| The adventure
begins with a breath taking overland journey into the Namosi Highlands through the lush
rainforest interior of Viti Levu. Atop jungle passes, we enjoy breath-taking views of Beqa
Lagoon and other coastal areas until our descent into a beautiful and peaceful Namosi
Valley. Our journey through this idyllic countryside eventually leads us to the
Wainikoroiluva River where we take charge of our own inflatable kayaks. Following a brief training session we are off to face the
Class II whitewater and rock mazes of the 'Luva. Whether you're experiencing a good
old-fashioned water fight, a rejuvenating dip beneath a waterfall, a picnic lunch in a
garden grotto or the thrill of whitewater in your own inflatable kayak, we are sure this
portion of your journey will keep you entertained and yearning for more. At the confluence
of the 'Luva and Navua Rivers we board motorized longboats for the remainder of our trip
down the Lower Navua River. Winding our way downstream we are afforded views of cascading
waterfalls, lush rainforest, village life, and occasionally a glimpse of the fruit bat,
harrier hawk, kingfisher, parrot and heron that make this canyon their home. |
In the remote highlands of Viti Levu lies one of the most unique river
trips on earth. Slicing a deep chasm through the island's tropical interior, the Upper
Navua River is our hidden pathway to a pristine tropical wilderness. Shrouded in lush rain
forest, fed by countless waterfalls and protected by challenging rapids, the headwaters of
the Upper Navua have remained unexplored and unknown to all but the most intrepid
adventurers - until now. Join us on this remarkable journey into paradise where you and
your expert guides negotiate exciting whitewater, experience highlands culture, explore
hidden grottos, cool off beneath cascading waterfalls, search for exotic wildlife, and
hike amidst emerald forests. For fun, adventure, and uncommon beauty, this full-day river
trip has it all.
This is a special trip not because of one unique
attribute upon which the success of the trip is based, but many special and scenically
significant places each individually worthy of special recognition. Literally speaking
there is not one waterfall but many, some say at least 70,not one short stretch of deep,
narrow canyon, but kilometers. This is a place where black volcanic walls are at points
barely 7 meters apart and over 40 meters high and fringed by emerald rainforest. This is a
place where man has been merely an intermittent visitor at best, where some of the wildest
and most beautiful Fiji can still be found. |
