You get to experience two cultures with this tour because Fiji is a mixture of Fijians and Indians. You also get to sample both cultures foods and meet many great people along the way. Lina is an excellent storyteller and can answer any questions you may have. I highly recommend.

Lina, our guide, was very friendly and genuine. The highlights was the visit to a lovely Indian couple who shared their home and lifestyle. There we got to taste some beautiful food prepared by our hosts. We then went onto the Fijian villiage. We were welcomed with a Kava ceremony, followed by a tour of the villiage. We then enjoyed a beautiful feast which was prepared entirely from the plants in the garden. They were super friendly and welcoming. Lina was a very competent and safe driver, particularly over very rough terrain. Overall a great tour and highly recommend.

If you want to see the real Fiji, you should definitely experience this tour. First, the guide asked me about my interests. As a university student studying agricultural engineering, the guide told me many interesting stories about Fijian farming style, field conditions, crop types, etc. I also had the opportunity to visit a primary school attended by farmers' children and interact with them. In addition, I visited villages and homes of both indigenous Fijians and Indo-Fijians, who make up the majority of Fiji's population, and were able to compare and understand the differences in their lives, giving us a deeper insight. They will customize the tour to suit the traveler's interests. Overall, it was a fun tour that gave me a glimpse into real life in Fiji. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.
Highly Recommended

Paulina was an exceptional, professional, personal tour guide. I spent the day at a school, market and interacting with two villages, one in Indian couple and the other a Fijian community. She was a cultural ambassador, sharing her respect for local customs and traditions, and fostering visitor connections with locals. I highly recommend this tour. My day was a highlight of my South Pacific travels.
