The whole day was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and happy. The boat ride was so much fun. The whole family loved swimming at the waterfall. A great experience would love to do it again.

The experience was a highlight on my short trip to Fiji. Our host Nem shared his love and knowledge of the island, village, culture and nature. Highly recommend even with the long transit from Denarau/Nadi.

If you want a true fijian experience filled with humility then this is the tour for you. This experience humbles you an makes you remember just how much we take the simple things for granted. You need patience and understanding for this tour and please take gifts for children in the village 🙏

We were initially a little hesitant to book this experience given that we are staying in Nadi and this experience is all the way on the other side of the island, but the three hour journey was absolutely worth it. Nem clearly cares deeply about keeping Fijian traditions alive and he does so in a way that is both educational and entertaining. Zipping down the Navua River en route to the waterfall was both scenic and thrilling, and the lunch that followed after was both authentic and a joy to be a part of. The people of the village were all so welcoming, I would highly recommend this tour.
