Adventure awaits locals who want something different. Zip Fiji’s tour of the ancient Oho Caves at Tau Village in Momi, and swinging on zip lines through a canyon and dense forest is where it happens.

Owners of the tourist attraction are now making it affordable for locals to venture to the caves and try the three kilometres zip line set up. Managing director Daniel Metcalf said the company never closed its doors, even after the borders closed around the world.

“We have always been open even though we have had not many locals coming through,” Mr Metcalf said.

Zip Fiji is located at Tau, and can be located by turning into Momi from the Queens Highway, and about three kilometres past the turn off to Marriott Momi Bay Resort.

Oho Caves

The Oho Caves are believed to date back over 3500 years ago, and was where the itaukei of Tau village settled at the time.

It was used, during tribal wars, as a fortress and shelter from storms. The caves are home to local bats.

Zip Lines

There are six zip lines beginning not far from the company’s reception bure at the bottom of the mountainou­s terrain, that take visitors to the caves near the top. The journey includes a mixture of zip and walk.

From the caves down through the canyon and dense forests, there are 10 zip lines with the whole adventure lasting between one and a half hours to two hours.

The previous price per person has been slahed to $75, from $245.

The business is open seven days. Zip Fiji can be contacted on 9300545.
