The Navua River area

The Navua is an agricultural area that is a 20-minute ride from Suva is on the banks of the large Navua River.  Upriver there are beautiful gorges and waterfalls.  Many tour companies take you on tours of this area. 

 One of the best experiences is to go river rafting - Fiji style.  You travel downstream on a bilibili raft (a bamboo raft tied together with a handful of vines).  The rafts carry about 12 people.  Your river journey begins upstream and as you float back down, the Navua River passes through some of the most spectacular rain forest on Viti Levu.    You can also visit the Navua River Village on another tour.
