About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- philipeng0 contributionsNice half-day tour in NadiFiji is mostly about the outdoors, but this tour gave us some of the history and culture of Fiji. Mohammed was a very good driver and guide. He was knowledgeable about the Hindu Temple and it's customs. The market and a brief history of farming in Fiji was interesting. We could have skipped the "shopping", but that's because that's not really our thing. The docent at the Sleeping Giant Gardens gave us an excellent tour. The fruit punch at the end of the tour was fantastic (funny how little things impress). Overall, a very good tour.Written March 2, 2025
- 223arthurk0 contributionsTransferWas picked up on time at Nadi Airport.he is a care full driver and took care of us all the water to the resort.I would wholeheartedly recommend him Arthur kinsvilleWritten February 15, 2025
- BailsterHolland0 contributionsCulture, Gorgeous Gardens and Medicinal Mud,This was a wonderful experience. Our guide Avi gave us so much information along the way. We stopped off first at a traditional village and were introduced to some local wares before being taken on a tour and taught about history and daily life. The plants at the Garden of the Sleeping Giant were stunning. You’ll be rewarded for the hot walk up the hill by the view back across Fiji, including the bright blue ocean dotted with islands. And the cold fruit drink refreshment is like liquid gold. When we made it to the mud pools we were paired with a beautiful guide who explained the significance of the place as the locals’ hospital, how it featured in WW2, and the incredible benefits of the minerals. The on-site massages were the icing on the cake. Prepare to feel insanely relaxed. Tip: both the massage and trinkets on-site at the mud pools are very well priced. We were even taken past some cheap and tasty local fish and chips on the way home.Written January 6, 2025
- Jonathan H0 contributionsAmazing experienceWe had a terrific experience and Avi was a great guide. This is a terrific excursion to see a different side of Fiji and we felt like it was perfect. Shopping in Nadi, learning about the temple, and the garden of the sleeping giant were all so much fun. Ending it with the thermal spa and mud pool was perfect. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to step outside their resort for the day.Written December 30, 2024
- 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
- LeetylouandLarrytoo0 contributionsVery nice driver, Terrible tourOur 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.Written April 16, 2024
