It was by far the best tour we had. Manjo was our guide and he gave us in-depth conversation about Fiji. I definitely recommend booking this trip with him!”

See Nadi’s temple, orchid gardens, village, fruit markets, and handicraft stalls on a practical half-day Fiji tour with hotel pickup.

“We had only one day to get a feel for the culture of Fiji. This tour took us to a local town, gave us a view of the beach, and we visited a Fijian village. (School was not in session when we visited.). Deo, our guide, was excellent. He answered all our questions and gave us great insight into the many facets of Fiji.”
Visit Fiji’s oldest settlement, a village school, and Sabeto’s mud pools and hot springs on a practical four-hour tour from Nadi.
“We liked the history that was told about the local village. The mud pool was a great experience. Unfortunately our transport was very reliable and broke down. The driver did his best to jump start the car but we were still forced to stand outside the car for 1 hr while this was being fixed. Then at the mud pool the driver wasn’t there to collect us. We had to ask another taxi driver to call our driver to make sure he was coming back to collect us”

Review of Fiji’s village, kava, mud-crab, and Likuri Island tour, with practical advice on timing, value, activities, and expectations.
“The staff were all super lovely and overall it was a fun day. The village is where they’ve found evidence of the earliest permanent settlement in Fiji and the experience was taken very seriously so it felt welcoming and a good insight into traditional culture. The mud crab catching is definitely just a small pit stop along the river journey and we didn’t get to eat them or see them prepared. The island has a bit of a faded glam feel and my pedicure was not salon quality. But the buffet food was good, the beach is nice and quiet, there was a nice mix of free activities to opt…”
Review of Fiji’s Cultural Island Adventure, with a jungle cruise, lovo feast, fire walking, cultural shows, snorkeling, and practical tips.
“The activity wasn’t bad but could be improved. Pick-up at the hotel was a bit confusing, because this experience according the driver was called Robinson Crusoe Experience, not the name we had on the tickets. It’s written nowhere that they take you to a private island resort. The jungle cruise is pretty boring, none of the staff is talking, playing music or explaining where we were going. The resort itself is very basic, the sea was unsafe due to sting rays and the pool was full of gunk. I’ll give it 3 stars anyway because the staff was super kind and lovely. If you go during summer be prepared for…”
Pick a jetty, a village or a hot pool.
