10 Epic Adrenaline Activities in Fiji 💪 [2025]

1. Jet Ski in Paradise

If you have ever wanted to blast across fluorescent blue waters on a high-powered jet ski, then Fiji is the place to do it! There’s nothing like the rush you’ll feel when powering over the rolling waters, whether you’re jumping on the vehicle solo or tandem.

While many island resorts have jet skis for freedom hire, guided jet ski tours are also available – a super option for first-time jet skiers. You’ll get a full tutorial before hitting the water with your guide to check out the best-hidden gems around Fiji. Jet ski tours are available from Denarau, as well as the Coral Coast.

2. Skydive Over the Islands

Freefall at 200 kph (124 mph) while taking in the breathtaking views of Fiji’s archipelago islands, coral reefs and vibrant blue waters. Get strapped to a beautiful stranger and enjoy a scenic flight on the way up to your chosen altitude: 10,000 ft – 13,000 ft with Skydive Fiji.

The crew offers ways to vamp up your experience, with Skydive Fiji doing outer island landings (what a way to arrive at your island resort!) And with transfers from accommodation in Nadi and Denarau, it’s all too easy.

3. Scuba Dive with Sharks

Get up close and personal with some of the ocean’s most misunderstood creatures on Fiji’s renowned shark dives.

The “Awakening Shark Dive” at Barefoot Kuata Island Resort in the Yasawa Islands offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience for both certified and non-certified divers. Here, you’ll encounter bull sharks and occasionally tiger, lemon and nurse sharks in a safe, controlled environment. The dive’s innovative design, created with expert input, prioritises both shark and diver safety.

Another famous shark diving spot is the Shark Reef Marine Reserve at Pacific Harbour on Viti Levu. Shark feedings here attract an array of species, providing an adrenaline-pumping underwater spectacle. Both locations contribute to shark conservation efforts and promote awareness, helping to dispel myths about these magnificent creatures.

4. Jet Boat Thrill Rides and Excursions

Yes, Fiji has taken on jet boating as an exciting way to get visitors to the isolated villages of Viti Levu’s rugged interior while giving tourists a spin-tastic thrill ride.

Jet boats use a jet propulsion system where water is pulled up into the system and blasted out at high speeds. What does it mean? Not only will your boat go through the shallowest waters, but can manoeuvre swiftly on top of the water, even achieving 360-degree spins!

To really see what these bad boys can do, join a jet boat tour up the Sigatoka River on the Coral Coast with Sigatoka River Safari. Learn more about this epic adrenaline activity in The Best Jet Boat Tours in Fiji.

5. Zipline Through the Rainforest

Get harnessed onto an 80m-160m-long zipline and fly through the forest like one of the native birds! Ziplining is the adrenaline activity that is taking Fiji by storm, with four different ziplining courses throughout Fiji’s mainland, Viti Levu.

Whether you’re travelling with kids, or a kid at heart yourself, you’ll love the high-speed thrills of flying through the forest. It’s possible to reach speeds of 40km/h on these giant ziplines. Zip Fiji and Sleeping Giant Zipline have locations in Nadi, while Kula WILD Adventure Park is your go-to on the Coral Coast.

6. Parasail Over the Islands

More fun adventure activities for the whole family can be found in the parasailing activities dotted across the islands. Float above the islands or water on parasailing trips from the Mamanuca Islands or Port Denarau.

While calling this an “adrenaline” activity is, indeed, quite a stretch (it’s actually quite relaxing – you’ll see when you get up there), we love how parasailing is an easy way to get the kids involved!

7. Fly Over the Islands by Helicopter

Nothing feels more epic than flying in a helicopter, and there are plenty of reasons to do that in Fiji! Scenic flights can take you over the archipelago giving you an awesome perspective of the islands or into the rugged interior of Viti Levu where you’ll have close encounters with waterfalls and towering mountains.

But, since we’re talking about adrenaline activities in Fiji, you can definitely vamp up the experience by doing the “End Game” tour with Go Dirty Tours and Heli-Tours Fiji where you spend half your time speeding through the Nadi countryside on quad bikes, visit villages, then end your journey with a scenic helicopter flight.

8. Off-Road in Paradise

In Fiji, it’s not all just about the water. The heart of Viti Levu holds some sensational landscapes over rugged and wild terrain. Needless to say, the best way to explore the rough interior of Fiji’s mainland is on an off-roading tour.

There are plenty of opportunities to do a self-drive excursion with a guide leading the way, such as a 5-hour waterfall trip with Terra Trek Tours in the Pacific Harbour or visiting various Fijian villages on a Cultural Quad Bike Tour with Go Dirty Tours.

What’s more, they are the perfect activity to do if the weather is not great, because, let’s be honest, the mud is more fun! Alternatively, for those of you who don’t want to drive, explore the Naihehe Caves only accessible by an off-roading van with Off-Road Cave Safari on the Coral Coast.

10. Tube Down the Rapids

There’s nothing more silly and ridiculously fun than jumping in an inflatable tube and floating your way through the rapids of the Navua River. Join a tour with River Tubing Fiji, which offers pick-ups from Nadi, Coral Coast, Pacific Harbour and Suva, and visit the pristine waterfalls, authentic Fijian villages and lush rainforest lining the Navua River.

The trip starts with a longboat ride up the Navua River, then it’s up to you to float back down on your tube! (Don’t worry, your guides will be with you the whole time).
