Wow!!! What a day in the Suva highlands with River Tubing Company. Pouring with rain when we disembarked Edge. Apparently rains every day in Suva. Getting out of town was very slow due to many Good Friday drivers out and about. Eventually we made it to the town of Navua where we met our River Tubing guides. Great guys!! Thankfully the rain had even stopped.
Then 30 minute FAST longboat ride upriver to the highlands. Either side of river were tall, lush growth of trees, vines and bamboo clumps. Stopped for fabulous riverside lunch prepared by local ladies with chicken drumsticks and village greens/salad.
Back into the longboats and further upriver to remote village of Sabata with only 50 related inhabitants. They do have solar power, internet and flushing toilets. No kava ceremony or souvenirs, just seeing normal village life. Very family oriented and supportive of one another.
Downriver now to a fabulous waterfall. Spectacular!!! Our boat guide Nick was very helpful with my weak ankle, helping me in and out of longboat and up and down stairs. Couldn’t have managed without his assistance.
Finally we landed, ready for tubing. Downriver for 6 kms, 45 minute ride. What a hoot!!!! We crossed through 3 rapids which were exhilarating. The 4 of us linked with Nick for safety. Unfortunately Jina and Joy did end up in the river in one of the rapids. Nick rescued them. By now the rain was pouring again but we survived.
The guides even sang a gospel song for us in their wonderful melodic voices as the rain poured down. Their singing was fantastic. Finally we made it back to River Tubing base office and climbed aboard our buses. Back to Edge at 7pm, ready for hot shower and dinner. Tonight was the enjoyable Cosmopolitan restaurant. All in all, a fantastic day in Suva. Well done River Tubing Company. Thoroughly recommend!!! 😎😎😎
