Take a Sigatoka River Safari
Jet-boat safaris exploring the Sigatoka River run right into the Fijian heartland. The river is the longest on the island of Viti Levu, and runs from the hills of the Navosa Province into the sand dunes in Kulukulu on the Coral Coast. This freshwater river is so clear that you can view the marine life, including eels, prawns, mussels and a variety of fish, swimming just beneath the surface. Excursions also include tours of the island and a look at native life with traditional foods and entertainment.

Fiji enjoys a sunny, tropical climate year-round, but the best time to go is during the dry season, or Fijian winter, from May to October, when temperatures are milder and less humid. |
