I'll be travelling to Fiji with Intrepid Travel at the end of May. Our cultural tour includes a homestay in Namatakula village and a kava cermony. I'm looking forward to experiencing every aspect of this culture, although now a friend has me paranoid, as she knows two people who became very ill, and attributed it to the kava. I'm curious if any of you Fiji experts can share your experiences? I know the normal rules about "don't drink the water" foreign lands - I'm just not sure if this applies to the kava as well?
