I walk with a cane and cannot stand up in ocean with waves because my balance is bad. I was happy to be able to utilize the mud pool and thermal pools which were fun and relaxing. Lunch at Boat Shed restaurant overlooking a marina was delicious and relaxing. Stop at Hare Krishna temple was quick and market stop was interesting but I arrived on a cruise ship so I wasn’t able to purchase vegetables (though fresh and low priced), so 30 min at market was a waste of time for me. Driver was nice but never provided an exact time to return to the van after the stop. Each stop we (8 passengers) were either looking for him or waiting for him so we could get into van. Van was air conditioned with comfortable seats—highly recommend this tour company.

This tour was fun. Avi was a joy and shared a lot. Although the Indian history and temple visit was nice to learn and see, we would have preferred a better balance of history of the islands and the Fijian people in addition to the Indian history. The Garden of the Sleeping Giant was beautiful and the mud pools were a lot of fun. Our van was all ladies from our cruise and it turned out, we were all from California so we had a lot to chat about making the experience even more enjoyable.

The tour gave us a great look at Lautoka. We had an informative experience at the temple and enjoyed the market and gardens. The mud baths and warm springs were an amazing and fun experience. Even though the weather was rainy our guide Avi made sure we had an unforgettable experience.

I enjoyed everything we did, but the most memorable had to be the mud baths and the massage afterward. The entire experience was unforgettable. Our tour guide Jason was most informative. He gave us the history of the island and answered every question we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better, Tour Guide.

The mud bath was amazing. Friendly staff that were super helpful. However the sleeping giant was a let down. No guidance on what to do or where to go. All in all I think that this trip was over priced. The cost of enter to the sleeping giant was around fj$64 per person. Mid bath was around fj$40 per person we paid close todj$500

So glad we booked this excursion. Better than we hoped. Our guide was brilliant, lots of interesting knowledge and good humour made for a great day out. The markets were interesting, the temple was beautiful and our guide informed us about the Hindu religion which was truly interesting. The sleeping giant mountain and the orchid gardens were so beautiful, we took too many photos. The walk through the gardens to the top of the hill was so humid we look liked we'd been swimming, but soooo worth it. The mudbaths and thermal pools were the perfect way to finish off. Glad we were taken to the ones run by locals. If you're wondering whether its worth it, I can assure you that you willl not be disappointed!. But, you may be a bit hungry at the end. Maybe take some cash and buy some local fruit at the market to keep you going

Our tour turned out to be a private tour for just myself and my wife. Avi and Avi were our guide and driver, and both of them were great. The temple was closed to visitors on the day we went, but we did get some good photos. The Nadi mud pools were a lot of fun, as we got to channel our 4 year old selves. The Sleeping Giant Gardens were beautiful and relaxing. We were introduced to the Kava culture at the markets, but it probably will not become a part of our daily lives! Overall it was a really fun day.

This was a lovely afternoon tour on a day when the weather was a bit difficult. The temple was interesting but in bare feet was slippery! We loved the Garden of The Sleeping Giant and had a wonderful massage at The Mudpools and hot springs. Our tour guide was keen and enthusiastic and very informative
