This quiet leafy nook, sandwiched between a gorgeous stretch of coast and a championship golf course, packs a big adrenalin punch. With dramatic mountains, winding waterways and the spectacular Beqa Lagoon as it’s playground, the region is jam-packed with activities that will leave you salty-haired and rosy cheeked. Go waterfall hunting on 4WD jaunts into the jungle, zip through the canopy or battle rapids on the gorgeous Navua River. On the water there are jet ski safaris to Beqa Island, big-game fishing and some of the best diving and surfing spots in Fiji to fill your days.

When you’ve had your fun, switch to low gear with a round of golf on the championship course then head to the Arts Village to wander the small shops and wind down with a beer and some nibbles by the lily-pond. Perfect for active families and even better for loved-up adventurers, Pacific Harbour is THE place to go when you’re in the mood to let loose a little.

WHAT?

What are the Top “Things To Do” in the region?

1. Diving the Beqa Lagoon

Beqa Lagoon’s soft-coral reefs, intriguing wrecks and incredible fish diversity (over 300 species!) make it one of Fiji’s diving hotspots. But the other reason you’ll want to come here is for its unrivalled shark dives. Only experienced divers can join these 18m+ dives where eight species of shark mingle with hundreds of other fish. The dives are popular and don’t happen every day so plan ahead to book your spot.

2. White Water Rafting the Upper Navua Gorge

Riding the Class II-III rapids of the Upper Navua River as it slices through Viti Levu’s tropical interior is one of Fiji’s most epic tours. Expert guides deftly steer the rafts through the boulder-strewn whitewater while waterfalls and fern-filled rainforest drip down the towering canyon walls. To protect this primal place, Rivers Fiji, NGOs, local landowners and the Fijian government have joined forces to designate it as internationally important wetland. Tours only run 3 times a week (Mon, Wed, Fri) but if their Tripadvisor reviews are anything to go by, you won’t want to miss out!

3. Terratrek Waterfall Tour

Mud’s all part of the fun when you jump on a dune buggy ride into Pacific Harbour’s rugged hinterland. You’ll pass through some stunning rainforest while tearing through puddles on the muddy track to a hidden waterfall. Terratrek run tours twice a day – with the waterfall trip setting off in the mornings and the sedate scenic drives in the afternoons. Hitch a ride if you don’t have a full driver’s license – it’ll be the most fun you’ve had on wheels!

4. Tubing Navua River

Grab an inner tube and splash out on a wet and wild adventure down the Navua river. With the current at your back, there’s barely any paddling involved so you can sit back and enjoy the bumpy bits while you float past some spectacular waterfalls and virgin rainforest. Besides the tubing, there’s also a brief stopover at a riverside village, waterfall swim, scenic boat rides and a delicious picnic to look forward to.

5. Sportfishing in the Beqa Lagoon

Teeming with monstrous fish, the Beqa Lagoon is a dream spot for seasoned anglers looking to land some big game. Skilled crews come with the chartered boats out of Pacific Harbour to help you chase down nimble Wahoo, hook massive Blue Marlin or battle feisty Dogtooth Tuna. Heads up – Skippers usually give the catch to a local village or sell them to restaurants, but you could also snag a piece for your resort chef to make into a delicious dinner.

6. Fiji’s Fearless Firewalkers

The rocky island that dominates the horizon off Pacific Harbour in southern Viti Levu isn’t only famous for its diving and deep-sea fishing. It’s also the home of Fiji’s legendary firewalkers; a tiny band of islanders bestowed with a special gift that seemingly protects them from fire.
