Great experience, long transportation from NADI.

4.00The only reason I didn’t give this five stars is because we had seven hours of transportation getting to the location of the excursion. However, once we got there, we were treated with five star service. We were welcomed into this tribes, family, and home. The weather was overcast and rainy. We had an adventure going up the river in the boat, but it was still beautiful and picturesque. The waterfall was lovely and the gentleman who provided the tour, Nem, gave us so much information on different plants in the region. Once we returned to the village, we had a home cooked lunch that was fabulous and crafts that were made by the village women . It was educational, it was interesting, and it was an amazing experience. I highly recommend this to anyone.
Excellent day trip

5.00An unforgettable experience! The main guide (we wish we remembered your name!) who led the tour, explained everything, and took such great care of us was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, warm, and welcoming. It was a perfect blend of Fijian culture and natural beauty, from the heartfelt village traditions to the stunning river and rainforest surroundings. Thank you!!!
Excellent tour!

5.00Amazing experience. Driver Malachi was entertaining and knowledgeable. Although a 4 hour drive each way from Denarau, he did an outstanding job of making it a smooth drive. Tour guides at the village, on the boat, and during the waterfall hike were some of the best. They all were fun, friendly, and energetic the entire time. Special shout out to Nem. He was the head tour guide and one of the most positive and friendly individuals you will ever meet. Lastly, really liked the hike to the waterfall. It was fairly quick and not too strenuous. Trails were also very easy to maneuver. Only downside was it was a full 12 hour commitment if being picked up from Denarau hotel area.
