Great day spent. This tour is as advertised. Visit the Hindu Temple where you can view the ceiling murals( no photos inside) and a quick stop at the fruit market and downtown Nadi before on to the local school. Grab some stationary items to take so you can give to the students here, before stopping at the Village. This is a conservative villge so women wear a long skirt or sarong, no pants!. Off to view the orchids and enjoy a relaxing complimentary juice before you head off to the mud pools. Some people take advantage of the massages available here which are cheaper than at the resorts.We were dropped back to our resort at approx 3:30 pm so I would call this a full day tour.
Did the afternoon Garden Sleeping Giant and Mudpool tour. Was a great day - started with stop at Temple, then to local fruit/veggie market for fresh pineapple and coconut, Garden of Sleeping Giant (beautiful flowers and knowledge guide!) and then Mud pool village. Our driver/guide was great - lots of information. Mud pool was great time (Buna was the best!)- lots of laughs and mud! Great tour to get a lot in for half day!
Kamal took us on a fantastic day trip to the Hindi temple, Nadi town, a local school, village, gardens of the sleeping giant and thermal mud pools. Kamal was a wonderful driver and guide, giving us a warm welcome and answering lots of questions a long the way. The locals were gracious and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed singing Amazing Grace in the Methodist church in the village, it was a privilege and a thrill. It was humbling to see some of the real Fiji, meet the people and share their lives. Thanks Kamal for a beautiful day.
Unlike a lot of similar tours, this one runs exactly as advertised. Good day trip with a friendly and helpful guide (Gabriel). Loved that he went the extra mile to narrate the drives to and from destinations, and point out various points of interest. I would definitely reccomend this company.
