| 1. Mountain bike to Bouma Waterfalls, Taveuni | ||
| Awesome rainforest scenery and a lovely dirt road to cruise along. Beautiful waterfall to swim in and cool off at the end. Also one of the most successful community conservation projects in the world! | ||
| | ||
| 2. Whitewater Rafting Upper Navua Gorge | ||
| In the remote highlands of Viti Levu lies one of the most unique river trips on earth. Slicing a deep chasm through the island's tropical interior, the Upper Navua River is our hidden pathway to a pristine tropical wilderness. Shrouded in lush rain forest, fed by countless waterfalls and protected by challenging rapids, the Upper Navua River is Fiji rafting at its best. | ||
| | ||
| 3. Body Boarding at the Sigatoka Sand Dunes | ||
| One of only a couple of beach breaks in Fiji (all the big ones are reef breaks and gnarly!). Great fun and brilliant scenery in fornt of the black and gold sand dunes. Excellent beach/driftwood photography opps. | ||
| | ||
| 4. Dive the Rainbow Reef, Somosomo Straits | ||
| Possibly the best diving easily avaiable to shore based divers. Be careful of the strong currents that feed all that soft coral though, not a place for pure beginners! | ||
Since 1998 Fiji Adventures has been the specialist for fun and adventure to Fiji. Not content to simply book their guests’ airfare and resort stay, the company began a bold investigation on several of the 330 islands that make up the Fijian archipelago. The result is over 60 innovative and unmatched itineraries you can experience like no other traveler will.
The Fiji Adventures Experience
The “usual and customary” tropical vacation experience entails a lie on the beach, a drink in the hand. A Fiji Adventures experience is always atypical, and unique. While you can “let go” under the gifted hands of traditional bobo massage therapist while listening to the waves break gently on the reefs, your trip will be interspersed with a true exploration into the heart and soul of the islands. With a group of indigenous guides that make each moment a truly memorable one.
Trips include active honeymoons, pure adrenalin adventures, soft adventure, diving, surfing, sailing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, zipping the rainforest canopy, game fishing, even wild boar hunting and shark feeding are available if the mood strikes you. Pre-packaged adventures are for your convenience, but specially created itineraries to fit your personality and dreams is one of Fiji Adventures’ specialties.
