Fiji zip trekking

Fiji zip trekking

As Kelly Landry discovered, Fiji isn't just about sun, sand and water — it has thousands of hectares of fantastic rainforest. However, if you aren't particularly enamoured by bushwalking but still enjoy an adventure, do what Kelly did and take a canopy tour, known as zip trekking.

Zip trekking originated in Costa Rica and uses specialised climbing equipment to ride steel cables between two fixed points, in the case of Fiji, platforms as high as 45m off the ground.

You are strapped into a harness and connected to a wire known as a zip line and you slide along, making stops at 10 platforms along the way. There you can enjoy the beauty of the rainforest canopy and chat to local guides about the area.

It takes around an hour to do the eight runs on the canopy tour, but you can go around as many times as you wish. You do have a brake to slow things down, but once you feel confident and give the brake a miss, you will fly above the trees at about 60km/h.

At the end of the ride you encounter the Scream line, the longest zip in the South Pacific, running 200m across a river.

While a little apprehensive at first and admitting a zip experience is not for the faint hearted, Kelly ended up pronouncing it was great fun. But she was pleased to know there were plenty of guides to keep you safe and who will tow you in if you should get stuck.

Fiji’s Tourism industry has been largely unaffected by the recent flooding


20th of January 2009

PRESS RELEASE


Tourism Fiji in collaboration with key industry partners including the Fiji Islands Hotel and Tourism Association (FIHTA), Society of Fiji Travel Associates (SOFTA) and Air Pacific confirmed that the necessary infrastructure, facilities and equipment to operate Fiji’s Tourism industry has been largely unaffected by the recent flooding with only minor damage reported by member Hotels, Resorts, Transport, Transfer and Cruise Operators, and International and Domestic airlines.

The industry is unified in its efforts and working hard to reassure visitor’s considering travel to Fiji to take advantage of Fiji’s tropical climate, excellent deals and of course to enjoy Fiji’s biggest asset – it’s warm, friendly people.

Key strategies to lure visitors to our shores include wide ranging familiarization visits commencing early next week to key tourism areas by prominent Travel Wholesalers, Travel Agents and Trade Press to demonstrate first hand the experiences Fiji has to offer. This will be followed up by great value holiday deals initially in the key source markets of Australia and New Zealand driven by Tourism Fiji and its partners.


In a meeting with the Minister for Tourism on Monday, the Minister reinforced his support for the industry and assured stakeholders that Government will facilitate road upgrading and other necessary infrastructure works to key Tourism areas as a priority. Government recognizes the resilience of the Tourism industry, its ability to quickly facilitate economic recovery, and its widespread importance to the local community.


The private sector continues to invest heavily in the industry with new hotel developments coming on line this year and new routes being opened up by Air Pacific.

Fiji’s Tourism Industry offers a wide range of Holiday experiences for local and international tourists, and support to Fiji’s tourism industry is critical to generate important foreign exchange enabling assistance to areas that have sustained damage by flooding.

The Tourism industry acknowledges and thanks the support offered by Government and global industry partners and will continue to cooperate closely with key stakeholders to achieve targeted visitor arrivals. The industry also realizes the importance of working with the media and seeks their support in the recovery process.
