Jet Skis

If you are one of those adventurous types looking for something to play on for half an hour, or even to explore around the waters of Beqa Lagooon or the Qara Ni Qio River, hire a jet ski! There are two operations now running in Pacific Harbour. You will always find a jet ski or two parked outside Uprising Beach Resort ready for your enjoyment, on the jet ski or behind it on a wake board or skis!
There are tours that run around four hours with Jet Ski Safari; they take you out to cruise around Beqa Island and you can cruise along and see the breath taking sites of South coast of the Beqa Island, full of rocky outcrops and tropical jungle. Then you have the opportunity to have a swim and they will show you some of the most the sensational snorkelling spots.
After you have been amazed by the natural beauty of Beqa Lagoon, you will land on a small deserted island to have lunch. Then head back to Pacific Harbour! Click here for more information on Jet Ski Safari

Kite Surfing



Kitesurfing, also known as kite surfing, fly surfing, and kiteboarding, involves using a power kite to pull the rider through the water on a small surfboard, a wakeboard, or a kiteboard.
A kitesurfer uses a board with foot-straps or bindings, combined with the power of a large controllable kite to propel himself and the board across the water.
However, this simplicity also makes kitesurfing challenging.
A kitesurfer's body is the only connection between the kite and the board. The kite is piloted in the sky while the board is steered on the water.
The sport is still in its infancy, but is rapidly growing in popularity. Kite Surfing in Fiji is slowly on the rise, and in Pacific Harbour most weekends you will find a few adventurous souls taking on the elements.

The Uprising Beach Resort

Since opening its doors in February, 2007, The Uprising Beach Resort has become known as one of the coolest places to be in Fiji. The atmosphere is mind blowing. Sitting at the bar and restaurant, looking over at the crystal clear waters of Beqa Lagoon you find yourself at peace in your gorgeous surroundings. If you feel like a bit of adventure, hire one of the jet skis that are stationed on the beach, or jump on the banana boat and enjoy a wild ride. The crew at the Uprising have discovered a new sport to have fun on the beach, "horse boarding"! Find your balance and jump on the wake board that is attached to the horses saddle and have fun!! You can also go skiing or wake boarding behind the jet skis!

The barbeques on offer at the weekends are a blend of traditional Fijian foods with the traditional Aussie BBQ foods, and at a great price, you will not go hungry! The restaurant serves up some tasty seafood delights, and the other tasty treats on the menu will leave you feeling satisfied. Ask the friendly bar tenders to mix you up some delicious fruity blends, with or without alcohol, or just enjoy that Fiji Bitter or local Fiji Rum while you enjoy the incredible ambience. The coffee served here is without doubt some of the best coffees available in Fiji.
The Uprising is run entirely by locals. The owner of this resort, and all the staff, pride themselves on being able to give you what you want with that world wide known Fijian hospitality, and always with a smile.
The guests at the Uprising are a blend of locals who cannot drag themselves away and new and interesting over seas guests flying in and out daily. Spending a day here is a holiday all in itself.
