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
  • Walk the beautiful Coral Coast, learning about the cultural significance of the Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park from a local guide.
  • 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.
  • Relax along the shores of Pacific Harbour, then take a boat to the paradisiacal island of Nananu-i-Ra for a snorkelling adventure with the local tropical fish.
  • Go on a full day’s hike through the grasslands into Naga to Nubutautau villages, hearing firsthand about the history of the area from expert guides and local villagers.
  • Discover the Fijian centres of Nadi and Suva – 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 (and for any non-hikers) 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. If you are interested in classic Fiji we recommend spending a few extra days before or after your tour enjoying the beaches and snorkelling in the Mamanuca or Yasawa Islands, a boat ride from Nadi.
  • 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 please be aware of cultural considerations when entering and staying in local villages. Your tour leader and local guides will 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. Some accommodation options have limited numbers of different room types, so not everyone may have the same room style.

Exceeded my expectations - a perfect mixture of activities (hiking, snorkelling, river rafting, waterfall swimming), beautiful scenery, exposure to the real Fijian culture (not a show put on for the tourists), and also such delicious food. The local guides very friendly, knowledgable and helpful.

This is is excellent way to see beyond the tourist resorts of Fiji and get to know why Fiji is such a remarkable country. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough.

Everything about this trip was amazing. There was such a great variety of activities and experiences, particularly the opportunity to stay in local Fijian villages. The Intrepid guides, Jake and Ben, were exceptional. They went above and beyond. Fiji is now firmly in one of my favourite places I have ever travelled.

An amazing trip for someone looking to spend more time outdoors. There is a great mixture of water-based and land activities, and the village visits at the end really tie the whole trip together well.

The guides Jake and Ben we had on this trip were truly guardians of Fiji’s natural and cultural heritage. We witnessed their commitment not just to us as tourists in their care..but also their commitment and relationships with the communities and villages we visited. They are truly impressive men.
