Fiji Adventures

Fiji

This peaceful island nation shelters a little-known core of remote rainforest highlands, opulent gorges of green and crystalline jungle waters all but unseen...until now.

Ni Sa Bula. Pronounced "ni sahm boola" - "hello" in Fijian - a greeting you'll know well, after only a short time in this friendly South Pacific paradise. As large as its legend for soul-soothing hospitality, Fiji's seascape is the stuff of surreal chronicle. Waters of midnight blue, azure and turquoise hug white silk shores, protect rainbow coral reefs and serve as home to a magic myriad of fragile ocean lifeforms. The nation is revered for its surf, sailing and scuba bounty. But there's even more, on high.

And that's where O.A.R.S. takes you. Atop Viti Levu, the largest island in the Fijian archipelago, where two fantastic rivers run, all but unknown to the outside world until recently. Flowing full with jungle rainwater, the Wainikoroiluva and Upper Navua are an integral part of the island's beauty, running through green velvet gorges, past verdant nooks, caves and riverside villages thousands of years old. Here, another Fiji awaits – Fiji whitewater rafting awaits.

THE FACTS:
In the fall of 2000, we signed the final papers for a 25-year lease of the land extending 200 meters on either side of the Upper Navua River to establish the Upper Navua Conservation Area in Fiji. The lease precludes logging, road building or mining in the fragile river corridor and contributes to the ecological preservation of the area and our long-term commitment to the integrity of Upper Navua Gorge. We employ local guides and pay the lease to local landowners with proceeds generated from our trips in the region. Simply put, our approach to business defines Fiji ecotourism.
