Great tour to discover Nadi in a short period - I ended up being the only person on the tour so it was amazing. I got a personal tour of Nadi and great suggestions. It was extremely hot and humid so I was extremely glad for the AC in the van. I did feel like the Garden of the sleeping Giant was a bit rushed by the garden employee. My driver said I could stay longer but it was so hot so I passed. I wasn't a fan of Viseisei Vuda. I felt like I was being pressured to buy from them. Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Temple was beautiful, I came prepared and brought socks, if not you can't go inside unless you are barefoot and it was too hot for that.

Perfect to discover Nadi in a short time - Perfect half day tour to discover the main attractions of Nadi and surroundings, plenty of opportunities to take photos and to discover different places. Very knowledgeable guide.

great tour! - this was such a lovely tour! Kaiyum was a great tour guide and driver and kept us entertained the whole time. we visited all of the sites and also stopped at a cafe for some coffee and snacks. the garden was great as well and it was a wonderful time overall.
to note, i had to check in at the tour area right at arrivals (tour transport fiji i think, they have a store area). the whole experience went from around 8:30-1:30 but i think timing could be longer or shorter depending on what you need, i had an earlier flight so we were a little rushed at the end.

Highlights of Nadi are worth your time! - Great first day of vacation. Hindu temple is impressive—but you must be able to walk barefoot around the large grounds. The village stop was very informative, and crafts were interesting. 30 minutes at Jack’s gift shop was plenty. Tour of the farmers market was interesting, and even bravely tried kava. Garden of the Sleeping Giant was magical, and ended with a yummy fruit mocktail. Very nice intro to Fiji & Nadi.

Excellent tour especially if staying at the resorts on Denarau Island - We had a fantastic experience with this tour and our driver (Pradeep). With this tour we had our driver taking us to the different areas (Village, Sleeping Giant gardens, Temple and shop). Each of these destinations you are taken on a tour of the destinations by the people that run the destinations.
Pradeep was great driving us between the locations and provided us with additional information about Fiji, stopping every so often to provide us with a little bit more information and history of the Nadi area and the greater Fiji area.
Could not fault this tour for the price and if you are based on Denarau Island staying at the resorts it is definitely worthwhile to see what Nadi is like.

A nice introduction to the Nadi area - We had a very pleasant guide, William, who showed us around in a relaxed manner and was always ready to stop for photos or answer any questions. It was a nice overview of Nadi and surroundings and a great introduction to the culture and the general area of Nadi.

Good price, fun day! - The gardens are beautiful and the trip is a good price for a short day around Nadi, would recommend to smaller groups, individuals or couples!

Good tour - Very friendly driver, saw several sights. Probably easier to rent your own car for more time and see a lot more of Fiji.

Great day! Village tour was disappointing though! - Our driver Ron was amazing! He gave us so much information about local history and culture as we drove to and from all of our stops. The first stop was the temple - we had visited this ourselves the day before but were more than happy to go back as it was so beautiful. It was much better with a guide - he told us about the stories behind the painted ceilings and the figures the temples were dedicated to. Next we went to the produce markets. Our driver showed us around and then we wandered by ourselves for a bit. We chatted to some of the vendors and sampled some fresh produce. The kava at the market was much cheaper than in the commercial stores or duty free shop. Our third stop was the village - we were quite disappointed by this. This was actually the part of the tour we were most looking forward to as we wanted to experience more of the culture and speak to some of the local residents. Upon arriving our tour guide - a volunteer from the village - instructed us that before our tour we would need to look at the tables of handmade goods the local women were selling. She followed us at each table and we felt we had to make a few choices of things to purchase. She tried to get us to go back to the tables we hadn’t chosen anything from. Unfortunately (or fortunately) i didn’t take much cash with us that day so after committing to a few items i was completely out of cash. She then began the tour which lasted less than 5 minutes. We were so grateful to be allowed in the village and get to learn more about the culture. We couldn’t help but wonder if the tour was intended to be that short or it was because we had run out of money and had nothing left to tip with (as she had strongly suggested a few times that she accepts tips for her work as a volunteer tour guide).
The last stop was the Orchid Garden. This was our favourite part. The garden was so beautiful and walking through it was like being transported to another place. At the end of our time wandering around we were welcomed back with fresh fruit juice. There’s also a cat that hangs around who you might be lucky enough to see and pat!

Great Nadi introduction. - Henry was great, friendly and happy to talk not just tell us things. First time visit to Fiji and a great trip to start. Markets were good and the gardens and village trip lovely too.
