Vanuatu & Fiji Adventure

Uncover the marvels of Vanuatu and Fiji on a 15-day adventure that combines relaxation and exploration. Start by immersing yourself in Vanuatu – get out into pristine tropical wilderness as you hike around an active volcano, kayak along the Rentapao River and swim through Pele’s crystal-clear waters. Then continue the adventure among Fiji’s picturesque coast and highlands. Ride down rapids of Upper Navua Gorge, hike to the breathtaking Savulelele Waterfall and snorkel off remote beaches at Nananu-i-Ra Island. End each day by admiring South Pacific sunsets with your fellow travellers, and you’ve got a recipe for one unforgettable adventure. The flight from Port Vila to Nadi is not included. Please see the itinerary for information on recommended flight details.Due to frequent flight delays on Air Vanuatu, we highly recommend allowing additional days in destination before and your tour or to consider flying Virgin, Fiji Airways or Air Cailin to Port Vila.Part of travelling with Intrepid means respecting local cultures and sensibilities. That way you get the most out of your interactions with local people and environments. We ask for you to please be aware of cultural considerations when entering and staying in local villages. Your tour leader and local guides will assist with local etiquette.As we stay in some locations where there are few options for eating out, some meals may be set menus rather than being able to choose from a variety of options. Some accommodation options have limited numbers of different room types, so not everyone may have the same room style.Your accommodation on Tanna and Pele is in traditional bamboo bungalows. These have standard beds with mosquito nets and bathroom facilities, however these facilities may be limited to bucket showers (with cold water only) and toilets. Your meals on these islands will be home-cooked with love by the village mamas using fresh, organic produce from the gardens and the sea.The Fiji leg of your adventure is an active trip with several days of point to point hiking. You only carry a day pack, with your main bags (and for any non-hikers) being transferred by vehicle between villages. There are two nights of multi-share stays in the local villages we visit.Some of the best scenery in Fiji is found on hikes. So, while this trip doesn't require a high level of fitness, it’s essential to be at least moderately fit and be able to hike regularly if you want to partake in all activities. All travellers will need to be competent swimmers to take part in the rafting section of this trip.As we focus on visiting less explored parts of Fiji, there is limited beach time on our itinerary. If you are interested in classic Fiji we recommend spending a few extra days before or after your tour enjoying the beaches and snorkelling in the Mamanuca or Yasawa Islands, a boat ride from Nadi.
