What to expect
After cruising for an hour you will come to the Magic Waterfall, Navua's tallest cascade. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal clear pools beneath the falls before climbing aboard a bamboo raft for a smooth, 30-minute ride on the method of transport favored by Fiji's native ancestors.
Your next stop is a traditional village, where a Fijian Warrior will escort you to the bure, or village meeting house. Experience some of Fiji's age-old customs and traditions including the performance of a welcome yaqona ceremony where you have the opportunity to try kava, a local drink made from the root of the kava plant.
Learn about the history of village, which was established by a lone Englishman named John Humphrey Danford in the early 1800s. After a war dance performed by the young men of the village, perhaps test your own sense of rhythm by joining in with a 'snake dance.' Try your hand at tapa painting on traditional cloth and see women plaiting Fijian mats. Then it is time to unearth your lovo lunch – meat, fish and vegetables such as cassava and wild yams which are wrapped in banana leaves and cooked underground before being served with salads and fruit.
After lunch, your driver will return you to your hotel, where the tour ends.

This was one of the best things we did in Fiji, we took our 11 and 7 year old and they absolutely loved it. Our guide was fantastic and taught us a lot about the Fijian culture. The scenery is beautiful as is the swim to the waterfall. Back at the Village we had a delicious lunch and enjoyed the cava ceremony, dancing and singing, it was such a lovely authentic experience, cannot recommend enough.This was a very good and long tour. The waterfalls were amazing. The village ceremony was very special. The only issue was the bus logistics and the changes but not a big issue.

We love a waterfall and we love learning about other cultures - and this tour has both to the highest degree. It was absolutely pelting with rain the whole day and it was still a highly enjoyable experience. The staff and villagers are super friendly, talented and will answer any and all of your questions. They share Fijian culture and history generously and passionately. And, the lunch served in the village was one of the best we had in Fiji. Make sure you bring a change of clothes - especially if it's raining!Fantastic half day trip with food and fun activities for all ages. I’m very glad I booked this and saw this side of Fiji!
