Take a local bus to Nasali at the Rewa Delta. From there, you'll pass grassy plains and small villages as you travel downriver by longboat.
Enjoy a traditional Fijian welcome song and ceremony from the friendly villagers at Naililii (pronounced Ny-lee-lily). The priest invites you into the beautiful Naililili Church, built by Catholic missionaries in the early 1800s.
Board the Long boat on your way to Waivou where they will garland with flowers and serenade you.
In Waivou village, a warrior welcomes you into the arena for a kava ceremony, including traditional dances. Tour the village before transferring back to the pier.
