This was a top notch experience! Rosie was a wonderful long boat guide . The river boat ride was beautiful, the village visit was wonderful. Lunch was absolutely excellent. The waterfall stop and getting to dive into the cool waters underneath the waterfall was wonderful. And the river tubing down the river was such fun. Would recommend this to any family or pretty able-bodied person to go on. There were some segments that would be very difficult for someone with mobility issues, but it was a tremendous day.

A very enjoyable experience that I'd recommend to any participant. I especially appreciated the help that all the team members provided to my wife, who has some mobility issues, when getting in and out of the boat as well as when walking on uneven ground.

We did this as a cruise excursion. Prepare to get wet, but in the most fun way possible.....and the surprise in the middle of the trip down was THE best!! Wonderful guides.
Monica_M, Apr 2026
This is a lovely water adventure. Lock your phone in a locker or get a wet bag. Everything will get wet. Tubing the rapids is fun.
The guides are locals who help you so much. Hi Johnny!

A fantastic day, even with the rain, the excursion was so enjoyable and everyone was so helpful. The singing topped off the adventure. We really enjoyed the day.

Having been cruising for approximately 15 years this experience is one of our all time favourite shore excursions!!! The booking experience and communication was spot on with a smooth meeting and collection point. Once we were on our way even the transport to the river was entertaining and educational with our guide Peter and driver Baly.
Our day was a complete highlight reel from the excitement of longboat rides and river tubing to village tours, waterfalls and natural beauty, time for lunch, swimming and even a spine tingling singing performance. We were treated some authentic Fijian hospitality and culture.
We were then returned back to the port with Peter happy to make any required stops before making it back to the ship. You will not find a better value for money tour so an experience not to miss! Thank you so much Peter and team for such a memorable day. Bula

A fabulous experience, everybody involved in the organisation, were so helpful and the whole day great fun! The long boat was about an hour, so lots of the rain forest and local small communities. The village was interesting and informative. Water fall fabulous and the river tubing was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much
Ronald_F, Mar 2026
This was one of the most fabulous experiences I ever had. Ben was a terrific guide. I had some reservations about climbing the falls and he held my hand all the way up and down. The tubing was so exciting and and when the guides circled the group and sang , tears came to my eyes. Go on this tour you will not be disappointed ❤️
Robin_L, Mar 2026
You should have some money (US, Fiji, Australia) to hire a dry bag and some swimming shoes.
Lunch was good and plenty to eat. Bring lots of water to drink.
Susan_K, Mar 2026

The Fiji people are amazing. We had an awesome day. All the guides were so helpful. Ralph was our guide for the longboat and tubing…so much fun…even when it was raining. The lunch was delicious. Would highly recommend!
Dawn_M, Mar 2026
Awesome experience. Women need to bring leg covers for village visit. The waterfall and the float were soooo much fun! Thanks to Ben and Tom and the rest of the team who all did an amazing job of ensuring a great adventure.
William_W, Mar 2026
Well organized, agood mix of culture and activities. Highly recommended.
Tubing through the rapids was great.
Dave_S, Mar 2026
Had the best time ! What a great day out, the trip up the river on the long boat was excellent and this was followed by a lovely visit to a Fijian village, the locals were very friendly and we were allowed to take pictures. We then had a fantastic swim adjacent to a beautiful waterfall followed by a locally prepared lunch. We then got in our tubes for a float down river, the guides with us were excellent and we never felt in any danger (we even came to a halt whilst in the river and all the Fijian guides sang us all a song, it was quite magical) Don’t even think of booking the trip JUST DO IT, you won’t regret it.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be in a jungle type adventure movie, this is for you. First we went upstream for a while in a long canoe like boat seeing beautiful scenery with waterfalls. We take a first hand tour of a village where the people are so welcoming. Then we ride back downstream and stop where we walk a rock path to a gorgeous waterfall and pond where the water is clear and refreshing to swim. The guides and some passengers climbed up some rocks and did some diving/jumping in. Then we stopped at a beach area for lunch. Then back to the boats where we began river tubing. We were able to “link” each person together with a guide, which I recommend as the rapids might send you where you don’t want to go. After going over the two smaller rapids we have a long gap and the guides get all of us together drifting down the river (there were 74 of us), and the sing songs. They sound fabulous too!! Then over the last rapids which was so fun!! I would hold your nose because you will get splashed in the face. Then back to the boats where we go home. Although they tell you to not bring your phone, I would try to because the pictures are worth it!! I would highly recommend this adventure. Oh and one of the waterfalls was used in the film Anaconda 2.

Miscomunication betwen company and driver left my travelers stranded and not picked up for activity. Company did appologize, but for a once in a lifetime trip, this was very disapointing.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, the issue occurred because the driver overlooked the booking and did not complete the scheduled pickup.
While our office had the reservation confirmed, the mistake happened at the driver level, and we have since addressed this directly with the driver to ensure it does not happen again.
We completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially during a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Fiji, and we are very sorry for the frustration this caused.
Thank you for bringing it to our attention, and we appreciate your understanding.

This was an amazing tour that included a long boat ride down a beautiful lush river, visit in a real local village, stop at an amazing waterfall and swim hole, a tasty lunch and finally a fun tubing experience in the river over mild rapids. Peter was a fantastic knowledgeable and respectful guide. The guides made every part of the tour safe, especially while tubing. A very special highlight was when the guides sang beautiful songs in their local language. I would highly recommend this tour.
Sandra_S, Feb 2026
This was such a fun experience. We got absolutely soaked as there was a heavy rain shower on the boat up the river but that was all part of the fun! We visited a local village which was amazing to see. We got to swim at the waterfall where some of the guides dived in from very high up the rocks. Then a very nice riverside lunch followed by the highlight of river tubing. This was so much fun especially going through the rapids & when the guides started singing on the way down. There were plenty of guides making sure everyone was safe. We rented a dry bag for $5 to keep our stuff dry & the photo package for $10 was well worth it. Be prepared to be wet all day & you'll have a great time!

Excellent tour! Friendly guides, fun boat ride and tubing downriver even through some exciting rapids! Yummy lunch along the river. The hike to the waterfall and around a rapids area was a bit challenging but manageable. Only negative was a longish wait to get going from tge pier and a crowded bus!
David_F, Feb 2026
Absolute blast. Everything was perfect. Had great fun tubing down the rapids. So much food at lunch. Highly recommend this tour.
Deborah_T, Feb 2026
What a wonderful day. The guides were so caring to make sure everyone was ok and having a fun time. We took long boats up the river about 45 minutes -a hour. So scenic. The village visit was informative and then off to a jump into the waterfall! Cool water! So pretty. Took the long boats down river a ways where a delicious lunch awaited us. Everything was delicious. Next up tubing down river. Our long boat group made a train as we weaved down steam headed by our guide. The rapid were so so fun. All of the guides gathered and sang gospel songs to us which were beautiful. After disembarking from our tubes it was a short long boat ride to the base camp. Fun fun day. Highly recommend it even if you have never tubed. The guides will be sure to help you. Fabulous day

What an absolutely fabulous adventure in Suva, Fiji! Everything was top notch and heart warming. No one can control the weather but no worries when you are swimming in waterfalls and floating down the river!! The homemade lunch and serenade showed the true heart and soul of this island nation! Loved every minute of this adventure!
Scott_D, Jan 2026
Great day on the river ...amazing village visit, scenery and good local food lunch included.
The guides also included a serenade as we floated back diwn the river. Dont miss this tour.
David_F, Jan 2026
Pickup at the cruise port was fine, although delayed because of a no show. This is a family enterprise, and it shows. They had about 90 guests on our day, and it was still a comfortable number. There were many guides and at no point was there any feeling of safety risk. The village tour was heartwarming, the waterfall swim was spectacular and the tubing was fun. Lunch was plentiful and delicious. A big shout out to Rosie, Leon, and Dougie for their personal guide service.
Suellen_H, Jan 2026
Best shore excursion yet!! Village visit, waterfall hike & swim, boat ride upriver, tubing down river, guides singing.
Susan_B, Jan 2026

I would give this experience 5 stars except that my friend paid to have photos of us taken by the operator sent by email to him. The photos never came even after much effort by my friend to get them. It was very dissapointing. Thus, great tour but do not buy the photos. Take your own.
Response from Host, Jan 2026

This was a wonderful tour! We enjoyed every aspect of it including the boat ride, village visit, waterfall swim, lunch, and river tubing :) i went with my grandma and even though she's terrified of water she really enjoyed this experience! The staff was really caring and attentive to her needs and were there every step of the way. We learned a lot about Fijian culture and traditions and valued the chance to interact with local people. Definitely recommend! One of the best parts of our trip
Response from Host, Jan 2026

Our team takes great pride in caring for guests every step of the way, and they’ll be very touched by your kind words. We’re also glad you enjoyed learning about Fijian culture and connecting with the village that’s a very special part of what we do. Thank you for the recommendation, and we’re so happy this was one of the highlights of your trip to Fiji.

It was a wonderful day from boating down the river, swimming in the pool below a waterfall, walking through a small village and then river tubing. The lunch was good and healthy. I would highly recommend this trip.

We had a marvelous time. The staff were wonderful with a shout out to Patrick for taking care of us so well as our guide but the entire crew were warm and welcoming and they were very safety conscious. Lunch was very nice and they sang songs for us. The rapids were very fun as well. I would highly recommend this experience.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Vinaka vakalevu for your lovely review and recommendation.
We’re delighted to hear you had such a marvellous time and felt well looked after throughout the experience. Patrick will be especially pleased to hear your kind words, and we’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to the entire crew. Safety, hospitality, and genuine connection are very important to us, so it’s wonderful to know that came through.
We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch, the singing, and of course the rapids they’re always a highlight.
Thank you again for choosing River Tubing Fiji. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back in the future.
