Highland Village (Iona) Tour – All You Need to Know

Discover the authentic heart of Fiji with a visit to Highland Village (Iona), nestled within the scenic interior of Viti Levu. Surrounded by lush green mountains, flowing streams, and untouched rainforest, this cultural tour offers a rare opportunity to experience traditional Fijian life far from the usual tourist paths.

Your journey takes you into a welcoming highland village, where friendly locals share their customs, stories, and daily way of life. Experience true Fijian hospitality as you participate in traditional ceremonies, including a kava welcome, and learn about the values of respect, community, and connection that define village life.

Beyond cultural immersion, the Highlands offer breathtaking natural beauty. Enjoy scenic walks through rainforest trails, discover hidden waterfalls, and take in panoramic views across fertile valleys and rugged landscapes. It’s the perfect blend of culture and nature in one enriching experience.

No visit is complete without tasting authentic Fijian cuisine. Enjoy a traditional meal prepared with fresh local ingredients, often featuring kokoda (Fijian ceviche) or lovo-style cooking, where food is slow-cooked underground for rich, smoky flavors.

This tour is ideal for travelers seeking meaningful cultural encounters, scenic adventure, and a deeper understanding of Fiji beyond the beaches.

This was one of the most authentic and meaningful experiences of our Fiji trip.

This was one of the most authentic and meaningful experiences of our Fiji trip. Visiting Highland Village (Iona) gave us a true insight into traditional Fijian life beyond the resorts. The kava ceremony was welcoming and special, and the villagers were incredibly warm and generous in sharing their stories and customs. The surrounding mountain scenery was breathtaking, and the rainforest walk added a beautiful natural touch to the day. The traditional meal was delicious and felt genuinely homemade.
