Navala Village
If getting to know the Fijian culture is at the top of your Fiji travel itinerary, then consider booking a trip to the Navala Village. The Navala Village is a fantastic place to learn about Fiji culture, how Fijians live, and even a great way to interact with some locals.
This village is truly authentic, from its people to the thatched houses they live in. The village is also one of the most photogenic in the entire nation, making it a great place to capture some great images while on vacation in Fiji. When visiting this village with a guide, you will experience authentic tribal rituals, and will likely taste the famous ceremonial kava beverage. Kava is a beverage derived from a root, and many say it has similar numbing qualities to alcohol.
There are several ways you can visit this village. You can visit it as a stand-alone visit or as part of a longer itinerary. Combine it with a boat tour, hike, or snorkel adventure if you want to make the most of your day. This is a popular trip, so planning it in advance, on a dry day, will yield the best results.
