But what I discovered over the course of my two-week trip is that there\u2019s a whole bunch of adrenaline pumping activities and (even more rewarding) culturally immersive experiences to uncover. Fiji on the flipside gives way to frog-kicks at the base of majestic waterfalls; hikes navigating through jungle-clad hills; rafting over rapids down a spring-fed volcanic interior; boating across sparkling sky-blue waters and snorkelling spots bursting with varieties of coral and tropical fish.<\/p>\n<p>All I can say is move aside <a href=\"\/bali\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil=\"url\">Bali <\/a>and come on over to the South Pacific.

Most of these activities are up for the taking at any beachside accommodation. Beach bungalows tend to include free hire of SUP, snorkelling equipment and kayaks with your stay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/fiji\/fiji-hike-raft-snorkel-161939\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>JOIN US ON OUR 11-DAY FIJI EXPEDITION &#8211; FULL DETAILS HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>2.

The main island of Viti Levu is where things are at for day trips and multi-day hiking experiences. Fiji\u2019s largest mountain, Mount Tomanivi, is an extinct volcano sitting in the northern highlands of Viti Levu \u2013\u00a0standing at 1,324 metres (4,344 feet). The top of Mount Tomanivi can be summited on a day trip from Suva. When it comes to trailing through the highlands, you can expect jaw-dropping views of convex shaped topography reaching as far as the eye can see. And somewhere within that scene lies traditional villages, winding rives and roaring waterfalls awaiting those who venture into the interior.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/expeditions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>EXPLORE OUR FULL RANGE OF EXPEDITIONS HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>3.

Go rafting with a team of locally trained expert guides down parts of the Upper Navua River Conservation Area. Rivers Fiji supports local communities by working in partnership to protect areas that are targeted for logging and gravel extraction and provides training to local guides. Not to mention the eye-popping fun of swishing past waterfalls, listening to local mythology along the river and gazing overhead at the dense bamboo clusters and overhanging ferns \u2013\u00a0rivalling scenes out of <em>Jurassic Park<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-title single-post-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/solo-travel-bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED: WHY TO CONSIDER SOLO TRAVEL IN BALI (AND WHAT TO EXPECT)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>4.

Fijian communities are steeped in tradition: the cultural values, strong sense of family and pride Fijian\u2019s have for their land will leave you with the warm and fuzzies. There are simple protocols that all visitors are asked to follow in respect of the community, whether you are from another part of Fiji or a foreigner that is entering the village. A few simple respectful measures you can take before and during your visit to a Fijian village are: to wear a sulu, remove all items from your head (hats and sunglasses), and simply be respectful towards the people you meet \u2013\u00a0much like you would do as a guest invited to dinner.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Fiji\u2019s first declared national park is covered by giant sand dunes and ancient relics<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sigatoka-Sand-Dunes-National-Park-e1548138217989.jpg\" alt=\"Sand dunes\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sigatoka-Sand-Dunes-National-Park-e1548138217989.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sigatoka-Sand-Dunes-National-Park-e1548138217989-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sigatoka-Sand-Dunes-National-Park-e1548138217989-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sigatoka-Sand-Dunes-National-Park-e1548138217989-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>There\u2019s a few reasons to visit Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park and it\u2019s not just for the contrasts of the great Sahara looking mounds that line a coastline of intense waves \u00ad\u2013\u00a0almost trying to outrival each other. The sand dunes bordering the Park are known as the training grounds for Fiji\u2019s national rugby team which means they run up and down dunes ranging 20-60 metres in height (no thanks). It\u2019s also the place of ancient pottery relics that give clues to Fiji\u2019s first inhabitants. Three thousand years ago people from the coastal areas <a href=\"\/papua-new-guinea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Papua New Guinea<\/a> and the Bismarck Archipelago started settling throughout the South Pacific. Lapita pottery, which has been found buried beneath the sand dunes, is associated with early Melanesian settlements.\u00a0Archaeologists have identified that the pottery remains unearthed have most likely been washed down from the Sigatoka River.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-title single-post-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/flores-indonesia-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED: HEADING TO INDONESIA?

It\u2019s a tradition dating thousands of years and symbolises the deepest respect for the Chief and the people belonging to a village. When offered to drink kava from the wooden bowl (called a <em>Tanoa<\/em>), this gesture signifies the visitor and the visited becoming one people and striving for the same purpose. Kava is often described as having a woody or earthy taste. Having one or two cups might leave you with a slight numb feeling in your mouth that soon subsides. It\u2019s only when drunk in larger quantities that it starts to have mood-altering effects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-title single-post-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/funeral-director-learnings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED: 8 TRAVEL LESSONS I LEARNED FROM WORKING AS A FUNERAL DIRECTOR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>7.

While there are waterfalls dotted throughout the islands, I have to say that Nabalesere Waterfall on the main island of Viti Levu is one of Fiji\u2019s hidden gems. The village and waterfall can be visited on a day trip from Suva. Permission is needed from the village to enter the Nabalesere Ecotourism Forest Park. A friendly local guide accompanies you on a one-kilometre trek to the base of the massive falls. Jumping into the soothing waters with the roar of the falls beside you enliven the senses. After the adventure, you\u2019re invited back to the village to warm up over a cup of locally grown lemon-leaf tea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/subscriptions\"><strong>SUBSCRIBE TO INTREPID\u2019S NEWSLETTER FOR INSPIRATIONAL STORIES, TRAVEL TIPS, AND GIVEAWAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The best bit?
