South Pacific Travel Blog: Zip Fiji Takes Off
Zip Fiji Takes Off
Pacific Harbour on the south coast of Viti Levu, Fiji, is a world class scuba diving and whitewater rafting center. Now Zip Fiji is offering 1.5-hour rides on a series of eight cable runs through the rainforest canopy. Clients securely attacked to lines up to 200 meters long can attain speeds of 60 kilometers an hour as they zip between platforms from seven to 45 meters high. This sport was invented in Costa Rica, and in 2008 Zip Fiji became the first canopy tour operator in the South Pacific. The rides take place at Wainadoi village, 20 km east of Pacific Harbour, and transportation from the Arts Village is included in the $120 Fijian price ($60 for children under 12). You can save 10 percent by booking online through the website. There are six tours a day and it’s quite a thrill.

Tony’s Blog
"Zip Fiji set up near town - an exciting flying fox ride through Fiji`s luscious tropical forests. Unlike tropical jungles in places like South East Asia and South America, there are very few insects and creepy crawlies on this island to bother you. TheZip is a popular activity in the world`s cruise capital - The Carribean - where apparently there are some 70 such courses. Zip Fiji is the first in the South Pacific.
And it worked. Visitor ratings have apparently soared."

Rivers Fiji
Are you looking to experience the ultimate Fiji adventure? The Rivers Fiji management team has been in the whitewater rafting business for more than 25 years, and we are excited to share our enthusiasm for the exploration of wild rivers in Fiji with you.
Whether you're an experienced whitewater veteran or a complete novice we have a variety of options to accommodate a range of skill and interest levels. We explore class II-III whitewater aboard inflatable kayaks and whitewater rafts, experiencing some of Fiji's most spectacular terrain by floating in relative comfort along two of the country's premier liquid pathways, the Upper Navua Gorge and Wainikoroiluva.
We also offer a number of other Fiji adventures. Sea kayak amid turquoise blue waters ... snorkel incredible coral reefs ... kayak through a lush mangrove forest on our Deuba Coastal Sea Kayak trip... or experience a Fiji travel package incorporating all of these activities. We offer something for everyone from Fiji family vacations to Fiji honeymoon packages and much more.
Rivers Fiji is committed to sustainable tourism practices and we work very closely with neighboring riverside villages. Our guides grew up along the rivers we explore and know their environment better than anyone.
