The historic and remarkable Naililili Catholic Church was built by French Marist priest Father Patrice E. Rougier in the early 1900s. One of its remarkable features is the 25 beautiful stained glass windows with Fijian inscriptions. We will travel to Nasali landing at the Rewa Delta, board longboats, and travel downriver, passing grassy plains and villages before arriving at the cathedral. Have a look around the cathedral with a guided tour, take pictures, bring a lunch to eat out front on the grassy field, head back on the boats, and back to Suva.
