Reiseverlauf 2026

1. Tag 1

   Nadi

   <
   Bula! Welcome to Fiji. Your adventure begins on Fiji’s main island – Viti Levu. Transfer from Nadi International Airport to your hotel and settle into your accommodation on the edge of town. You’ll have a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight, where you’ll meet your local leader and group members. If you arrive early, why not check out the colours of the Hindu temple Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami, or Nadi Temple as it’s known locally. Try the island’s fresh fruits with the usual tropical suspects (pawpaw, mangoes and pineapples) and some you might not recognise (pomelo, rose apple and soursop) at the Nadi or Namaka Produce Market, open Monday to Sunday.
   It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this time. If you are going to be late please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place. Our start point hotel operates a complimentary airport shuttle from Nadi Airport to the hotel. Please note that it is only available through us if you arrive on day 1 of the trip or if you have booked pre-tour accommodation through us. The transfer must be pre-booked through your booking agent ahead of time. Please provide your arrival flight details at least 14 days prior to travel. Please read the joining point instructions for information on where to find the transfer once you have arrived. Taxis are plentiful and easy to organise. Please ask your trip leader if you need support to organise a taxi for dinner.

   Pacific Harbour

   <
   After breakfast, head south of Nadi to Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park. Here, you’ll take a 4 km ranger-guided walk through the incredible dunes, ranging in height from 20 to 60 m – mounds that have formed over millions of years. The views from the sand dunes open out to spectacular scenes along the Coral Coast. Archaeologists have found relics of pottery in the national park dating back 2600 years, and the area is home to an ancient burial site that gives clues to Fiji’s first inhabitants. After the hike, head to Bula Coffee for lunch, Fiji’s first coffee producer who uses wild-grown beans harvested by communities around the island. Then, make your way to tonight’s accommodation on the coast, where the afternoon is dedicated to chilling out by the pool or on the beach. Settle in ‘cause you’re on island time now!
   Your travel time today will be approximately 3 hours. Your hiking distance will be approximately 4 km (2.5 mi).
3. Tag 3

   Pacific Harbour

   <
   Gear up for an incredible rafting experience in Fiji’s highlands at Upper Navua Gorge. Ride down rapids naturally carved through the island’s volcanic rock interior, surrounded by towering gorge walls, dense rainforest and dozens of waterfalls. The combination of the rapids of the river and biological diversity makes this Fiji’s best spot for rafting. Stop at a lunch spot along the way to get a good feel for the rainforest terrain. After, return to the coast for another night in your beachside surroundings.
   Your travel time today will be approximately 4 hours.
4. Tag 4

   Colo-i-Suva

   <
   Leave the resort after breakfast and make your way to Fiji’s capital – Suva. When you arrive, you’ll have time to take an optional walk through Suva’s market and the city centre with a local guide. Then, enjoy a visit to the Fiji Museum, which showcases the early history of the island and is home to artifacts dating back up to 3700 years. This afternoon is a good time to further explore the city with your hotel being in the centre of town.
   Your travel time today will be approximately 1.5 hours.
5. Tag 5

   Nananu-i-Ra

   <
   This morning, drive to Nabalesere village, travelling along the Wainibuka river and through several local villages along the way. Nabalesere is nestled in the province of Ra, where you’ll hear another form of greeting – instead of saying ‘Bula!’ as in other parts of the island, ‘Yadra!’ is used to say hello. When you arrive, your local guide will help the group present a sevusevu to the village elders – this ceremonial gift is to gain acceptance into the community, often in the form of a kava root. While farming is the main source of income for many Fiji communities, partnering with the village helps to create an additional source of income. Embark on a 1.5-km hike to the breathtaking Savulelele Waterfall – one of Fiji’s most majestic waterfalls, tumbling down from a height of 50 m. After the swim, return to the village for lunch and a hot lemon leaf tea, then travel to the coast, where you’ll take a short boat transfer to Nananu-i-Ra Island to spend the night in beachside cottages.
   Your total travel time today will be approximately 5 hours. Your total hiking distance will be approximately 3 km or 1.5 to 2 hours.
6. Tag 6

   Naga Village

   <
   Soak up island life on Nananu-i-Ra Island this morning – sunrise is the perfect time to relax on the beach or cool off with a swim in the South Pacific. After breakfast, strap on a snorkel and get exploring underwater with your group, looking for colourful tropical fish. In the afternoon, you’ll head inland to Naga village, presenting another sevusevu to be welcomed and invited in. Enjoy a stroll through the surrounding food gardens and a communal dinner in the village. Tonight you’ll stay in the village community hall, an essential Fijian experience.
   Your total travel time today will be approximately 3 hours. You will spend two nights in multi-share community hall accommodation with shared facilities in local villages. Foam mattresses, pillows, sheets, blankets and towels are provided, but some travellers may prefer to bring their own sleep sheet or light sleeping bag. While basic this is an essential experience of staying in Fijian villages.
7. Tag 7

   Nubutautau

   <
   Get your hiking shoes on for today’s 11-km trekking adventure across Fiji’s grasslands and into Nubutautau village. The journey will be broken up with lunch and a rewarding swim along the way, following the scenic Sigatoka River. Arriving later in the afternoon, you’ll spend the night in the village that sits in the heart of the island, with a scenic backdrop of small farms and grassy hills. Enjoy an insight into interior Fijian culture and talanoa with the community.
   For today's hike between the villages it is essential you bring comfortable hiking boots, as the track can be muddy and slippery, and there are a number of creek crossings. Your total hiking distance will be approximately 11 km (7 mi). Your luggage will be transferred for you to the next village, so all you need to bring on the hike is your day pack. Tonight's accommodation is again at a local community hall, similar to yesterday, with foam mattresses, pillows, sheets, blankets and towels provided.

   Nadi

   <
   This morning, take a cultural tour of the village and learn the history of the region in the 19th century, hearing the story of missionary Rev Baker. Continue by 4WD along the ridgeline separating two of Fiji’s major rivers – the Sigatoka and the Ba – and back down to Nadi for lunch in a local cafe. With no more activities planned after lunch, your trip will come to an end. If you would like to spend more time in Nadi, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time to organise additional accommodation. Better yet, why not check out another of Fiji’s picturesque islands, like the nearby Mamanuca or Yasawa clusters.
   Your trip finishes at 2pm at Coffee Hub Cafe in Nadi. No accommodation is included for tonight. Departure flights should only be booked from 4pm onwards if departing on the last day of the trip. Your leader will be able to help you organise a taxi to the airport.
