Simply amazing! The Navua River is surrounded by the most beautiful plant life. The village was a fantastic experience. The people are so friendly.

Interesting insight as to how life was in a Fiji village before modernisation.

Pick up at Pacific Harbor was good, they picked us up at our resort The Uprising, which isn't on their pick up list, but they do make exceptions if your resort is along the way. Coach transfer was fine, nice air con coach. Only a 20 minute drive from Pacific Harbor. Tour is done up motor boat, the trip up and down the river was nice, but there are much better sections which you don't get to see further up the river We saw this on another tour, nice greenery, few water falls, friendly locals swimming, cleaning in the river. Once we reached the village, it was a bit awkward, you are ushered into a large hut where you sit down and get to ask questions, my advise to everyone is have a few questions lined up before you go, we had a few awkward silences in our group because no one was asking anything! I had a few pop into my head quickly so got out of that situation! This village is by no means a traditional village, it has a lot of mod cons, electricity, telephone, running water, but the people in the village are obviously very poor. Which brings me to my next point. You feel pressured into buying souvenirs, the people selling the items are in the hut your meet in, so it's impossible not to at least have a look, or else you feel pretty rude. Most of it was junk, plastic beads necklaces, there were a few good items though. The lunch provided was very nice with many types of local plants and vegetables used, very tasty experience. Overall a nice look into MODERN Fiji village life, tour guide seems to rush things a little, they probably operate this tour on a daily basis.

Nice boat trip up the river, but would not recommend if not staying near Navua or the Coral Coast. Too long a bus trip from the west coast.

The coach trip was too long, and the guide thought she could sing to us.
