Excursion Nawaka village & fire-walking (for in-transit guests only) tour at Lautoka

Embrace the famous Fijian hospitality and traditional way of life during this interactive, half-day sightseeing excursion.

Depart the pier for approximately 45-minute drive to Nawaka Village. Upon arrival, the village warriors meet you at the entrance to the village, local women sing a vanua chant reserved strictly for special guests, and the children garland you with traditional flower leis.

Participate in a kava ceremony, then take a guided tour, enjoy the honour of meeting the Chief and delve into the mysterious world of fire-walking, a captivating ritual to observe. There is no valid explanation why the legendary fire-walkers of Bega have the unique skill to walk on the white-hot stones without injury.
