In addition to the fabulous island resorts and local Fijian
culture, Fiji ranks high for adventure vacations. Whether you
choose to hike, bike,
scuba dive,
snorkel, golf, or fish, Fiji is tailor-made for relaxed, authentic
experiences and adrenaline filled adventure.
Tui Tai Adventure Cruise
Join Tui Tai Adventure Cruises for the trip of a lifetime.
Visit remote beaches, snorkel incredible reefs, kayak to local
villages and relax at breathtaking locations across Northern
Fiji. The cruise immerses guests in the natural beauty and
island culture of Fiji. The relaxed schedule and wide variety
of activities allows each guest to do as much or as little
as they want.
The A/S Tui Tai is a magnificent 140-foot sailing schooner
based in Savusavu, Fiji. The ship is equipped with Perception
kayaks, Kona mountain bikes, quality snorkel gear and air-conditioned
accommodations for 25 guests. Sixteen Fijian officers, sailors,
guides and hospitality staff ensure the safety and enjoyment
of each guest on their adventure at sea.
Fiji Kayaking with Rivers Fiji
Whether you're an experienced whitewater veteran or a complete
novice, they have a variety of options to accommodate a range
of skill and interest levels. From class I to class IV whitewater,
aboard inflatable kayaks and whitewater rafts, they explore
some of Fiji's most spectacular terrain by floating in relative
comfort along two of the country's premier liquid pathways,
the Upper Navua Gorge and Wainikoroiluva.
Kayak through lush mangrove forest...snorkel incredible coral
reefs. Their Beqa Island Sea Kayaking Adventure provides the
perfect addition to paradise. Rivers Fiji is committed to
sustainable tourism practices and works very closely with
neighboring riverside villages. Their guides grew up along
the rivers they explore and know their environment better
than anyone.
Fiji Hiking
The National Trust of Fiji administers six National Parks
designated as areas of outstanding national beauty. Our pick
of the National Parks and other hiking trails include:
- Koroyanitu National Park, Nadi Area, Viti
Levu
This National Park offers several day and overnight walks,
a visitor centre, scenic lodge accommodations and camping.
Trails into the rainforest also pass through local villages
and combine the stunning natural scenery with ecotourism.
Highly recommended.
- Sigatoka Sandunes National Park, Viti Levu
This 4-mile stretch of large windswept sandunes along the
island’s coast is a protected environment administered
by the National Trust of Fiji. The park has a very informative
visitor centre describing the history and ecology of the
region. There are several official trails to explore the
sandunes that often expose ancient pottery shards.
- Colo-i-Suva Forest Reserve, Suva, Viti Levu
Offers 6km of trails through rainforest less
than 20 minutes drive from Suva. The area has several small
waterfalls, indigenous flora, bird life, scenic lookouts,
and tons of adventure. However, a note of caution: being
close to Suva, the park is a hot spot for crime and a recent
case of rape has further scarred the name of the park. Buses
go beyond Colo-i-Suva into the heart of Naitasiri. Naitasiri
is a stunning region, very traditional with lots of thatch
villages and small family plantations. Naitasiri and neighbouring
Namosi are the best regions in Fiji to explore the experience
the "old" Fiji. Bad weather is common and roads
are frequently flooded. This is traditional countryside
and although accessible to tourists, village protocol should
be observed - before exploring present yaqona to the local
chief and ask his permission - you will be encouraged to
take a local villager with you as a guide.
- Bouma National Park, Taveuni, Northern Islands
In the beautiful Garden Island of Taveuni, this park offers
three separate day hikes - Tavoro Waterfalls, Lavena Coastal
Walk and Vidawa Rainforest Hike, all excellent for the adventure
traveler. There is also a rough trail to Lake Tagimoucia,
home of the rare Tagimoucia flower that comes out in abundance
between September and December.
- Nausori Highlands, Nadi Area, Viti Levu
This inland rural area is an impressive collection of rolling
hills, river valleys and volcanic peaks. The highlands also
offer fantastic views over the Mamanuca and southern Yasawa
Islands to the west. The hills transform from sunburnt grassland
to lush green valleys during the wet season from December
to April.
- Lovoni Trail, Ovalau, Lomaiviti Group
The tropical mountains behind Levuka on Ovalau have some
excellent trails, waterfalls and swimming pools to explore.
The beauty here is that they can all be reached from the
road a short walk from the historic town of Levuka. Of notable
interest for hikers is an arduous day trek to remarkable
Lovoni Village, isolated in the center of this exotic island.
Game Fishing
Fishing in Fiji is favored all year round. There is simply
great fishing for everyone! All methods of game fishing are
available in Fiji - choice of group to instruct captain/crew.
Overnight charter is also available where the whole family
can fish and hook a great catch of edible fish.
Dry Season: May - November
Wet Season: December - April
Best Wahoo Season: May - August
Best Billfish Season: March-April, July-August, October-November
Best Tanguige Season: Feb-April, July-August, October-November
Best Tuna Season: April - July

allows you to completely unwind and enjoy one of your favorite
pastimes. You'll find that the Fiji Islands offer a wide range
of quality golf courses - from small "pitch and putts"
right through to international championship courses. So, take
your time and enjoy golfing in Fiji.
