I'd
easily
recommend
this
trip
to
anyone!
We
did
the
river
safari
(taking
the
scenic
river
tour,
visited
a
village
and
finally
got
back
on
the
river
to
head
home).
Our
boat
driver
and
tour
guide
was
Fabulous
Freddy.
He
was
very
kind,
taught
us
a
lot,
answered
all
our
questions,
with
his
Fijian
humor
on
full
display.
The
scenery
along
the
river
is
absolutely
spectacular,
serene,
and
beautiful!
The
village
we
stopped
off
at
was
Vunaqoru.
We
partook
in
a
yaqona
(kava)
ceremony
with
the
elders
and
village
chief
then
experienced
a
short
tour
of
the
village.
Then
we
had
a
meal
while
listening
to
music
and
we
got
to
get
our
dance
on.
As
the
elected
"chief"
representing
our
tour
group,
I
gave
a
short
1
minute
speech
just
thanking
them
immensely
for
their
generous
hospitality
and
that
it
was
an
absolute
honor
and
privilege
to
be
able
to
experience
their
village.
On
the
boat
ride
back,
we
got
to
help
some
village
children
cross
the
river...
we
spared
them
from
having
to
swim
the
river
despite
that
being
their
typical
daily
crossing
to
school.
Captain
Freddy
took
some
action-packed
turns
up
and
down
the
river
and
on
the
way
he
did
did
about
five
360's
that
got
everyone
wet.
If
you're
looking
for
an
educational
tourist
experience
that
will
also
be
fun,
sign
up
for
this
and
book
early
because
they
can
tend
to
sell
out.
Travel
tips:
1)
be
aware
of
proper
dress
attire
when
visiting
a
village;
2)
bring
a
change
of
clothes
and
a
bag
to
carry
the
wet
clothes
if
you
plan
on
doing
something
in
town
afterwards;
and
3)
if
you're
able,
bring
$100
Fiji,
to
leave
as
a
gift
to
the
village
you
visit.
$100
contributes
to
the
village
and
is
a
very
kind
gesture
to
help
their
people
out.
