Fiji Adrenaline: 5 Heart-Pounding Adventures You Can’t Miss
When people think of Fiji, they imagine peaceful beaches, tropical drinks, and days of nothing under a swaying palm tree. However, deep in the heart of Fiji is a raging wilderness and adventure waiting to pump your adrenaline.
From skydiving over turquoise islands to white-water rafting through jungle gorges, Fiji is an adrenaline junkie’s playground.
1. Skydiving Over the Islands
What could be more exciting than jumping out of an airplane at 14,000 feet? How about jumping out over the postcard-perfect Fiji islands?
During the 60-second freefall, you’ll see a surreal patchwork of coral reef, white-sand beaches, and deep blue water spread out below you. Tandem skydives are available from Nadi and Denarau, where all the certified instructors will guide you the entire way.
Why it’s epic: The views are incredible, and the adrenaline rush is next level.
2. White-Water Rafting in the Upper Navua River
If you thought Fiji was all beautiful lagoons, think again. Deep within Viti Levu’s interior, the Upper Navua River runs through a UNESCO World Heritage-designated conservation area where raging rainforests, cliffs, and waterfalls combine to form one of the most thrilling rafting experiences in the South Pacific.
You’re paddling on grade 3 rapids, sliding under waterfalls, and passing through traditional villages.
Insider tip: You don’t need any rafting experience, just some courage and a willingness to be soaked.
3. Ziplining Through the Jungle Canopy
Do you want to fly through Fiji’s jungle like Tarzan? Look no further than Zip Fiji which is among the first and definitely the most exhilarating zip line experience in the country. Located near Pacific Harbour and outside of Nadi, you fly on one of their respective zip-line courses for many kilometers through the canopy, with platforms securely designed in the tops of the trees.
Some of the ziplines are up to 160 meters, which provide panoramic views of waterfalls, jungle, and volcanic terrain.
Why it’s worth it: the speed, height, and jungle views make for a total sensory experience, in the best possible way!

4. Shark Diving in Beqa Lagoon
In Beqa Lagoon, not far off the southern coast of Viti Levu, divers can take part in a guided, controlled shark dive experience that is one of the most thrilling in the world. With a permitted dive operator, you will dive into the lagoon’s clear waters and observe up to eight different species of sharks: reef sharks, nurse sharks, and the massive bull sharks, without a cage.
It’s not for the weak of heart, but you should be completely safe with a permitted dive company.
Pro Tip: You will need a diving certification to dive into shark waters; however, many of the companies offer training and certification courses as packages.
5. Surfing Cloudbreak — One of the World’s Toughest Waves
Located near Tavarua Island, Cloudbreak is renowned around the world and is stunningly gorgeous as well as punishingly savage. It hosts some of the strongest left-hand barrels in the world and is a magnet for professional surfers.
Cloudbreak is a real test for those looking for a challenge, with waves easily surpassing 20 feet in height.
And if you’re not quite at that level yet, there are beginner surf lessons offered at less challenging surf breaks not too far away.
Did you know that surf season in Fiji is from April to October because of the swells?
