We took the trip from outside the Shangri-La to Singatoka. Small group (a dozen, incl kids). Train trundles along slowly. Guide gives interesting commentary. Train pushes through thick vegetation, but very carefully and slowly. Kids come running alongside and following. Crew occasionally get out to dig sand out of the tracks and avoid derailing. We were followed by a man... More

The Coral Coast railway trip was a delight. A very pleasant and fun journey. Enjoyed the scenery and make sure you take lots of lollies for the kids along the way. A different experience for us and very enjoyable. Fun to have to stop and see the overgrown trees being chopped down with a machete so the train can "make... More

A really nice day out visiting the village, caves and natadola beach. The beach was the disappointment of the trip, as according to my wife and another couple who were there, the beach was hundreds of times better 20 and 15 years ago respectively. The intercontinental hotel has been built there recently, which looks very sterile and lets the beach... More

Only issue we had was having to shop in 2 stores of operators choice, very geared to tourists and pushy staff. We couldn't wander to shops of our choice. Kindergarten was beautiful. More

I have travelled on the Coral Coast Railway twice - once a few years back and the second time last year on our honeymoon. Both times have been simply fabulous. The first trip we went past Christopher Skases's derelict resort and then walked underground exploring some caves - our guide this time was Papa and although it was years ago... More

We did the Coral Coast railway trip in December 2011 to Natadola Beach. I was travelling with my husband, and 3 children (13yrs, 2yrs and 9 months). We really enjoyed this day out. Along the way, the train stopped at a local village and some caves. At the village, we were shown around and given a bit of information on... More

Give it a go, it's really worth it. A fabulous quaint experience. As usual, the staff show the wonderful hospitality of the Fijij Island community. Enjoy the scenery and take in the surroundings with ease. My partner and I decided to experience the attraction and found it a worthwhile venture, one that we count as one of the many wonderful...

We stayed in 2 resorts, one week each in Crusoe's Retreat and Tambua Sands. Unluckily the weather during the first week was atrocious, but we made up for it in week 2, and enjoyed ourselves, although accommodations were a mixed bag. More
