The
River
Sigatoka River is the longest river in Viti Levu (Fiji). Running
from the hills of the Navosa Province right down to the sand dunes
in Kulukulu.
The
river provides locals with fresh water mussels (kai), fresh fish,
prawns, eels, water for agriculture and for drinking.
The
river was used as the only means of transport from the coast to
the interior right up until the late 1950´s. The travel time
for many villagers from Navosa in those days was 3 days down alone,
with the return journey being even longer.
Today
this river is now open to tourists and locals to see first hand
the natural beauty of the river and interior, all from the comfort
of the safari jet boat.
