Real Fiji tour - Sunny was a great guide and we really got to see the true Fiji. He was also on time and friendly. It was an eye-opener to see the villages near the coast and the way of living there.

Highly recommend Iconic Tours - We did the Fiji Coral Coast Venture. Absolutely amazing and very beautiful. Sunny was an awesome guide and full of local knowledge. Highly recommend him and Iconic Tours.

See all of Singatoka in a day with Sunny - Singatoka. Sunny was punctual from beginning to end. We were never waiting for him. He was excited and upbeat all day, even when we were getting tired. He took us to Natadolq Harbour for beautiful snorkelling, pottery village, waterfall, jetty another village and waited also for us to have lunch in Singatoka town. Weather was windy all day and overcast from lunch time. So glad we booked the tour as when we arrived back to where we’re staying, everyone was a bit depressed and bored with the weather. We said we’ve been snorkelling and had a great day… needless to say, they were jealous.

A fun way to see some of the real Fiji - We loved our trip with Sonny. Lots of fun, heaps of interesting local information and great sights. Natasha beach is lovely and a perfect spot for a swim. The jetty was also a great stop and our guide (Sonny) couldn’t it have been better. He really made the tour for us. Would highly recommend not just this tour but getting out and about in Fiji rather than starting at a resort for your trip.

Great tour! - Sunny was our guide on this tour. He was so nice, helpful and happy to let us do things at our own pace. The tour does indicate it includes bottled water but Sunny indicated we couldn’t offer it. He did get us fresh coconuts to drink from at the jetty. You might wish to take along your own water as we did.
We saw many sites and villages during our drive from Nadi to the Coral Coast area. We did not wear our swimsuits and wished to change. We just let Sunny know and we stopped at a clean convenience station where we were able to put our suits on. There are not facilities at Natadola beach so no where there to change or use toilet. Natadola was probably the most beautiful beach and water we’ve ever seen. If you plan to swim here be aware the water is not calm. The water felt wonderful but had some powerful waves. We also got massages from some lovely local ladies while at the beach.
The jetty was a nice visit. We wandered out and viewed a few starfish and other fish along with enjoying the ocean breeze and beautiful view.
Sunny dropped us off in Sigatoka for about an hour with a couple of restaurant recommendations. We chose to eat at Shiva and it did not disappoint. Had some delicious prawn friend rice and chop suey.
This was a great tour with a great guide. So glad we did this one!

A wonderful day spent! - I'm very glad that we chose this tour. It's a private tour and we were guided by Sunny, from Iconic Tours, whose knowledge of Fiji and the Coral Coast was insightful to us first time visitors and made for a great trip. The highlights were the drive itself and the time spent at the stunning Natadola beach. Sunny is a very polite guide with a great sense of humour. He ensured that all of us were comfortable throughout and was the key reason why this tour was one of the main highlights of our Fiji trip.
Highly recommended 👍

Thank you Iconic Tours - We had a great day out with Immu from Iconic Tours. He was very punctual, professional and attentive and made sure we enjoyed our trip. He was also a very safe driver and was knowledgeable on local information.
The itinerary was flexible and we could adjust the time spent at each location. Natadola Beach was stunning and we enjoyed a lovely massage on the beach for a reasonable price thanks to Oni. Sigatoka town was interesting, but in my view, the markets were not worth the visit. Overall, we enjoyed having a look around in what was effectively a private tour.

Vinaka Sunny! - Sunny was an excellent, knowledgeable tour guide. He took us around the coral coast and made sure we were taken care of, and that we wouldn't be paying increased tourist prices. He is funny, and made the entire trip enjoyable, educational, and entertaining. Fantastic work!

A pretty ordinary experience - This was just a okay trip and quite a way from what we were expecting. When we booked, we didn’t expect a private taxi driver to be our tour guide. The car was a bit grubby and the driver preferred the windows down, rather than aircon. Melting in the humidity and windblown hair, we would have preferred the aircon. He did ask us, but followed it straight up with the fact his ears hurt with air conditioning on.
In part, the average rating was due to the disappointment of the Coral Coasts itself. I expected beautiful beaches and great snorkelling but it proved to be not like that where we were taken by our driver. We asked for the main part of the trip to be snorkelling.
We hired a snorkelling mask and tube (that still had the zinc sunscreen of the previous person inside it), no fins available, and went out into quite dirty looking and smelling water. We were back within 10 minutes and opted for a beach massage instead. The massage was not too bad, but the oil smelt dreadful and was hard to wash off, even after a shower.
I am not convinced that we were taken to the ‘best white sandy beach on the mainland’ as was advertised, rather a place where our taxi driver knew the people and got a kickback. We were fending off requests to ride horses along the beach also.
Our driver was friendly and gave commentary along the way. He also said his wife ran a business from home where she cooked traditional Indian food and guests went there to eat. He asked us multiple times if we wanted to eat as his house, to which we declined bring two females. When passing the house of his father, he asked if we wanted to stop for a cold drink. I think his hospitality was genuine, but still a little concerning for us.
Overall, we left the tour glad that it was over. The Coral Coast Venture was disappointing for us.

We lost $250 for dodgy “tour” booking, which was just a car & Indian driver. - We booked this tour to take when visiting Lautoka on a visiting cruise ship. From the outset the communication was poor. We were originally told to meet the tour guide at the cruise port at 8am. I then noticed all the booking information said 9.30am. We arrived off the cruise and ALL tours and taxis were on the port. We couldn’t locate this tour anywhere so we called. The Indian Guide was very unhelpful and unclear with instructions. We were told to leave the gates of the port and go onto the roadway. I have no idea why they couldn’t come onto the port like all other tours or why at least the tour guide (which we later discovered was basically a taxi driver) didn’t meet us with a sign so we could locate them. We called several times and were given poor directions, then they hung up on us. We then called back several times to no avail.
Please see screen shots which clearly show that 1. The tour was meant to leave at 9.30am, not 8am. That we were to meet at the Lautoka Port (not away from all other tours on the outside gate on roadway). That calls made were avoided. Note: after writing this we note that Tripadvisor doesn’t allow screen shots, only photos.
The tour company refused any refund or resolution, just kept arguing with us, saying they were waiting since 8am. We DO NOT recommend this “tour” group (taxi or private car). Very dodgy and untrustworthy.
Book elsewhere NOT here. We lost $250 then had to pay another $250 to another Fijian Guide to take us around.
