On day 2 of the itinerary there is the option to take a Safari on the Sigatoka River.
Fiji's original jet-boat safari, Sigatoka River Safari offers all our guests a half-day, uniquely Fijian adventure into the "Heart & Soul of Fiji" aboard the custom-built safari jet boats.
Cruise your way up the majestic Sigatoka River to visit authentic Fijian villages and experience a day in the life of the real ‘kaiviti’ (Fijian). Your jet boat driver and guide will bring the journey to life, introducing you to the rich culture of the people of Fiji and sharing the history, customs and legends of the area with you.
The emphasis on the world famous Sigatoka River Safari is to enable all our guests to interact and engage with the Fijian people as they truly are. You will know that what you are seeing is the "real deal" as you travel deep in the Fijian interior to allow you to get a glimpse of life as it used to be.

About the bikes
Designed and built by green inventor extraordinaire Howie de Vries. The modern, comfortable, electric-assisted vehicles are essentially modified, rail-mounted pushbikes.They’re suitable for absolutely anyone to enjoy at their own pace as the bikes are battery powered and tracks – you will look like you’re doing the peddling, when you’re not!
There’s some amazing history – Fiji’s sugarcane industry blazed this trail – but nature again dominates this slice of coastal magic. The sea and the land here are close to the hearts of the Fijian crew. They have a genuine love of sharing the stories and sharing in your fun every day at Ecotrax.
Returning back along the rails you'll know you have done something totally unique and can claim to have seen a part of Fiji rarely accessed.
What to Pack
Wearing comfortable clothing for sitting on a bicycle seat. Preferably not short skirts as they tend to fly up, also we travel through two villages so nothing too skimpy while riding as this can be seen as offensive.
We suggest bringing swimwear, reef shoes if you have them, snorkel gear if you have it, sunblock, insect repellent (only needed on occasion but best to have it in case), camera and a sense of adventure!
