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!!

5.00My 2 daughters and I had a great time on this tour. Our guides Tia Maria and Zach were really fun, informative about the local villages and day to day lives of the locals. We loved exploring the cave, the lunch was delicious and the welcome ceremony was very touching. I would highly recommend doing this tour ig you come to Fiji.

5.00Spent a wonderfully explained tour of the local farming situation, a visit to locals, and discussions about Fiji history including cannibalism with Tia and Moses. Very knowledgeable and accommodating and the tour including a kava ceremony and cave tour followed by amazing local food BBQ lunch wow! Highly recommend this tour especially if you get the team of Tia and Moses.
Fantastic experience!

5.00Zac was our driver and from the moment he picked us up he made us feel like family. He was a very responsible driver also. The cave experience was absolutely great. If you don't want to get wet, then this is not the experience for you. The whole experience from meeting the Chief to the lunch & the very informative talks from Una just made the whole day amazing. Make sure you put this on your to do list visiting Fiji. All the best Zac to you & your family!
MUST DO

5.00It’s a must do for any tourists visiting Fiji. We had the best experience Monday with Moses & Sudam. They were absolutely lovely and made the experience fun and lively. They also had a wealth of knowledge coming from the villages themselves that we drive through. Having tour guides direct from the villages meant we had a true Fiji experience that was fun as well and we got to drive through the real Fiji. If you can bring snacks and chocolates for the kids or even school supplies or clothing/blankets to help the villages. Hearing the history of Fiji whilst driving through and getting the most welcoming Bula from the locals you feel like one of them. You also get to experience the cave as well and the Cava ceremony which is all an addition to the amazing drive through the villages and scenery on the way.
Best day trip from Shangri-la by far!

5.00Awesome trip into the real fijian village life. The joy on the childrens faces can't be faked..the same as the bulas from everyone we passed otw to the cave. Our guide Saddam and driver Moses were awesome, and dedicated to showing village life to the world. The cave itself has an amazing history - come find out about it!
Wonderful day out!

5.00We had an awesome experience with Saddam and Moses. We were travelling as 2 families (2A and 2C each) so had a private tour which was great. We even stopped and picked up Saddams 2 nieces (5 yr old and 3 yr old) to join us in the cave, and our kids absolutely loved this! The cave was very impressive and Saddam was very knowledgeable, my 6 year old has even come home remembering facts that he told us! The BBQ lunch was delicious. What I particulalry loved though was the off road driving through the Fijian villages and farmlands, such beautiful scenery and both Saddam and Moses are actually from some of the villages you pass through so it was really interesting being able to get their intel and perspective. To top it off, it rained on our journey back and this just added to the experience. Would highly recommend.
