Pick-up: Suva (8:30am) or Nadi (12:00noon) | Drop-off: Suva (7pm)

Day 1:

We head to Lautoka and inland to the Koroyanitu Heritage Park and the village of Abaca. From here we climb up through dry tropical forest to the top of Mt Batilamu 1,110m, 9.5km), with great views down to sugar cane fields of the Nadi valley and out to the islands. We overnight in a small hut at the top and enjoy the night time views down to the lights of Nadi and Lautoka.

Day 2:

After catching the early morning views, from the hut we descend down back to Abaca and then head by road round to Tavua and inland and uphill to to a village at the base of Mt Tomaniivi, Fiji’s highest mountain, where we spend the night. If there’s time before dark we can stretch our legs on a short stroll. The Tomaniivi area is designated an Important Bird Area by Birdlife International, and you’re likely to hear and see many of Fiji’s endemic forest birds.

Day 3:

An early start and sees us heading up the steep slopes of Mt Tomanivi(1,323m, 9km), Fiji’s highest mountain, and our second peak. The cloud forest near the top is beautiful, with huge diversity flora, including several orchid species. On a clear day we’re rewarded with spectacular views across Viti Levu. After taking it all in, we drop back down to the village, then drive back to the coast and drop you at your accommodation.
