Take the path that takes you back in time where the Fijian villagers of Navala are still living traditionally in their thatched roofing 'bures'. Navala village is neatly set up or carved into the side of the mountain of Ba. These villagers rely mostly on nature to supply their daily livelihood. They plant their own food supplies of root crops, fruits and vegetables. They get their seasonal supplies of wild fruits, yams and wild pigs from the jungle, bathe in cold waters of the upper source of Ba River and get refreshed with fresh air from the mountain ranges guarding the village. Enjoy the 'sevusevu' inside a Fijian 'bure' before being guided around the village by your local guide, visiting the remote primary school. Get first hand knowledge by your host about Fijian traditional lifestyle and get tucked into a tasty traditional lunch. Today provides an experience equal to none because Navala is the only village left in Fiji that maintains its traditional state for you to share.

There's more to see in Fiji - a day trip to Navala through the Nausori Highlands
There's a lot more to Fiji than its beautiful islands. Our family of 5 adults did the full day Ancient Trails Safari to the picturesque Navala Village advertised through Fiji 4WD Safaris operated by Rosie's Tours in early July 2025. It was a big day 7.30am to 7.00pm. We didn't have a 4WD but a mini-van to ourselves with a fantastic driver Sam and our guide Tui was a very knowledgeable and entertaining host. We were treated to a history of Fiji's culture, traditions, peoples, education and driving skills! A solemn kava ceremony and a vast home made lunch in an authentic bure at Navala was a real highlight of our Fijian adventure. The people of Navala were very happy to let us walk around their village to see their houses, school, church and traditional way of life. The return journey to Nadi on the road/track over the stunning Nausori Highlands through jungle and rivers was long and slow, the van wasn't quite the right vehicle, but well worth the effort as we made it to watch a fantastic sunset over the west coast and Mamanuca islands. Vinaka again to Tui and Sam for a wonderful day.
Response from the operator: Bula and thank you for sharing your experience, we are glad you had a great time on Ancient Trails Safari trip, its all about beauty Fiji offers with friendly people who gives heart out to make our guest holiday a enjoyable and memorable one. will share feedback with our team. vinaka

Authentic Fijian Village Full Day Culture Trip With Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Viti Levu.
How much does Authentic Fijian Village Full Day Culture Trip With Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $247 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Viti Levu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic Fijian Village Full Day Culture Trip With Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Viti Levu is not rushed.
Is Authentic Fijian Village Full Day Culture Trip With Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Viti Levu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Fijian Village Full Day Culture Trip With Lunch?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Authentic Fijian Village Full Day Culture Trip With Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Fijian Village Full Day Culture Trip With Lunch?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Viti Levu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Viti Levu and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Fijian Village Full Day Culture Trip With Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Viti Levu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Viti Levu?
+
On Outty we rank every Viti Levu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cruisin’ Fiji: Monuriki, Mana Sand Bar & Snorkelling Day Cruise, River Tubing Fiji, Navua River, Naihehe Cave Safari in Sigatoka with BBQ Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Viti Levu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Viti Levu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
