Half Day Nadi Tour incls Sri Siva Temple, Orchid Gardens,Local Village & Markets

Great information about...

Great information about the island and a lot packed into a half day. We even got to see Drua women’s rugby team practice.

Easy way to see the sights of Nadi

We thoroughly enjoyed the different places we visited on the tour but the tour guide made us feel a bit uncomfortable with contant references to the "Indian" and the Fijian sections of the city & surrounding areas. His guided tour at the Temple was too long & included too much detail that by the time we left the Temple our heads were spinning & overloaded with information. Highlight of the tour was the Garden of the Sleeping Giant - the guide there was very informative as she guided us through the beautiful orchids & other parts of the garden.

Solid

Nice tour. Tour guide was hilarious. We went through the market quickly because it was so hot. The village was quick, while the village guide was kind, we did a different village tour the next day that far surpassed this one. The hike was my favorite!

Stay away from this one!

The “handicraft market” turned out to be Jack’s of Fiji. Really? There is a Jack’s store in every hotel and shopping center in Nandi. Taking us to a food market didn’t make any sense. We couldn’t buy anything because we still had several hours of touring ahead of us and would have no way to keep things refrigerated. The historical village was the worst. We were dropped off in front of multiple tables of crafts and trinkets and pressured to buy things we didn’t want. SO uncomfortable and icky. The 4 - 5 hour tour dragged on to 7 hours! No lunch provided! The van was hot and everyone was sweating and starving when we were finally dropped off at 3 pm. Do NOT take this tour. Find some other way to see the orchid gardens. They were the only thing worthwhile on the whole trip.

Late, hot, no consideration for the guests interests

The gardens are worth a visit, but don’t take this tour! The tour went 3 hours over the end time of 12:30. This due to backtracking to drop off and pick up guests who were on a different tour! The tour operators did not provide any food and only 1 water bottle. We were dropped off at 2 places where the locals expected that we would buy from them in their market. This should not be an expectation from the tour guests. I would not use this company.

Informative Cultural Tour

This was such a comprehensive local tour of Fijian culture! Not only did we get to see how locals live, the local markets etc, our guide Sami was just so friendly and knowledgeable and shared with us so much information the entire time! The trip was enjoyable and a good break from all the water activities, especially if you want to learn more about the culture.

Bit Disappointing

Pick up from Doubletree Resort cost $30 per adult on top of the cost of the "tour". Then the first stop at the temple is underwhelming, next to the souvenir shop to buy, then to the fresh fruit market to buy more, then to the garden which is quite nice, but everything on a clock, gotbto keep moving. Then to the village, the first in Fiji, but very underwhelming and set up to buy more souvenirs. It felt a bit icky, like we HAD to buy things. Very unfortunate to have paid such a lot of money to mostly be encouraged to spend more, clearly there are relationships or kick backs at each spot.

Nadi City, Temple, Garden, and Village Trip

The weather was beautiful. The city, temple and gardens experience was wonderful, but I personally enjoyed the visit to the oldest village on the island. The family atmosphere and love for God, family, friends, and country was touching. The people of Fiji are the most FRIENDLY of any I’ve met around the world. They are genuine. Sashi, our tour guide, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and cared about our comfort. He made the trip memorable.

Highy recommend especially with Sashi as your guide. He’s the best 🇫🇯

Fabulous tour with Sashi, an awesome driver/guide. Beautiful gardens with gorgeous orchids. Enjoyed the tour of the temple with fun times shopping and seeing all the various fruits and vegetables in the market ❤️

Awesome tour guide!

Although Fiji is just opening and things might not be what they usually are, we had a great time. Richard was an awesome tour guide, made us laugh, talked, was informative and made sure we were having a good time! The orchid gardens were beautiful!

Good Ship Excursion

We did this tour as a ship excursion. It was a good way to see the highlights of the area and get a sense of the Fijian culture.

Humble tour

We got picked up from our resort in an air conditioned mini bus. Didn’t realise this was a private tour so it made it that much better as we were a party of 7. Our driver was amazing, so friendly and welcoming. All our tour guides at the gardens and the village were terrific. We brought along with us some school supplies and sporting equipment for the village children. It was such a humbling day. We stopped off in Nadi town to check out some shops.
