Raft the river

It may not be the first thing you think of when you think Fiji but white water rafting is one of the best experiences to be had here. There truly is no better way to experience the authentic natural and cultural heritage of the islands than on a rafting adventure. In the remote highlands of Viti Levu lies one of the most unique river trips on earth, the Upper Navua River. It is this raging river that has sliced a deep chasm through the tropical interior and is surrounded by lush rain forest. One can call it a mini Grand Canyon, although instead of orange and red walls there are volcanic black walls surrounding you. There are at least 70 waterfalls, deep narrow canyon, volcanic rocks that rise over 40 m high and countless birds and wildlife to spot. There are a few different tour operators that run this adventure and we warn you, it isn’t cheap to take. But it is one of the best one-day white water rafting experiences in the world, a journey unlike any other.
