jewel of fiji tour
I paid aud $130 as a shore excursion on Carnival Spirit to go on this Jewel of Fiji day tour.
Here is info an a fijian travel site
Someone said there were 93 of us on this tour. Apparently it is the most people the village ever had to deal with in a single tour.
We were picked up from the pier in 2 buses and taken to the Navua river. On the way, each bus was asked to choose a Chief of the bus to represent all of us at the Kava ceremony. The bus chiefs had to drink the Kava. It was optional for the rest of the men.
At the Navua river, we were all assigned life vests and a place in a motorised long boat. They were very particular about everyone having a life vest and keeping it on at all times.
On the trip up river, we passed 8 waterfalls and some mini rapids to get to the Magic Waterfalls. There was a lagoon at the Magic Waterfalls where mostly every one went swimming. Not all at the same time. They had to manage our time. I was in a lead boat so I was getting on a boat to leave the Magic waterfalls while the last boat was arriving at the waterfall.
From the Magic Waterfalls, we were taken to a traditional Fijian village.
In case you are wondering about the comfort in the long boat. I weigh about 140kg. The trip was ok for me but I had to keep moving my legs around to stop them going to sleep.
There is no protection against sun or rain on the boat
I couldn't film the Kava ceremony as all men were required to take part lest we offend the village chief. I filmed some of the dancing afterward.
There was traditional Fijian food or western food available for lunch and it was an individual choice what to eat.
After lunch, the bus picked us up from the village and took us back to the pier.
