Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes improve footing on wet, uneven approach paths and platforms.

Bring a light rain shell

Fiji’s microclimate can produce sudden showers — pack a compressible waterproof to stay comfortable.

Secure loose items

Use a small zippered pocket or leave phones in provided lockers to avoid drops while zipping.

Hydrate before arrival

Tropical heat and quick activity make pre-trip hydration important; water is provided with lunch.

Sabeto Valley sits near traditional Fijian villages with generational ties to the land; local guides often share stories about mountain guardians and plant uses.
