The whole tour was brillant and well organised. Dined with the local village, met the Village elder. The smiles were something that you never forget.

This was one of the most memorable experiences ever! Freddy was the ultimate tour guide and skipper. We jetted up the river and back in the new world. Our time in the village was as real as you could get. The only way it could be more real was if we spent the night. The Fijian people were all so... More

We went on Cpt. Jacks boat. He stopped at a few places while we were heading to the village to explain the mountains, areas and even some mountain goats. His knowledge about the area was great. The village we went to was his village too. We then were taken around the village by the local spokesperson and then went for... More

Good jet over ride with well trained guides and cultural experience. Good tip if up front you'll get very wet. If up the back you will get very wet. The food was good except the Town Hall you eat in making a large Australian like me sweat a lot.(I blamed it on the humidity) Not the prior 10 days of... More

If you want to experience the real Fiji, this is the tour for you. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to Sigatoka for a bit of souvenir shopping before being taken on a 20 minute drive to the boat by V and Mess who were really entertaining with lots of information about the local area. We boarded... More

A fantastic trip up the up the Sigatoka Valley to the staging point for the River trip on jetboats, this trip highlights the 'food bowl' of Fiji with it's farms of vegetables and fruits. After trips up the river we then visited a local village and were welcomed by the villagers and shown around a typical Fijian Village (Mavua Village)... More

Every year we visit the same village and every year I have a really fun time on the jet boat or in the village. The staff are great. The jet boat was fun. The village experience is indescribable. It is a must do.

This tour is a must do. For $279FJD ($150AUD), we definitely got our money's worth. Definitely a good idea to bring a change of clothes. We got picked up from the Warwick resort and got taken to the Sigatoka town where we got out, signed a limitation of liability statement like thing. We each received a small bottle of water... More

This experience is a 'must do' whilst in Fiji. A wild & fast jet boat ride along the Sigatoka, local villagers crossing the river on horseback, dodging submerged trees, flying along small rapids, waving to fijians fishing for their lunch and this is just the transport to the real experience, an authentic Fijian village! We had a 3 and 5... More
