Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Explore the Nakawaqa Rainforest, its waterfall and people during this picturesque, half-day sightseeing excursion.


Savusavu Town, Nakawaqa Rainforest, Wainiliku Creek

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 40-minute drive across the island en route to the Nakawaqa Rainforest, which is located in the north-eastern part of Savusavu Town. Upon arrival at the Nakawaqa Base, you are welcomed by the villagers and escorted to Wainiliku Creek, which is surrounded by approximately 200 acres (about 81 hectares) of virgin tropical rainforest with huge native trees and other species.


Nature Walk, Nakawaqa Waterfall, Freshwater Pools, Swimming

Whilst under the shade of the forest canopy, take an energetic hike up a slight incline to the approximately 50-foot (about 15-metre) Nakawaqa Waterfall, which cascades down a zig-zag path into the deep blue freshwater pools below. Upon arrival, choose from either of the two pools for a dip or refreshing swim.


Refreshment Stop, Local Handicrafts, Shopping

Following your swim, return on-foot to the waiting area for a refreshment stop and an opportunity to browse the local handicrafts available for sale. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 40-minute drive back to the pier.

Note

Please note: This tour involves a moderately strenuous amount of walking for approximately 547 yards-656 yards (about 500 metres-one kilometre), at times over uneven, natural and slippery surfaces, inclines and declines, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach. This tour is recommended for active guests in good physical condition. This tour is not suitable for guests with limited mobility and guests who utilise a wheelchair. Guests are advised to wear a swimsuit under a cover-up with flat, closed-toe and non-slip hiking shoes, and bring sun protection, insect repellent, a towel, change of clothing, bottled water, and credit cards or local currency for purchases from the ship. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian aged 18 years or older to participate on this tour. Operation of this tour is subject to weather conditions. The tour sequence may vary. Space on this tour is very limited; we suggest you book in advance to avoid disappointment. Fiji is a low-income country with very basic infrastructure, and vastly different to the western culture mentality. Local conditions may be challenging; therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Coaches, guides, hotels, restaurants, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. We thank you for your understanding.
