5.00We were lucky enough to have Saddam and Moses as our driver and guide. The experience was unbelievable with Saddam's knowledge of the area making the trip great. Saddam assured us about the entry to the cave and we crawled in through water and was met with a huge cave chamber. Moses cooked a great BBQ with local bread fruit which tasted fantastic. A great experience worth every effort to get there walking through ankle deep mud
off the beaten path experience!

5.00Very authentic experience! Tia our guide and Moses our driver brought us a wonderful experience in the caves. There were two full buses of tourists when we left the sign-in center, but we ended up having a private tour - only the two of us opted for the cave tour, rest went with exciting river jet experience. The drive from the river bank to the cave was a scenic one that pass through Moses' village and Tia explained local village lives to us. The cave has been kept in its original state - no lighting, no built walkway, etc - be prepared to walk in the water. at one point, I felt I was part of an Indiana Jones movie, trekking in underground waters to some hidden treasure. Lunch was simple, but very fresh, and I enjoyed the chat a lot!
Really amazing tour! It’s...

5.00This off-road cave safari was exceptional and a must-do if you are visiting Fiji. Our tour guide was Saddam who was very funny, informative and pleasant. He made the tour very enjoyable. Our driver was Moses and he drove skilfully and with a bit of action. The lunch was also pretty good with tonnes of variety. You should probably bring clothes and shoes that can get wet and something to change into. Wear shoes that you are comfortable taking into the water as well because they are required in the cave.
Best tour in the Sigatoka Region.

5.00Sadam and Moses ensured we had an amazing day out along the Sigatoka River. We passed through many villages where they stopped for scenic photos and educated us about Village life. So many people throughout the villages greeted us warmly. The caving experience was amazing. A small group tour ensured all our needs were taken care of and questions answered. A great way to learn about history, culture and nature. Sadam was a fantastic guide who clearly cares deeply about his work and his Village home. Moses prepared an incredible lunch for us and we are so grateful to the chiefs wife for welcoming us and preparing the Kava ceremony. A must do experience whilst in Fiji.
An experience of a lifetime!!
