Navai

Travel with our experienced guides in our 4WD vehicles into Fiji's less-seen interior and your first village stay at the start of the track up Mt Tomaniivi, Fiji's highest mountain

Breakfast early and start your climb up the steep and muddy trail before the heat kicks in. The summit boasts stunning views on clear days, and the surrounding area is a designated forest reserve. The cloud forest is amazingly diverse, with several orchid species and endemic Fijian birds to keep an eye out for. The return distance is around 10km, but we allow approx 6 hours for plenty of rest stops and a break at the top.

After returning to the homestay in Navai, relax and shower before heading further along the Nadrau plateau and to the tucked away Naga village. You'll get some great views along the way. Settle in to your new surroundings and take a short walk with a community guide if you still have the energy before meeting your hosts and being formally welcomed. Enjoy a talanoa (chat) over a bowl of kava and a fresh, locally sourced dinner prepared by the village.

Hike with your trained community guides along an old trail that links now abandoned villages along the upper Sigatoka river, through grassland and forest. The 12km hike takes approximately 7 hours with stops to rest, swim and have lunch.

Enjoy a guided 4-hour (5km) circular hike stopping off to discover your inner child on a natural waterslide tucked away in the forest, and find out more about Fiji's past as you walk through an old village site. Enjoy a final swim in the river or cool off in the shade before a final climb back up to Nubutautau village.

Sigatoka

After your morning hike, depart Nubutautau and head by 4WD vehicle down to Sigatoka, enjoying sweeping views across the watersheds for the Ba and Sigatoka rivers, then on to Nadi or Suva and the end of your adventure.
