Highlights

Pick-up and scenic drive into Fiji’s rugged interior

Navai - Journey with our seasoned guides in our 4WD vehicles into Fiji’s rarely seen interior, beginning with a village stay at the start of the trail leading up to Mt Tomaniivi, the highest peak in Fiji.

Take on the challenging trail to the top of Fiji’s highest mountain, Mt Tomaniivi

Mount Tomanivi - Start your day with an early breakfast and embark on the steep, muddy trail before the heat sets in. On clear days, the summit offers breathtaking views, and the area is a protected forest reserve. The cloud forest is incredibly diverse, featuring various orchid species and endemic Fijian birds. The round trip is about 10km, but we allocate approximately 6 hours to allow for rest stops and a break at the summit.

Nadrau - After returning to the homestay in Navai, unwind and shower before continuing along the Nadrau plateau to the secluded Naga village. Enjoy spectacular views along the way. Settle into your new surroundings and, if you have the energy, take a short walk with a community guide before meeting your hosts and receiving a formal welcome. Engage in a talanoa (chat) over a bowl of kava and savor a fresh, locally sourced dinner prepared by the village.

Take in the views, and cool off in gentle rivers, as you hike a historic trail to Nubutautau village

Enjoy one of our favourite walks, a circular hike to a natural waterslide and through an old village site

Sigatoka - After your morning hike, leave Nubutautau and travel by 4WD vehicle down to Sigatoka, relishing the expansive views across the Ba and Sigatoka river watersheds, then proceed to Nadi or Suva to conclude your adventure.

Exactly what we were looking for.... - Our family - two adults, two teen boys - we looking for something more meaningful than a resort stay, the adults were looking for an experience that involved talking and walking. We walked through beautiful and varied terrain, up and down, paddocks at one stage, hauling ourselves up a vertical mountain holding onto tree roots at other times. I walk every day but was not prepared, it was still fabulous. The person at the back of our group had no ACL in one knee and needed two sticks, but still made it everywhere with the patient and kind guides from the villages. Dinners and nights in homestays and the village hall was great, feeling like I was eating decent food was great (the streets of Suva and Nadi have great Indian but not really "Fijian" if fast food/fried is discounted) - dahl, taro leaves in coconut milk, pumpkin curry, rice and all the tubers... I highly recommend wearing shoes with cleats, long sleeves with collar, cap, long pants with pockets. The guides bounced around in white gumboots and shorts, but it's their patch. Jake and the team were incredibly generous answering my questions about Fiji, the politics, the infrastructure projects this tourism helps to fund, gendered issues in the villages, were full of interesting information about the flora, introduced species, economics, how Fijian only has one third person pronoun... Glorious holiday, highly recommended.

Authentic beautiful adventure - Live my tour with Takanoa treks. Ben and Jake were great throughout and were very knowledgeable about local plants and history. We had an exceptional experience at all 3 villages we stayed at. The food was incredible and they were all so welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend getting to the highlands during a trip to Fiji to really experience an authentic experience.
