Great way to experience the true Fiji - Did this tour yesterday and what an experience it was. Despite the almost three hours bus ride each way, the tour was well worth it. Our tour guide from the village was Nem and he was excellent. He was so passionate about his history and culture… I think that made the tour all the more special. Once we arrived at the family village, we jumped aboard a long boat and went up the Havua River with its small rapids for quite some way. Then we arrived at this amazing waterfall after a short walk. And even though it did rain, we still all decided to take a swim at the base of the falls. Then our trip back to the village part of the way on a bamboo raft. Once back at the village we were treated to a talk about the food preparation (Lovo?), a cava ceremony and then traditional dancing and singing. And then we were treated to a Fijian lunch prepared by the women of the village - delicious. I chose to have a 15 minute massage before we headed back to my hotel. An absolutely delightful, fun and educational day. The Fijian people who participated in this tour delivery were just beautiful and an absolute joy. The friendliest people on earth… possibly. Strongly recommended but do take appropriate swimwear and shoes to change into. A special thank you to Peter who was our excellent bus driver for the day.

Absolutely amazing tour - We had an amazing experience with Nem on the Jewel of Fiji tour. We were a small family group of four, and the only booking for the day, which made the tour incredibly personal and intimate. Nem was absolutely hilarious and had a wealth of knowledge about the area, its history, local culture, and life in general. His sense of humor kept everyone engaged, and his insights added so much value to the day. Added adventure was trekking over and around the debris from the storm the previous two nights. Nem and the boys definitely made sure the path was clear and safe to keep walking. Unfortunately we couldn't enjoy the bamboo raft as it had been placed up a tree, upside-down and damaged from the flooding, but as a positive we had more time at the waterfall. Highly recommend this tour — worth every cent and more. Nem...We bloody love ya mate!

Nice experience into Fiji - So glad we went on this. Always wanted to swim under/near a waterfall. The water was cold but was so worth it! Our guide was absolutely amazing! Loved the experience in the village, I went for the massage and it was worth it. We stayed in denarau so it was a long drive but recommend

5 star day out - Fantastic and professionally run experience. From start to finish a well polished and safe experience for all ages. The boat ride up the river was stunning and full of waterfalls. The quick stop at a mountain village was beautiful and friendly, lunch was delicious and plentiful, waterfall was beautiful, and the tubing was relaxing + fun

The tour is outstanding. ... - The tour is outstanding. The only issue is the travel time and distance if you do it from Nadi. It takes 3 hours plus to get there one way !! Other than that the ride on the river, the waterfalls, the experience in the village, lunch and cultural narration are outstanding.

Great cultural experience - This was a truly amazing and informative trip. One of the highlights of my trip to Fiji. Not only was the river trip amazing, the lunch was excellent as well. Just a warning-if you are coming from Nadi, the shuttle is very very long

Traditional Fiji Culture Experience & welcomed by family. - We got the transfer from our hotel drove 2.5hrs SW to Navua River. Canoe up the river, swam under a waterfall and bamboo raft back down the river. Best Captain, thank you! Our hosts provided a delicious lunch ... a "Lovo" feast in the local village, hosted and prepared by beautiful people. We learnt and experienced traditions and history of Fijian people. We experienced traditional kava ceremony, dances and songs, as well as demonstrations on weaving and the use of coconuts. Thankyou to our guides Nems, The captain, Seva and all of the family who hosted. Thankyou from our family to yours. What a great day!
