Tour Overview

Join us on paths less travelled to discover the true heart of Fiji. Fiji is famous for its corals and coast, but we will take you on a journey away from the tourist resorts and walking in a landscape of dramatic peaks, pristine forests, sparkling rivers, remote villages, vibrant traditional culture and unique history. Our hikes are set up for independent-minded travellers who want to be confident that they are being respectful to traditional landowners and fairly contributing to communities, without needing to worry about logistics or losing their way!

Day 2: Take on the challenging trail to the top of Fiji's highest mountain, Mt Tomaniivi

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.

Day 3: Take in the views, and cool off in gentle rivers, as you hike a historic trail to Nubutautau 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.
