Guided Kayaking Tours in Fiji

Imagine gliding over turquoise lagoons, colourful coral seen through crystal clear waters and hopping from island to island. Well, that’s what a kayaking tour in Fiji is all about. There are both day tours and multi-day kayaking holidays available in the islands of Fiji, allowing you to do as much or as little paddling as you want. Otherwise, almost all beach resorts will have kayak gear available to freedom hire.

So check out how you can make the most out of kayaking in Fiji with this list of the best kayak tours in Fiji.

1. Koro Sun Kayak Tour

Although you can freedom kayak along the continuous reef structure paralleling the Koro Sun Resort in Vanua Levu, the resort also offers guided kayaking tours called the “Salt Lake Kayaking Adventure”. After a 15-minute drive from the resort, you’ll reach the launch point with the provided kayak to paddle upriver along with the tide to reach Salt Lake. Your guides will share the Fijian legends of Vanua Levu’s largest salt lake before you make your way back along the river when the tide turns.
