Overview

The Upper Navua River cuts a gorge through the highlands of Viti Levu, and this full-day trip from Rivers Fiji Pte Ltd runs rafts down it. Paddlers take on class II-III whitewater between black volcanic walls that in places stand over forty meters high and sit barely five meters apart. Waterfalls spill directly into the canyon, dozens of them along the run.

The day is not only rafting. The trip also includes a hike through the rainforest, exploring hidden grottoes, and viewing the numerous waterfalls that drop into the canyon. One reviewer described swimming in the river and going under waterfalls, though the listing itself promises the rapids, the hike and the falls. Lunch, snacks and drinks are provided, and helmet and life vest are supplied.

It suits reasonably active travellers who want a long day of paddling and hiking in remote terrain. Pickup is not part of this booking. The listing mentions pickup options from Nadi to Pacific Harbour, so confirm arrangements on the live booking page before the day.

What To Expect From The Tour

Here is what to sort out before you go, based on the listing and what travellers report back.

What to wear. Pack quick-dry clothing and comfortable shoes, as everything on the river gets wet. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent for the rainforest sections.
Photos. A waterproof camera is on the packing list. Some reviewers have posted photos alongside their reviews, so a camera that can handle water is the way to capture the day.
Fitness and pace. The day mixes paddling class II-III whitewater with a rainforest hike, so a baseline of fitness and comfort in water helps.
Food and drink. Snacks, lunch and drinks are all included, along with helmet and life vest. You do not need to carry a full day of food with you.
Guides and stories. Reviewers praise the guides, with one describing stories about his village shared during the trip. Several travellers single out the guide as a highlight of the day.
Getting there. Pickup is not part of this booking. The listing mentions pickup options from Nadi to Pacific Harbour, so check the booking page to arrange transport before the day.

Common issues. This is a long, physical day in a remote river canyon, so it does not suit travellers who cannot hike or swim comfortably or who want a short outing. Pickup is not included with the booking, so confirm transport before the day. Littering is not allowed anywhere in the canyon.
