Fiji: Highland Escape Hiking Trip

3 days / 2 nights | Discover a less seen side of Fiji during this highland escape. Stay in remote villages and trek along rugged trails with guides from the local communities. Enjoy cooling rivers and big views. Transport | Provided in our Talanoa Treks 4×4 Toyota Hiluxes and/or with our transport partner Pehicle (pehicle.com). These vehicles will also transport or luggage from point-to-point so you only hike with a day pack. Pick-up / Drop-off points | We will pick-up from Nadi, Suva or the Suncoast (Rakiraki area), and can drop in Nadi, along the Coral Coast, or back in Suva. Please enquire if you would like to return to the Suncoast, as this may be possible. Accommodation | Sleeping is dorm-style in the community hall with mattresses and blankets provided. This feels a little bit like indoor camping, but with plenty of space to spread out. If you’d like to social distance or want extra privacy, you are more than welcome to bring a tent and sleeping mat.

Pricing | Talanoa Treks is run as a social enterprise in partnership with the communities that you visit. Payments to the villages for accommodation, hosting, meals, and guides are included in what you pay. Your payment also covers our support to the communities in the form of various training programmes, including first aid, guiding, governance and financial management, cooking and food preparation, food hygiene and safety, as well as the provision and maintenance of the facilities that you use, the equipment that you see (and all the safety equipment that hopefully you don’t see!), the vehicle that accompanies you, and our trip coordination role. Plus, all the boring stuff like insurance, vehicle maintenance, and taxes.
