Highlights
  • Nausori Highlands - Begin your hiking adventure with pickup at your hotel in Nadi and a scenic ride. As you drive, listen to your guides talk about the ‘off-the-beaten-path’ areas of Fiji, through which you’ll begin to understand more about daily life in this island nation. Sights include sugar cane farms, beaches, and the village settlements. Some exciting off-road driving is in store as well. The drive takes about an hour total, and your guides will stop at a local supermarket in case you want to buy snacks and water.

Hit the trail head and head off through the forest, looking out for plants used in traditional island medicine and other species that are highly poisonous. Your turnaround point is a waterfall, where you’re welcome to take a dip and cool off.

Arrive at a village for lunch in the home of a local family. Over traditional Fijian food, learn about their daily life and the challenges they face living so far from community resources like public transportation and grocery stores.

At the conclusion of your activity, you’ll be dropped off back at your accommodation in Nadi.

Amazing experience in a secret place - The experience was awesome ! Ray is really nice and he brought us to a wonderful hidden place in the middle of the mountains, amazing views on the valley, the mountains around and on Nadi Bay. I went for an afternoon hike and we saw an in incredible sunset, definitely recommend it ! We also met locals in the small village of Naurosi, it was a real authentic experience, and Pita, our guide for the hike which takes place on his land invited us for a lemongrass tea and Fijian pancakes in his farm house. If you ever go to Nadi and want to experience something more authentic and original, just go for it !

Great adventure in a secret paradise - I loved this adventure ! Surely one of the highlights of my trip in Fiji ! Ray is really nice and brought me to a wonderful secret place in the mountains, to meet locals in a small village, to see wonderful views and sunset. I needed something different than going to the beach and it was just perfect !

Visiting a local place is... - Visiting a local place is not so easy as we think. Thanks to them, we had a chance to see a beautiful and uncontaminated area surrounded by thousands of plants, trees and few animals. The guide knows perfectly where to go even there is no pathway. At the top, the view is marvellous. We were there for the sunset. Little bit harder to come back with no proper lights but everyone can survive. Bring a jumper because it's a bit cold but must be done. Really friendly crew and worth it

Perfect combination of culture and beauty - Nausori Highlands is breathtaking. The mountains in Fiji are not marketed as well as the islands, but I highly recommend everyone to do a hike to not only see the stunning views but to also experience the Fijian culture in the local village. I was given cold water, electrolytes and bars from the tour guides. Once we got to the village in the mountains, the local guide offered fresh coffee and bread. After the hike, we got more bread and traditional lemongrass tea. The description said there was lunch included so be prepared for just snacks. I also thought we were going to see the Waterfall, but we didn't do that either (maybe because of the weather from the previous nignt). The ride up to the start of the hike is amazing. On the way down, I stood on the back of the pickup truck to take in all the views even more, plus it was a fun way to ride down! The hike itself is not strenuous. It rained the night before for my group so the trail was a bit muddy and slippery, but it was really easy for me to clean my shoes afterwards. Post hike, Ray was extremely kind to take me to my AirBnB, wait for me to get changed, then took me to a gym (currently preparing for a tournament so I couldn't take many days off training atm - but proof that the hike is very manageable as I could workout in the same day). In conclusion, really loved Nausori Highlands - pictures/videos don't do it justice. Tips: Wear leggings/light athletic pants (you walk though tall grass/plants most of the way) Wear mosquito/bug repellent Eat breakfast

Solid - Solid hike. Coming from Canada (Vancouver) where I have done a ton of hikes that are challenging I was bit nervous with the heat and humid. But this one was perfect for weather conditions and Fiji warmer weather.

Wonderful Fiji Highlands Hike. - Fantastic trip. Great truck ride up into the mountains circa 90 mins on gravel roads - beautiful views. Knowledgeable guides. Hike not too long and not too strenuous. Views from the summit are spectacular. Waterfall on way back down to village - can swim if you want. Visited local farm and had lunch and lemon tea is farmers hut - tasty. Great day out.

Get out to experience true Fiji - This was a truly wonderful experience. The guides were excellent on local information and the lifestyle of the Fijian farmers, their villages and culture. The hike is not too strenuous or too long.

Good tour bad guide - Views were amazing but guide probably needs to learn how to respect his job and others. Guide wanted to promote his business and used my time during my tour to speak to strangers that we met. Kept telling them to call him. Repeated 4-5 times to “donate” to the village but he’s rich - owns the land, private waterfall and cattle. Food prepared were extremely unhygienic and only vegetables. Guide was 4-5m ahead with no explanations of any culture nor heritage. Emailed the owner of the agency and be was so nice, promised to look into it. Thus, this is not to put down the tour, the toute itself was wonderful just the guide. He should do his job properly because he’s paid and not only do it because he expects to be tipped.

Amazing tour but guide needs to be changed - (+) Overall the tour is good because you get to see the village and learn about their way of life and it’s not the usual track in Fiji. Beautiful scenery and the views were amazing. (-) The guide Peter had many positive reviews yes. That’s exactly the reason why I booked the tour. However, when I was there, I was really abhorred at the hygiene standards and the cup that they used to serve the kava is being used repeatedly which was why I turned down the drink but the guide was unhappy. Yes I respect the culture but at the same time, I would also like to be respected when I do not want to drink it. He wasn’t interested in showing me the village, no stories exchange no talks no nothing. For the entire trail, he walked 4-5m ahead and it was raining too. I felt that it would have been done better by letting us know in advance what to expect of the route. Luckily I had an umbrella with me. Through out the entire session, he kept asking me to donate to the village. He has land, owns cattle and has a private waterfall. I really think he is well off enough which was attested by the driver. Donations are non obligatory, why am I coerced into donating? I didn’t have any money with me as I haven’t got a chance to exchange it and he told the driver to drive me to town, exchange and give it to him. While hiking, we met a Bhutanese family and he went to exchange contact and we stood there while he chatted for 15 mins. If you can’t even do your job when I’ve paid, what makes you think you can do it for others? I felt like it was a bit of discrimination for Asian clients (tipping is not in our culture) so if he served Caucasian clients he might get a fat tip. Overall Ray the owner was amazing, I spoke to him before I posted the review and he gave his word that if I were to revisit, he will take me up the trail personally. I appreciate that because he values the comments! My review is not to put the tour down because it was an amazing tour! It is to let others know that it’s not a comfortable tour and the lunch is prepared by the locals which is mostly vegetarian so if you are not accustomed to it, eat beforehand and after. Also we are not obligated to donate, decline firmly.
