Our Day Trips On The Coral Coast Of Fiji
Adventures
in Paradise is 100% Fijian owned and operated. We have 2 award winning
day trips, on the Coral Coast of Fiji which are all about showing
you the unique aspects of Fiji - the things that visitors rarely
get to experience. We combine authentic culture, nature and fun
in 2 totally different day trips. Do both if you have time - because
they are quite different from each other and certainly from anything
else - but if you only do one tour in Fiji, make sure its
one of these unforgettable and untouristy tours.
The
Waterfall Tour
You'll visit the home of a village chief and take part in authentic
ceremonies; get an insight into the local folklore and superstitions
- and hear about the days of voodoo & cannibalism.
You'll
learn about traditional plant medicines on a rustic rainforest trail
and you can swim with the 'gods' in the legendary waterfall. We'll
show you how to husk a coconut and serve tropical fruits while you
just relax and enjoy the therapeutic waters and mystical tranquility
of this magnificent natural setting.
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. Youll understand how legends are born in this tropical
paradise setting. This is the favourite swimming place of the legendary
Twins of Fiji.
The
Cave Tour
This is probably your best chance to experience a relaxing downstream
ride on a traditional bamboo bilibili. Ours are well balanced and
safe, and the warm shallow river is great for a dip!
The adventure begins in the famous Sigatoka Valley, where you'll
participate in customary kava rituals before a light trek across
local farmland & through native forest to visit the huge and
awesome Naihehe Caves.
The
cave is a natural wonder with extraordinary rock formations, a sacred
pond & legendary 'pregnancy gap' leading to the great Cathedral
Chamber. Airy and clean, it was once fortress to the last pagan
tribes of Fiji and you'll see some awesome reminders -the priest
chamber, a ritual platform and cannibal oven! We'll fill you in
on the historical facts and the superstitions.
Youll
hear the fascinating history of notorious Tongan warriors who reigned
supreme in this area and glimpse ancient hill fortresses of Tavuni
and Matanavatu.
