Escape the resort bubble and dive into Fiji’s rural soul on the Sigatoka River Cruise & Biausevu Waterfall Tour—a half- to full-day journey through riverine landscapes, village life and rainforest waterfalls, ideal for families, culture travellers and nature lovers alike.
Your guide picks you up from your Coral Coast or Sigatoka accommodation and drives you to the river launch point. From there, step aboard a traditional boat for a scenic cruise along the Sigatoka River, which winds through fertile farmland and mangrove-lined banks. The river valley is one of Fiji’s agricultural heartlands—observe villagers tending river-banks, mussel and prawn farms, and children waving as you pass. Keep an eye out for native birds and the occasional estuarine crocodile in the shallows.
Midway, disembark at a riverside Fijian village, where you are welcomed with a traditional kava ceremony and cultural orientation. Learn about Fijian customs, local agriculture, medicinal plants and daily life from your hosts. Children may even meet village school students—an authentic glimpse into rural culture.
Next, enjoy a short guided hike through tropical forest and multiple river crossings to reach the Biausevu Waterfall—a refreshing cascade feeding into crystal-clear plunge pools. The walk, around 20–30 minutes each way, passes seven small stream crossings and trails lined with native flora. At the waterfall, take time to swim, lounge on rocks or even cliff-jump (where safe), all under the care of experienced guides.
After nature has its fill, relax under shady bures or tree canopy with light refreshments—seasonal fruit, homemade juice, snacks and bottled water. Some operators include a light lunch at the falls or village.
This immersive tour lasts about 5–7 hours round-trip. Transportation, river boat, guided hike, waterfall swim, cultural welcome and refreshments are included; optional horse rides or village handicraft shopping are available at extra cost.
Reviewers consistently praise the tour as a highlight of inland Fiji. Families appreciate the safe, slow-paced hike; couples and solo travellers value the cultural depth and natural beauty. It’s often cited as a refreshing contrast to beach days and a meaningful way to support local communities directly.
Finish with return transport to your resort or Sigatoka. You’ll return feeling refreshed, enlightened, and connected—to the land, the people, and the quieter, greener Fiji that many travellers never see.
Typically 5–7 hours. Includes hotel pickup, scenic Sigatoka River cruise, village visit and kava ceremony, guided rainforest hike, waterfall swim, light refreshments, and return transport.
Yes. The trail is relatively flat with several short creek crossings. Children from about age 6+ enjoy the walk and swim with adult supervision. Guides match pace to all fitness levels.
Wear light, quick-dry clothes, reef or walking shoes, sun protection, insect repellent, swimwear, towel, water bottle, and a camera. A dry change of clothes is recommended after swimming.
This tour blends river cruise with a village cultural visit and waterfall hike. Other river safaris may include lovo lunch or school visits but often without the rainforest hike and swimming experience.
