/dirty water. I laughed when you were showing the potholes on the roads...our streets are just as bad where I live in California ha ha. I sure wish you would visit Tikehau in French Polynesia. The white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and custom huts look so nice!
Your travel vlog is awesome, you've got such a positive attitude about everything. I like that you went to the water company. They really need to give tours in the future. 😀
The water looks dirty because there is a river nearby that flows out into the ocean and bring with it silt, raw sewage and lots of industrial chemicals from factories but I do agree the location is beautiful.
This is seawater. There is no river nearby running into this. No sewage or industrial chemicals from factories. Momi is a very rural area, with no factories or urban areas. It is off the highway. The nearest towns are 30-40 minutes drive. During her stay it was raining and flooding hence the murky water.
Hi Emily, I am in Fiji in September if you would like to come over. Momi Marriott where you stayed is a man made lagoon/water way which is why it looks soupy. There is another place in momi which it is much better. What is your schedule like. Do you have an Instagram link? I have lived in Canada for the past 15 years but home is always Fiji. Let me know! Cheers!
Aloha! If it was raining a lot you probably caught it on brown water days. We have that here in Hawai’i, especially in bays, all da mountain goat and feral hog shit and run off from mauka (mountain) go downhill and create brown water. It cleans up later. Just don’t swim in it. Lepto!
Why people would spend thousands to go sit in a stagnant lagoon when you can pay a couple hundred and be on the outer islands where the water and reefs are unbelievable is beyond me.
I went but I the power went out at the place I stayed at and I couldn’t charge my phone while I was there I’m planning to go back eventually to get a video
