About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- marciasA2431HA0 contributionsVery disappointed in this tour.I found this specific tour as we DID NOT want the mud baths, and this was supposed to be shorter and NOT include the mud baths. Not knowing the distance between downtown and the mud baths, I received a message saying that the others on our tour wanted the mud baths and we could add the price, but we ended up waiting in the van for them, then ended up in 5:00 traffic and missed an event at our hotel, as it took us over an hour to get back to our hotel, which made our tour over 5 hours, most of which was in a van.Written December 7, 2024
- deniselA2293VS0 contributionsA FIji way of lifeOur time with Avi our tour guide was informative, attention to respect of the Fiji cultural & history. We are alot more aware of the beauty that Fiji has. Drove in comfort & given water to keep hydrated. Love that we had a local giving us the Fiji way of life. Kep it going this way for future tourist. CHEERSWritten November 26, 2024
- Sunshine8286340 contributionsGreat Fiji escapeWe are currently staying at this resort. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from on site and bars galore. Entertainment every night, Nannie’s to look after your kids, buses and golf carts to take you where you want to go on site you can call when you need them. Rooms are clean and ours had recently been updated. Staff are friendly beyond words. Love the placeWritten November 2, 2024
- paulaxadams0 contributionsFun to do but what a shame it’s so terribly run down!The changing rooms were pretty awful. Don’t expect ANY luxury at this place. Very run down but still fun. The experience of slopping on mud was wonderful but the pool to do a first sluice off was not inviting. The water was pretty hot but even hotter in the final seperate sluice off pool. If you’re a person who is fussy about getting into what looks like an extremely muddy dam, don’t do this!Written October 31, 2024
- J7941FHpatriciaw0 contributionsGive It a Try, You'll be Glad You Did!What an amazing experience & I hate heights! Our guides Nate & BA, PHENOMENAL; they carried all our drinks & did all our amazing videos & photos while we zipped! The history of the cave was an interesting stop before our decent back down & we can't forget the ladies & the DELICIOUS lunch and the Villagers for their crafts.Written October 28, 2024
- 767karleenp0 contributionsSpiritual dayWe enjoyed visiting the temple as well as strolling through the gardens at sleeping giant gardens. The farmer’s market was nice but felt awkward because there wasn’t much other than raw produce to buy.Written September 2, 2024
- C2593IYzoes0 contributionsNot really a tourI wouldn't really call this a tour. You have no tour guide as such. We were collected by our taxi driver who seemed confused about where we were going/what we were doing. We went off the itinerary that was listed on the booking and got to see all those sites. However, if you have your own car this truly isn't worth it. You're better off driving yourself around to see these sites as, again, there is no tour guide.Written July 9, 2024
- andrewbD5484JE0 contributionsAMAZING Zip lining experienceSuch an amazing experience! The zip lining was so much fun, and the cave was beautiful. The crew were so energetic and made it so memorable for our family. Both our kids (8 and 11) loved it. Thanks again!Written June 21, 2024
- annabellet8130 contributionsGreat tour!We were lucky enough to have a private tour and our guide was fantastic! We enjoyed all the stops and information shared with us throughout the day.Written April 17, 2024
- Trail522549639840 contributionsWelcome to NadiAlways great to get an understanding of the places you are visiting - Ron and this tour really did this.had an extra highlight - the mud pools, quite unexpected.Written April 16, 2024
- C6237FMrebeccao0 contributionsGreat informative tourWe went on this tour today and got picked up from The Radisson. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were provided with water in the car. The temple tour was very interesting. We stopped at a souvenir shop and at a produce market that also sold a few souvenirs. Last we went to the gardens and were provided with a cold drink at the end. None of it felt rushed and we learnt so much. Thank youWritten February 26, 2024
- 509gaving0 contributionsA great experience packed full of beauty and funSo glad we booked this excursion. Better than we hoped. Our guide was brilliant, lots of interesting knowledge and good humour made for a great day out. The markets were interesting, the temple was beautiful and our guide informed us about the Hindu religion which was truly interesting. The sleeping giant mountain and the orchid gardens were so beautiful, we took too many photos. The walk through the gardens to the top of the hill was so humid we look liked we'd been swimming, but soooo worth it. The mudbaths and thermal pools were the perfect way to finish off. Glad we were taken to the ones run by locals. If you're wondering whether its worth it, I can assure you that you willl not be disappointed!. But, you may be a bit hungry at the end. Maybe take some cash and buy some local fruit at the market to keep you goingWritten February 4, 2024
- R9259EJjillc0 contributionsInsightful tour from a Nadi localAvi picked up from our hotel promptly on time (not Fiji time), and it turned out it was just us that day, so we had a private tour! He was super informative and gave us a lot of insight into Fijian culture and history. The temple was great, and the gardens were beautiful. Tip: Bring insect repellent for the Sleeping Giant Garden walk! All in all, it was a lovely morning, and we learned a lot. Thanks, Avi!Written December 28, 2023
- Goma20130 contributionsA lot to see in one dayFun day seeing the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, Hindu Temple, the Farmer’s Market and the Mud Pool. Our guide was kind, informative and flexible, allowing us extra time to get a massageWritten December 28, 2023

Our tour guide was a pleasant guy but the tour part consisted of comments like "Here is the Hindu temple. Would you like to go in?" The answer should be no. You are probably going to interrupt someone's prayer and there's really not much to see. Info on the sugar refinery was basic but interesting, unfortunately the guide didn't have enough info to answer questions. We never went into the market but we loved the very first village in Fiji. It was fascinating to hear how the village evolved and how the 850 people still live. Pay the extra for one of the villagers to show you around! Crafts sold are very reasonable. Vuda Marina is beautiful but don't make the mistake of going for a meal. Although we ordered 30 minutes before a bus tour showed up we got our food after. An hour and a half is too long to wait. Food wasn't terrible but not great either. Bring a picnic or just order drinks. Drinks came quickly.
