Your adventure starts with a 35-minute drive through the picturesque Sigatoka valley in the Coral Coast region. Along the ride, you will hear the fascinating history from your guide about the notorious Tongan warriors who reigned supreme in this area and glimpse the ancient hill fortresses.
On the banks of the river, you will participate in customary Fijian welcome ceremony. Once the traditional ceremony is complete, you can tuck into your picnic lunch before a bamboo raft ferries you across the river for the short walk to the caves.
The cave has an easy access with plenty of fresh air and no bats. Enter into the lantern lit chambers to the legendary “Pregnancy Gap”. This opens up to the wondrous Grand Cathedral Chamber with its ritual platform, priest chambers and cannibal oven.
