Viti Levu Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Our paradise island escape was a fabulous introduction to Fiji island life. The crew were talented singers, able seamen, and hilarious joke makers. The weather was a dream- blue skies, turquoise waters. Viewing the coral and fish on the snorkel adventure was so worth me getting over my frustration with my ineptitude with the equipment!

We spent a wonderful day with Navin +679 9096171 (Epic transfers and tours) - enjoying the coral coast, temple, sigatoka shopping and food market, pottery village, plus the Natadola beach for lunch, swimming and snorkelling. He was very flexible, friendly, knowledgeable and intelligent. A thoroughly enjoyable day!

It was fantastic experience, smooth sailing and wonderful crew . Vinaka team.

Navin was a fantastic driver. Was waiting for us when we walked out of our hotel, very friendly, provided lots of interesting local information. I absolutely recommend him and would ask for him again.

Excellent experience, first class day tour with a touch culture. We were looked after from start to finish. Tour guides were warm and friendly. Delicious lunch. Topped off with beautiful traditional singing.

If you are considering this excursion, DO IT! This was, without a doubt, the most memorable day of our two-week trip between Australia and Fiji. Our day started early at 6:30 a.m. when our driver, Praneed, picked us up from Denarau Island. The drive to our destination was about three hours, but honestly, the time flew by. Praneed made the drive so enjoyable by pointing out interesting facts along the way and answering all of our questions. The scenery along the way was beautiful, too. When we arrived, we were given lockers for our belongings, and I was even able to rent a waterproof bag so we could take some things with us. We gathered our tubes and boarded the longboat, which took us to a small village. We had the opportunity to learn about the village, the people who live there, and how a portion of the excursion fees helps support the community. We absolutely loved learning about their way of life and the different plants they use for medicinal purposes. It was such a meaningful part of the experience. After leaving the village, we continued down the river by boat and stopped for a short five-minute hike to an absolutely beautiful waterfall. You can swim at the bottom of the waterfall, and we had plenty of time to enjoy it. It was truly breathtaking! Afterward, we enjoyed lunch in a beautiful area set up with tents. And I have to say — the food was AMAZING! It was actually the best food we had during our entire time in Fiji. Then came the tubing! We floated down the river surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery we have ever seen. It was peaceful, fun, and absolutely gorgeous. Then something happened that made the experience even more special. After we had been tubing for a while, all of the guides began singing. At first, I honestly thought they were playing music on a radio because they sounded so incredible. But they were singing themselves! Sitting in a tube, surrounded by God's beautiful creation, listening to those beautiful voices was incredibly emotional for both my husband and me. It is one of those moments from our trip that we will never forget. ❤️ Our guide, Dougie, was absolutely wonderful. He was so personable, energetic, and full of life. He made everyone feel comfortable and included, and he took pictures throughout the entire excursion. We were able to purchase the photos afterward for only $20 Fijian, which I thought was such a nice touch, especially since we were nervous about taking our phones with us on the river. I believe our boat driver's name was Siya, and he was wonderful as well. I would highly recommend this excursion to everyone! The only thing I wish is that the rest of our group, who were staying at the InterContinental, could have joined us. They didn't go because they weren't sure whether transportation was available from their hotel. If you're wondering about pickup, contact the company! They told us they can pick you up from anywhere, so don't let transportation questions keep you from booking.Yes, it is about a three-hour drive from Denarau, but the drive is absolutely worth it. The scenery, the village, the waterfall, the food, the tubing, the guides, and especially the singing all made this an unforgettable experience. We traveled around Australia and Fiji for two weeks, and this was our most memorable day of the entire trip. Thank you to Praneed, Dougie, Siya, and the entire team for giving us memories that we will treasure forever. Vinaka vakalevu!

Amazing day! So attentive to my little girl and great bbq

Great day out buffet lunch was great and good swimming pot

We spent a really lovely day at this beautiful resort with lots of available activities! The island is picturesque, and as this is a day trip to a resort you get a different atmosphere and experience than visiting a beach club island like Malamala (which is also nice, but we preferred this to be honest!). The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, in particular with their beautiful sung welcome to the resort when you arrive and a farewell as you leave. The facilities are great - clean and well tended, with plentiful snorkelling and kayaking equipment, and the beach is very pleasant. Beach towels are available to rent for $5 each per day. The included buffet lunch quality was excellent, with clear labelling for people with dietary restrictions - a great range of fresh salads in particular. The only slight points to note are that no drinks are included in the ticket price, not even soft drinks or water, which seems a shame (we weren’t expecting to have to pay for soft drinks on top of the high ticket price), and also there is a transfer to and from the ferry by small boat, so it might be tricky if you have mobility issues. These issues aside however, we had a fantastic day and would recommend it!

Buna at the Rosie Holidays Desk was very patient and very helpful when I had to make a last minute booking after a confirmed tour was cancelled by another tour operator . She was quick and organised a fantastic day trip including the transfers and we were all taken care of very well. Highly recommend Rosie Holidays for memorable tours!!

Easy 60-90 minute (weather dependent) boat ride out to the island on a nice cat. Beautiful PRIVATE island with a nice snorkel tour, kayaks, wonderful lunch, drinks, and top notch staff. Way better than malamala or south sea in our opinion. Maybe not marketed the best to show how private and exclusive this experience is, but it really is private and a group no bigger than 30-40 on the whole island. Rough itinerary for us was departure 10, arrive at island at 11, snorkel from 11:30-12:15 or 12:30, lunch at 1, departure at 2:45. Only thing is that the day goes by fast, which is a good sign of fun.

Truly surreal. Maumau, Tony, Bill, and the entire Skydive Fiji crew are next-level amazing. You won’t regret an experience like this.

This was the highlight of our holiday in Fiji. We saw a part of the country and local life that was new to us. The guides were experienced and wonderful at explaining the area, history and included stories along the way. We stopped to take photos on the walk to the Village. The people in the Village were very friendly and hospitable and our guide was a delight. Highly recommend this tour

We had a great time on this tour. Eneri was our tour guide, and he was amazing. It was a first class experience. I would highly recommend going in this tour. We loved the short hike at the garden of sleeping giants and loved all the little details that made it great like having a wonderful guide to tell us about each type of plant and ending our hike with fresh juices. The mudbath experience was very fun and very relaxing and wonderful end to the tour. The Hindu temple was beautiful and full of intricate paintings and history.

What a wonderful experience. A real eye opener to the true Fijian life and the unseen beauty of it's mountains. Henry was a wonderful host! Great sense of humor and happy to answer any questions we had. This will be a day I will never forget and I will be always thinking about that village and the people. If you are someone who wants to see how other cultures live and see the beauty that lays beyond the beaches and pools then this is the tour for you. I would urge anyone and everyone to do this tour.

Nice secluded island, that not so commercialized. Great snorkeling by boat or offshore. Island sits on a coral reef with an abundance of wildlife. Tea/coffee and cookies upon arrival in upstairs loft. Buffet lunch and soft drinks, with plenty of food options. Cook demo and basket making was a nice touch. Bring a towel, water shoes, hat, and suntan lotion. Recommend.
