This magnificent park has something for everyone: a chance to explore waterfalls and forests, swim in a mountain stream, picnic, hike or take a rigorous mountain bike trip.

A group of 6 of us stayed overnight in Abaca village. They day we arrived, we hiked to the waterfall where we got to have a refreshing swim - it felt so good, the waterfall was so powerful (you should see the wind blowing from it!), and the hike itself wasn't bad. I was glad we had a guide though - Simmi was able to lead the way, show us where not to walk (bc it was pretty slippery in some places), and he even showed us a rock to jump off of in a different area! That when we returned, the villagers were playing volleyball, which they invited us to play, then had a delicious dinner. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing. The next morning we hiked to the top of Mt. Koroyanitu . Bring water/hat and put on sunscreen because the first half is in the sun! Again, Simmi was our guide. He took us to one side that had a great view overlooking Lautoka, then walked past where the cabin is on the mountain for a view looking over Nadi (you want to do this in the morning though because clouds come in and block your view in the afternoon). We made multiple stops and enjoyed ourselves at the top for quite some time, so I'd say that it probably took us around 4 hours total. I was confused on how to organize all this (and luckily some Trip Adviser reviews helped), so here's what I found since we didn't want to do it through a travel company (we wanted to be sure our money went to the village). Lodging: I called Kalesi (7365419) who lives in the village to let her know that there was going to be 6 of us coming and we would like to stay in the village. You can also stay at the lodge or on the mountain. You could also call Pau (7193194) who lives there as well. She asked if we needed a truck to pick us up from Lautoka, but I declined. By staying in the village, it included our meals: dinner, breakfast, and lunch (which the lodge and mountain top stay wouldn't include). The lodge's housing has bunk beds and it sleeps 12. The overnight stay on the mountain is basically 1 room with some beds. It has everything you need to cook, you just have to bring your own food up there. When you stay in the village, you stay with a family and they had rooms set aside in their huts for visitors to stay in. Getting there: We took a taxi from Nadi to Lautoka and ate lunch there. Here's 2 numbers that will take you to & from Abaca: 9058505 / 9897346. These are 2 different guys (but they know each other). We called 1, he said $100 FJD, called the other to price compare, he said $80, called the other back, he gave us $70 (these are all round trip prices). Turned out the other guy came (the other guy called him), tried to make us pay the higher amount, but we got him to stick to the $70. [If you need more options, I found 2 other numbers on Trip Advisor - 9911197 (we didn't try this one) and 8676532 (out of service, so don't try it lol).] We rode in the back of a covered pickup truck - not the most comfortable thing, but it did the trick! He was even on time for the return trip. I recommend having the guide for the hikes, it just makes it easier and you have someone to ask questions to. He showed us things we definitely would've missed otherwise. The total cost of our stay (food, lodging, guide, park fee) was $175 FJD per person. Kalesi didn't have a written breakdown of the price, but a guide for the mountain is $30 FJD, to the waterfall is $20 FJD, and the park fee was $15 FJD to give you an idea. We brought our own water into the village. I don't know what water the villagers drink. One girl didn't bring enough and she ended up drinking from a stream towards the top of the mountain (she didn't get sick so it must be ok!). Definitely do this. It helps support a village and heritage park and allows you to get to know some locals. The views are beautiful!

The Tavewa Seabus is an alternative way to get to the Beautiful Yasawa Group of Islands. Tavewa Seabus is operated by Coralview Island Resort servicing the Northern Yasawa Group of Islands, departing the Lautoka on a daily basis departing at 8.00am.

Cheaper alternative to go to the islands. Beware prices on the mobile version are not correct, make sure you go on the website or double check price by email. Prices are between 134 to 144 from Lautoka to any island. They deserve almost all resorts and they are on time ( with us they left at 8:00 am from Lautoka) Transfer from your hotel to the boat in main island is complimentary. Good alternative although is a rough trip, if you are looking for comfort and do not mind spending more money I would recommend to go with the other ferries ( south sea cruise, awesome adventures)
9. Tomb of Udre Udre
Overall Ratings
3.0 based on 39 reviews
Fiji's most notorious cannibal and tribal chief is buried here, and the 872 stones surrounding his tomb represent each of his unlucky victims.
Reviewed By RushPathak
Tucked away on the side of the road near the Rakiraki turn-off is the tomb of the world's most prolific cannibal, Ratu Udre Udre. Said to have eaten 999 humans, the tomb is a part of Fiji's history that is interesting and exciting to know. Grass is a little overgrown nearby so slow down near the turnoff and keep an eye out. If you're heading towards Nadi from Rakiraki, it's on the left-hand side around 100m from the Rakiraki fork in-the-road. Worth checking out for sure.
