The Waterfall Tour is fantastic day out and great for some leisurely exercise in typical Fijian forest. Pick-up around 10 am - drive 15 minutes along the coast and 15 minutes inland. You’ll visit the village of the Biausevu tribe and participate in a "Kava Ceremony" with the Chief – if he’s home. Our visit is not set up, so if the Chief isn’t home, one of his spokesmen will receive us. This is the usual protocol. Next, you’re given bottled artesian water or soft drink, and we hit the walking trail to the waterfall. You’ll wander through several shallow streams – each one a photographer's delight, native bushland and lush tropical rainforest with guides who explain the traditional use of various plants along the way, including plant medicines. At the waterfall you’ll learn how to husk a coconut, eat tropical fruits and do some fish feeding. The waterfall itself is spectacular - dropping 120 feet down a rocky cliff into a picturesque swimming lagoon edged by giant ferns, wild red ginger and ancient Ivi trees with amazing root systems and hanging vines. You’ll understand how legends are born in this tropical paradise setting. This is the favourite swimming place of the legendary “Twins” of Fiji. The lagoon is not too deep so it's safe for young and old. There’s also a shallow rock pond ideal for infants or paddlers. After a refreshing dip, you’ll head back to the coast and visit a great little handicraft store - where you can purchase authentic village handicrafts, souvenirs etc at really good prices - much cheaper than town shopping and no hassling! Overlooking the Vatukarasa Bay, you’ll enjoy a late BBQ lunch with beer, artesian water and soft-drinks before heading home again - back to your Coral Coast hotel by 4 ish and in Nadi by 5.00 p.m. This tour is natural and rustic - no paved footpaths or handrails – but it's mostly flat and not very demanding. There are plenty of helping hands from very entertaining guides. Great for all ages of reasonable health, mobility and fitness. This tour is FJ$99.00 ex Coral Coast and FJ$119.00 including transfers ex Nadi - including guides, lunch and unlimited water, beer and soft drink throughout the day. Mon/ Wed/ Fridays by booking only.
Usual Tour size is 10 –15 people. Vegetarian and special meal requirements with 24 hours notice. Larger group bookings available on application. |
