Uncover the real Fiji on a nine-day cultural expedition from the picturesque coast to the lush highlands. Beginning and ending in Nadi, weave through untouched jungle while travelling to Fiji’s most pristine waterfalls and remote villages, discovering the Fijian way of living off the land and their sacred ceremonial customs. Hike over lush grasslands into local villages, raft through Fiji’s volcanic rock interior, snorkel off remote beaches at Nananu-i-Ra Island and wander through national parks brimming with tropical wildlife. Discover the sparkling South Pacific waters, experience world-class Fijian hospitality, and unlock a side of Fiji that may be lesser known, but is no less satisfying to experience.

We’re in the process of figuring out how much CO2-e this trip generates. In the meantime, find out more about our climate commitments and carbon reduction target.

Why you'll love this trip
  • Discover the beautiful Coral Coast, taking a guided walk to learn about the cultural significance of Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park with your small group.
  • Get your pulse racing as you raft through the heart of Fiji’s highlands at Upper Navua Gorge, and take the plunge with a swim at one of Fiji’s most picture-perfect waterfalls in Nabalesere.
  • Have time to rest and relax along the shores of Pacific Harbour, and take a boat to the paradisiacal island of Nananu-i-Ra for more relaxation, kayaking or snorkelling.
  • Go on a full day’s hike through the grasslands into Naga to Nubutautau villages, hearing first-hand about the history of the area from expert guides and local villagers.
  • Discover the Fijian centres of Nadi and Suva, and with the option to extend your stay before or after the expedition, you’ll be relaxing as soon as you step foot on the island.

Is this trip right for you?
  • This is an active trip with several days of point to point hiking. You only carry a day pack, with your main bags being transferred by vehicle between villages. There are two nights of multi-share stays in the local villages we visit.
  • Some of the best scenery in Fiji is found on hikes. So, while this trip doesn't require a high level of fitness, it’s essential to be at least moderately fit and be able to hike regularly if you want to partake in all activities. All travellers will need to be competent swimmers to take part in the rafting section of this trip.
  • As we focus on visiting less explored parts of Fiji, there is limited beach time on our itinerary. We recommend spending a few extra days before or after your tour enjoying the beaches if that is something you are interested in.
  • Part of travelling with Intrepid means respecting local cultures and sensibilities. That way you get the most out of your interactions with local people and environments. We ask for you to be please be aware of cultural considerations when entering and staying in local villages, your tour leader and local guides can assist with local etiquette.
  • As we stay in some locations where there are few options for eating out, some meals may be set menus rather than being able to choose from a variety of options. At some accomodation there may be limited numbers of different room types, so not everyone may have the same room style.

Amazing trip. We got to see parts of Fiji that most tourists don't. Getting to stay in Fijian villages and mingle with the locals is a great addition.

This was my first trip with Intrepid and it won’t be the last. My trip was absolutely amazing, from the destination, the food, the people, the guides, the activities, and the itinerary. They did not disappoint. I have already recommended them and will utilize them again.

Most people sit in a resort and don't see the real Fiji. This trip showcases how beautiful this country and the people really are. Pristine beaches, epic waterfalls & canyons, super welcoming villages and incredible food. A holiday I will never forget!
