Top Pacific Harbour Dining Experiences

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!

Had an amazing time river tubing! It was definitely a long drive to get there, but the experience was worth it. The whole adventure was fun and a great way to enjoy the outdoors. The beautiful scenery, refreshing river, and friendly atmosphere made it a very memorable experience. Patrick was a great guide—friendly, helpful, and made the experience even more enjoyable. If possible, I’d recommend staying somewhere closer to the river to make the trip easier and more enjoyable. Overall, I’d happily do it again and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun outdoor adventure!

We loved this tour, Leon and the team were knowledgeable, willing to share and answer all our questions. From the long boat ride, village tour, waterfall swim, lunch and tubing is was all alot of fun and great value for money. Highly recommended.

What an incredible day! Fiji River Tubing was easily one of the best experiences of our entire trip.The day started with around an hour to an hour and a half boat ride up the river to a remote Fijian village, where we were able to experience a glimpse of everyday life in a riverside community. From there, we visited a beautiful waterfall for a swim before enjoying a delicious BBQ buffet lunch.After lunch, we jumped into our river tubes and floated downstream surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery we have ever seen. The entire area is absolutely stunning and unlike anything we had experienced before.Patrick was our guide and he was incredible. He was knowledgeable, friendly and absolutely fantastic with our kids. He genuinely made the experience even more enjoyable and is a huge credit to the team.The perfect ending to the day was the guides singing for us on the boat ride back. It was such a beautiful moment and genuinely gave everyone goosebumps.If you’re visiting Fiji, I cannot recommend this experience enough. The combination of the village visit, waterfall, river tubing, incredible scenery and wonderful guides made it truly unforgettable.An absolute must-do in Fiji and the highlight of our whole trip.

The whole day was well organised and they could not do enough to help us. The visit to the village was a special experience as we got to interact with the Villagers and learn about their way of life. The lunch was delicious in a gorgeous setting and the tubing was fun with lots of laughs. Swimming at the waterfall was stunning.

This day tour is a great mix of scenery, Fijian culture (village visit), relaxing and fun!It’s closer to Suva than Nadi, it’s a long 12-13hr trip from Nadi, but is worth it. Transfers will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you there, to Navua.Tour operator provides lifejackets to wear & lockers at reception for your stuff.Travel 16km up the Navua River by long narrow motorised boats, through pristine and untouched beautiful rainforest on hills either side.Stop at the local Fijian village that proceeds from this tour subsidises. Your shoulders to below the knees needs to be covered up. There is a lot of steps and an uphill climb. See and hear how the Fijian villagers live and grow crops. Then sail back downstream to stop for a short walk to a spectacular 100m drop waterfall, that you can swim at and around at the bottom.Sail further downstream to park at a riverbank, for a generous lunch. After lunch, put your life jackets back on and get a safety demonstration on how to sail downstream on the rubber tubes. Guides will escort you all the way.The natural current will guide you downstream but then you have to navigate down four separate sets of rapids, which is great fun, for 6kms! A great mix of relaxation, zen, scenery, history and fun.At the lazy point of the river, re-board the boats, to sail downstream back to the boarding point. Showers & toilets are there for you to change out of your wet bathers into dry clothes.Your transfer will return you back to your accommodation.Highly recommend this tour for all ages, without any mobility issues.

Must do while in Fiji. Guides were entertaining and friendly and the food and the scenery were amazing.

Awesome day, great lunch and interesting visiting an isolated Fijian village and seeing how they live

The best experience of the whole trip, the day was rainy but it didn’t take away from the experience. Baley the tour guide was awesome and all the guides were amazing and helped everyone, lunch was fantastic but the best part was going into one of the villages and just being blown away by how beautiful they all were. Going down the rapids was so much fun!!💯 recommend this activity and I will definitely go again when I come back! Vinaka

We had a great day with our guide, Bale, who shared his own experiences, stories, and words of wisdom. We loved seeing a different side of Fiji - the tropical rainforest, mountains and waterfalls, and the traditional village way of life. The tour company provided rain slickers (thank goodness! It was cold and wet!) and lockers, and rented us dry bags. Make sure to bring good water shoes and a hat, as well as a towel and a dry change of clothes! Tubing was a lot of fun, and Bale made it a pleasure. And all the guides serenaded us toward the end of the journey! Stunning scenery. This side of the island is apparently often rainy, so be prepared for that.

This trip is a must do! What an amazing experience. Visiting a village on the river , learning their culture. The waterfalls were beautiful. The staff were absolutely wonderful, accommodating and the most friendliest people. On a scale from 1-10 I give an 11. Solo the head guide was unbelievably accommodating and so warm and friendly. Again, a must do

This was without question the highlight of our visit to Fiji! The guides were friendly, funny, and extremely generous in the sharing of their culture. Every step of this adventure was magical -- from the initial long boat ride, to the village visit, the waterfall swim, and a delicious lunch. On the tubing ride back, our guides sang for us and it was so beautiful I was brought to tears. If you're staying at a resort, I highly recommend doing this tour and experiencing a part of Fiji you wouldn't see otherwise.

The tour guides are awesome and they will take care of you and your children during the whole experience. A must when you visit! If your not capable of doing any part of the tour, they will put you on the boat so you dont have to worry.

We had a time. Naseem was our guide. He was very informative. He made the trip a great experience. 10/10.

This genuinely lived up to the hype. Full day out of Suva: longboat ride upriver through the rainforest and rocky gorges, a real Fijian village visit, a waterfall swim, riverside lunch, then a fun, lazy tube ride back down the river to finish.The staff made the whole day. Both captains, the instructors, everyone who looked after us, all local Fijians who genuinely knew and loved the culture and history. At the village, they explained how everything worked and gave real context on the community, not a rehearsed tour spiel.After the village, we walked uphill through a forest garden trail back toward the river, and the guides pointed out local flora along the way, including giant bamboo so tall it arched over, something I'd never seen before. They explained what each plant was, how they found and used it, and what traditional medicines are made from them locally. Genuinely fascinating.On the drive back, one of the guides shared so much Fiji history, the river, other rivers, nature, even the history of cannibalism, all fascinating.I'd done river tubing before elsewhere and expected more of the same. The village visit, the garden walk, and the people running the tour made this a completely different, genuinely special cultural experience. Highly recommend.
