Overview

Meet your guide in your hotel lobby between 6:30am and 9:30am and travel to Navua, the adventure capital of Fiji. At Pacific Harbour, hop into a motorised boat for an exhilarating cruise along the Navua River past tiny villages, farm lands, pristine tropical rainforest, deep gorges and canyons, meandering rapids and several waterfalls. You may come across wild river ducks, white and black heron, and other native birds.After cruising for an hour you will come to the Magic Waterfall, Navua's tallest cascade. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal clear pools beneath the falls before climbing aboard a bamboo raft for a smooth, 30-minute ride on the method of transport favored by Fiji's native ancestors. Your next stop is a traditional village, where a Fijian Warrior will escort you to the bure, or village meeting house. Experience some of Fiji's age-old customs and traditions including the performance of a welcome yaqona ceremony where you have the opportunity to try kava, a local drink made from the root of the kava plant. Learn about the history of village, which was established by a lone Englishman named John Humphrey Danford in the early 1800s. After a war dance performed by the young men of the village, perhaps test your own sense of rhythm by joining in with a 'snake dance.' Try your hand at tapa painting on traditional cloth and see women plaiting Fijian mats. Then it is time to unearth your lovo lunch – meat, fish and vegetables such as cassava and wild yams which are wrapped in banana leaves and cooked underground before being served with salads and fruit.After lunch, your driver will return you to your hotel, where the tour ends.

We loved our long day trip with Discover Fiji tours. It was a 3 hour journey each way from Denarau Island. Our guide Nim was particularly good and kept us entertained throughout the day. Waterfall was beautiful. Bamboo rafting was a unique experience. We learned a lot about Fijian culture by visiting 150 people village that day. The tour also gave us the chance of exploring Fijian beauty beyond the resorts and other water based Island activities.

Excellent guide and transportation. Canoe trip was good fun. We got to the waterfall before the ship's(Jewel) tour arrived and were still there after they left. Guides climbed the cliff and jumped off. We also got to experience a bamboo raft on the return to the village where we had a cava ceremony, welcome dance(similar to a Haka) and excellent meal and a visit to various buildings and meeting house in the village. Much better than the quick, more expensive ship's tour. Highly recommend it.

Awesome! This tour is amazing. The long boats up the river are so much fun and the waterfall swimming hole is a beautiful place that is hard to put into words. Our guide (Molikai-not sure if spelled right)was the best. He did a terrific job. Definitely a must do tour when in Lautoka. Book through Viator and save half of cruise ship price.
