5.00What made this tour/excursion so great was our tour driver Navi! Hands down the best tour driver! He was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor and really made the experience personalized! You will be missing out if you have anyone other than Navi!
Thank You Mohammad

5.00Our tour guide Mohammad was fantastic. He had a charismatic manner in informing us about the history and culture of Nadi. He went beyond our expectations and when we were late it was of no consequence to him.
Awesome private tour!

5.00Great private tour with our driver/tour guide Jason. He picked us up at our cruise port which we thought was worth the added fee. First stop was the Hindu temple where he wrapped sarongs around us to cover our legs. Beautiful temple so colorful. Was not crowded yet since it was still early. Next stop was the Nadi markets and produce markets. So many fruits and vegs and all so colorful. Next stop sleeping giant orchid farm. Boardwalk path or well marked paths to follow. Very cool and serene here. Afterwards, they serve you a cool refreshing tropical juice drink. Last stop was the oldest Nadi village. Buildings were all very quaint. We never felt rushed at any stop. The whole tour was right about 5 hours with Jason dropping us back at the cruise port. Just realized we never took a pic with him and wished we had.

5.00Great 1/2 day Nadi discovery trip. Had a great driver who gave us a lot of information during our tour. Very friendly and a very comfy van for the 6 of us exclusively. Lots to see, town, temple, shopping , market, visit to a genuine Village with a great guide. Also some money from tour cost goes to the Village and its people.

Village life

5.00An absolute must for visitors to Nadi. Organise through hotel tour desk. Pickup 5pm by small coach. At village a guided tour shows aspects of village life including pottery, tapa cloth making, basket weaving and other village life. A tasty lovo buffet dinner followed by a meke (action dancing) and other entertainment follows. Back to hotel before 9pm.
Lovely half day look at Nadi and surrounding areas

5.00The experience was great. The driver pick us up from our hotel on time and the van was comfortable and air conditioned. It was only our family on the tour which meant we could spend as long as we wanted at each destination. The Garden of the Sleeping Giant was beautiful (although make sure you have good shoes and insect repellent)! The walk to the top lookout was pretty steep and rocky but the view from the top was amazing. The tour of the village was great—make sure you bring lots of small notes to buy trinkets from each family table and our guide very knowledgeable. The fruit market wasn’t super exciting and we only had a quick look at the temple but we did get to see lots of Nadi and surrounding areas from the van. The driver didn’t provide any commentary, which wasn’t what we expected, but he drove very well and it was a relaxing ride so would still recommend.
Waste of money

1.00When you visit the Village you are expected to by souvenirs from each table, market was ordinary, no time to buy snacks, water provided was warm, very disappointed, this tour finished up costing us $540.
