Village time and lollipops

5.00Beautiful ride up the river, excellent village tour, and meal. If you haven’t done a Fiji village, this may be the best I’ve seen as far as the time they spent in the welcoming ceremony and the time they spent with you touring their village. It’s not the same village every day so your experience may be slightly different, but the Boat captain was from our village and that made a big difference in the way we were accepted. The river is beautiful and volatile. The jet boat was not scary, but it was really cool how it would go over such shallow water. At the end, they do multiples to 360s and get you wet, but it’s not till the end so you don’t get cold. We had a couple kids on board and they were fine with the 360s. I thought they were a bit lackluster, but it is fun to get wet at the end. They kind of turned it into a little amusement park with the 360s.. the most important thing is once you get to Sigatoka if you don’t have lollipops already go to one of the mini stores and get a bag. The kids were so appreciative of a simple lolly. And they would not come and try to get a second one. It was pretty cool.
loved it!!

5.00What an incredible day with Sigatoka River Safari ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was our second time and we visited Toga Village and somehow it was even more special than the first. Captain Jack made the whole experience so much fun the jet boat ride was equal parts adrenaline and laughter from start to finish. The people in the village are some of the warmest and most welcoming we’ve ever met. Being invited into the village, sharing food, music, dancing and stories is something really special and such a beautiful cultural experience. And the funniest part… we discovered our photo from last year is now part of the marketing campaign on the buses and photo covers 😂 Safe to say we felt like local celebrities for the day. An absolute must do in Fiji. We’ll be back again for round three
Worth every cent (& then some!)

5.00A lovely mix of culture and fun. I was expecting the experience to be a fun way to spend time but to be largely a commercialised opportunity for a small community/village. How very wrong I was! We were taken into a remote island village, and proudly shown around. Their way of life was explained to us as we were given a tour. This was followed by a Kava ceremony, a lunch prepared with all village grown/prepared produce etc. followed by a dance with the women and children! As someone who’s very uncomfortable dancing in public, I couldn’t help but get swept up in the moment and danced, a very freeing experience. Ages ranged from 5-77 and all seemingly had a great time and able to manage the day. Take the offer of return transport as it’s a an hour plus trip one way, despite being approx 44km from the Hilton. You have a friendly tour guide and the drivers are friendly and welcoming. Also you’re tired as after the day, so can have a nap and not have to worry about anything. Make sure to hydrate before and to take water on the boat as the village experience takes longer than expected (not a negative remark at all just an FYI). An awesome experience/day overall!
EXCELLENT

5.00I expected the boat ride to be a big part of this adventure, but it was the village, the children playing in the Sigatoka River, the adults preparing Tumeric in the water, the little girls dancing with my husband that really touched my heart and taught me what Fiji truly is. They treated us like kings and by the time we left, we felt like we were saying good-bye to family. And the speed boat was fun too... Thank you Captain Jack!
BEST THING EVER

5.00If you do anything in Fiji do this. this was the most epic day in my life, seeing the village in Fiji getting to meet the people, we got a tour, we had a kava ceremony, we ate, we danced, we had so much fun. we had Captains, leps, Ace, and Fini who were incredible. Getting to go to a village in fiji should be your top priority, if you can go to more than 1. The jet boat experience is also a fun edition! could not recommend this anymore, you will meet so many awesome people, wether that be in the village, the crew or other travellers, you will get to learn about the river and and the villagers. bring lots of water! and high energy as you will be dancing by the end !
Beautiful day

4.00We had a great day. Fini our captain was the best driver, I would trust her with my life shes so good. Lovely person, full of information and wow can she handle that boat! Village tour is beautiful, kava ceremony does take time and kids get restless sitting cross legged for half an hour in heat so keep in mind with kids. But just a beautiful village and people. Thanks Fini! Left at 8:30am, got back to resort just after 3 so was a longer day than we thought when we were booking a half day tour, would have liked to get back a bit earlier so we still had time in our day is only complaint.
Best excursion we did on our vacation!

5.00We had an amazing time on the jetboat safari and village tour. Our driver was Fabolous Freddie and he was so nice and down to earth. He told us all about the village life as he himself still lives in one of the villages. He was funny, informative, and helpful. The jetboat ride was so nice and relaxing on the way to the village. The scenery was beautiful. And the best part of the tour was visiting the village and meeting the local people and children. It was such a humbling experience for most of us who have the money and means to travel to these amazing places. It just made you realize that a simple life like what they have is all you need to be happy. It was just a great experience. We travel a lot and that was one of the best excursions we’ve ever done. It was a long day come from Sofitel Denarau but totally worth it. If you can do one thing while in Fiji, do this. And to make it more exciting. Fabolous Freddie took us on a thrill ride coming back. He did a 360 turn on the jetboat not once, not twice, but 7 times. It was so much fun and you definitely get wet if you’re in the back. So bring extra clothes and a towel.
