Heli-Ziplining Adventure in Fiji — Helicopter Transfer to Sleeping Giant Zipline Near Nadi
A helicopter whisks you from Denarau into the verdant Sabeto valley, where five zip lines, two waterfalls and a jungle safari make up the Sleeping Giant Eco-Park. This 3-hour heli-ziplining combo pairs scenic flight time with unlimited zips, guided waterfall walks and a deli lunch—an efficient, high-adrenaline way to experience Fiji’s interior.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Platforms and jungle trails are uneven—trail runners or hiking shoes give you grip for platforms and waterfall approaches.
Hydrate and snack
Bring a small water bottle for the short hikes; lunch and soft drinks are provided but you’ll want water between zips.
Book morning slots
Morning flights usually mean clearer views and lighter winds—afternoons can bring squalls that delay heli transfers.
Declare medical conditions
The operator requires weight and health information; disclose back, heart, or pregnancy issues when booking.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Guided plunge at the lower waterfall—less visited and great for cooling off after zips
- •Short jungle safari off the main trail where native orchids and old-growth trees are visible
Wildlife
- •Green Fiji ground-dove (small forest bird)
- •Long-tailed fruit bats at dusk
Conservation Note
The park operates as an eco-friendly site with reforestation and trail-maintenance programs; visitors are asked to take litter out and avoid disturbing native plants and fauna.
The Sabeto area has long been used by local communities for taro and kava cultivation; eco-adventure operators now partner with landowners to provide income while protecting forest areas.
Photographer's Notes
- • Heli approach over the Sabeto estuary for landscape shots
