Additional Information

Our unique Off Road adventure takes you deep into the heart of Fiji using specially designed vehicles. Your guides will enliven the trip by sharing the fascinating history of the area and introducing you to the traditional Fijian way of life.

Venturing off the beaten path allows you to personally experience the historical and geological sites that have remained untouched since ancient times.

The Off Road Cave Safari is a half-day expedition (4.5 hours) that culminates in a spectacular visit to Fiji’s most stunning cave system, the Naihehe Cave.

An integral part of this journey is requesting permission from the Bete (priests) before exploring the cave system.

Your guides will provide an in-depth understanding of the role these caves held during the Fijian wars and the importance of this region in Fiji’s final war.

Beautiful, interesting, natural, cultural experience! - Great day out!! Funny, friendly, welcoming staff. Beautiful scenery over Sigatoka river valley area. Interesting (but sad) stories about caves. No development within caves so all very natural inside. Wear provided headlamps. Shoes get wet so wear reef shoes. Deepest water approx btw thigh height. Surprisingly water not very cold. Lunch bbq sausages and veg, and salad on bread-delicious!! Flush toilet available at lunch. Kava ceremony-great, different experience. And can politely refuse if you don’t wish to have some. But I recommend having some to be part of the experience:)

Don't miss this tour, it's the perfect way to see the real Fiji. - Absolutely loved this tour. A truly authentic experience, where you get to see how the people of villages really live. Sadam and Moses were the most wonderful guides, and with both of them being from the village we visited they were a wealth of knowledge and provided a great insight into the history of the province. Every person we met was welcoming, warm and took us in with open arms. If everyone in the world was more like the Fijians the world would be a much better place. If you visit Fiji and don't do this safari, you're really missing out on seeing the real Fiji. Thank you Sadam and Moses we LOVED IT !!

Memory to last a life time. - The whole trip was memorable thanks to the guides, the Chief of the village, the cave itself. Everything. Special thanks to Sadam for helping this old lady over many of the ‘tougher’ spots in the cave!!

FIJI FAMILY FOREVER - AUTHENTIC truly enlightening! SADAM is the FUNNIEST most informative tour guide I've ever had. He and MOSES were our guides and the best hosts. Sadam helped the ones that needed help the entire way thru the cave and has so much love for his family and home it truly shows in his work. TIA and ZAC were also helpful and very patient with all of us. I would love to be a part of this family any time. They truly make you feel like you already are. Do it you will not regret it! Thank you for the memories 💚🖤

Not to be missed! - Make sure you save time in your vacation to do this tour. A amazing day of experiences ... atv ride, village visit, cave ceremony, awestruck at the cave, fabulous lunch. And on top of this, the commentary by Lesley, Moses, Suddam and Zac throughout the day made it twice as good. Saddam and Moses have such a strong cultural connection with the area, and their knowledge of both current day and history really made this outing the absolute best!

Fabulous Cave Experience - What a terrific professional friendly tour! I’ve been to Fiji several times and had never been in this beautiful part of Fiji. Big shout out to Moses, Tia, Terri and Ace for their welcoming Fiji fun. The tour itself was informative and very scenic. The caves were stunning and accessible for all ages. The welcome ceremony by the priest was moving and cultures all of attending was shared. The bbq lunch was yum! A fabulous day all around and highly recommend.

Great tour 2nd time around - staff are amazing - Early pick up - 6.30, as we stayed the night prior at The Gateway as we flew in late. Our bus driver “Knox” was great, getting us there & back safely & giving a knowledgeable commentary as well. A quick stop at Sigatoka office to sign the necessary paper work, ladies are given their sarongs & off we went. A 30 minute drive to where everyone boards the boats for whichever tour you’re doing. It was very picturesque along the way. There are toilets there too. Into life jackets, across the river in the boat & out of the boat & up a small hill into our jeeps for the long trek to the caves. We had a stop along the way - to see the beautiful view & glimpse the Jet Boat riders. The tour also takes your photo which you can purchase if you want. The jeep ride was fun passing through the villages & we were lucky as school holidays had just started, , so there was lots of kids shouting BULA as we went by & Hi fives as well. At the Priests house, we missed the Kava ceremony as the Priest wasn’t there but his 6 yr old grand son gave us permission to enter the cave. You wear the sarong into the Priests house.There is a toilet you can use. You’re given a head lamp & then a little trek down to the cave, a few steps down & you’re there. You do have to then bend down & go sideways to enter the big cave (or you can crawl through if you need to). It’s really interesting. Then you have a yummy BBQ lunch before returning to Sigatoka & transferred to your hotel. Wear or take reef shoes!

Meeting the locals of Fiji in their homes. - It was great morning very organised and all the team were very friendly. Our tour guides Una and Moses were eceptional and showed us plenty of Fiji local culture. Well worth the time taken to get there.

Best Fiji Experience - Great ride through the villages and so much info and history that really gave us a glimpse into Fiji village life. The cave experience was fantastic along with the kava and lunch. Sudam and Moses made our trip so special. It was a fabulous day. I'd hate to visit Fiji and miss this opportunity! Take this tour!
