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). They will garland you with flowers and serenade you. The priest invites you into the beautiful Naililili Church, built by Catholic missionaries in the early 1800s.
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.
Notes:
Tour does not operate on Sundays. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water.
