Hikes you can do independently

We would love for you to join us on one of our scheduled hikes, which are set up for independent-minded travellers, but we know that we only offer a limited schedule with a limited number of places. While some of the land we cross and villages we visit are extremely difficult to visit independently, other places can be more easily accessed with a bit of advance planning. We try to keep the information on these DIY pages up to date, but numbers and access arrangements can change.

Why walk with us?

Fiji is a great place to go hiking and we are Fiji’s only dedicated hiking company

We work in partnership with remote communities to take you off the beaten track, to experience Fiji’s interior – its dramatic peaks, pristine forests, sparkling rivers, remote villages and unique history – and by going on foot you have the opportunity to experience the vibrant traditional culture that runs deep within Fijian society.

Our style

We aim to provide an experience for you that doesn’t feel touristy, but where you are treated as a guest with an opportunity to get to know Fiji a little bit better by hiking through a tucked away corner of the interior and talking to both your guides and people in the communities who host you. Find out more about us, our team and how we operate.

What we provide

Our pricing includes transport from start to end – using our 4WDs when we leave the tar seal – simple accommodation, most meals, a dedicated trip leader, community guides, all cultural protocols, and contributions to village development funds, as well as taxes.

Your guides

In addition to your trip leader, we support and train people from our partner communities to guide you. The land you’re crossing is their land, their vanua, to which people in Fiji have an inalienable connection. We believe it’s only right for them to show you where they live, farm, hunt and fish. Your guides are first aid trained, and while English doesn’t always come easily to some of them, they are knowledgeable about the plants, animals, and land around you.

A word on tracks

Our routes often follow old paths between villages, pig-hunting tracks, or farm paths. These can be rough and muddy. The villages work to keep these tracks clear for you, but please don’t expect constructed walking tracks! A good level of fitness and a spirit of adventure are musts!

Transport

We arrange all transport either directly in one of our 4WDs, with our transport partner, Pehicle, or with reputable local taxis. Be prepared for a bumpy ride as we can soon leave tar-sealed roads behind! Our vehicles carry our supplies and all your luggage, so you only need to walk with your daypack.

Accommodation

On our treks your accommodation is provided in the villages. It can be basic, but it is always welcoming. There are flush toilets at all stopovers, and cold-water showers.

Packing List

Unsure what you’ll need? Check out our packing list. We’ll also provide you with more information about what to expect and bring before your trip. And, no need to worry about heavy loads. You only walk with your day-pack. Everything else will be waiting for you when you reach each day’s destination.

What people say

This was by far one of the best things I have done so far in Fiji. The beauty of the interior is without words, and the time and thought spent in finding ethical and meaningful ways for people to share in that experience is wonderful. Truly great.

Tim Lafond, Australia

Loved my hiking with Talanoa Treks. Fantastic scenery, local guides with stories from the past and great company from fellow visiting hikers. Hiking through the highlands and stopping to eat and sleep at local villages was a great experience. I also learned a bit more about Fiji culture and was able to show my respect when visiting villages during the remainder of my stay in Fiji. To top it off, Talanoa Treks is also focused on sustainable development of the communities they work with to provide this unique experience. It was a good fit with my values so I’m happy to recommend them to others.

Martin Pritchard, Melbourne Australia
