Fiji is well-known for its vast selection of adrenalin-pumping adventure tours but some of the most unique and authentic experiences are hidden away in the lesser explored areas. In this latest blog post, we’re sharing all the hidden adventures that get overlooked by a lot of travellers, because sometimes the most memorable experiences are the ones that you have to truly endeavour to find.
Fiji’s Secret Adventures:
Sawa-I-Lau Caves:
Located in the Yasawa Islands, the Sawa-I-Lau Caves are a stunning series of caverns that can be explored from both above and below the waterline. Steeped in mystery and legend, the real excitement comes when you dive through the underwater tunnel that takes you from the first cavern into the second.
Recommended Accommodation: Yasawa Island Resort and Spa
Shark Diving at Shark Reef Marine Reserve:
Beqa Lagoon is home to the Shark Reef Marine Reserve, considered to be one of the best shark diving locations in the world, where you will get up close and personal as part of a cage free dive. Home to over eight different species of sharks as well as a host of other marine species, a dive here is not for the faint of heart and is only an option for fully-qualified divers.
Recommended Accommodation: Beqa Lagoon Resort
Waterfall Excursion:
For those looking for ‘soft’ adventure, you might want to consider Koro Sun’s waterfall excursion. This exciting tour takes you on a short trek to the picturesque waterfall hidden atop a tropical hillside. You’ll also find a natural pool with refreshing clear water to explore.
Recommended Accommodation: Koro Sun Resort and Rainforest Spa
Bamboo Rafting on Navua River:
Fiji’s Navua River in the Pacific Harbour region is often overlooked by tourists who prefer the white sand beaches and crystal-clear lagoons, however it is the perfect adventure spot for thrill seekers. With more waterfalls than you can keep track of as well as plenty of rapids to careen down, you’ll be spoilt for choice. We highly recommend opting for the more authentic option, using bamboo rafts to navigate the bends and curves of the river as traditional Fijians have for many years.
Recommended Accommodation: Uprising Beach Resort
