Oplev Nadi Tour

Our tour guide Rakesh was very friendly and made sure he met all the needs of his clients. He was very knowledgeable of all the stops along the itinerary and gave great advice on how to make the best of each stop. Rakesh is a great guy and I highly recommend him. I liked the tour because we got to see all the interesting spots around Nadi and each stop was just the right amount of time in my opinion. The stop at the Garden of the Sleeping Giant was the highlight of the trip. It was extremely beautiful. The stop at the mud baths was pretty good too, but we didn’t actually take part in the mud baths. Instead of the mud bath, we chose to get a massage (which I really think is the better option).

Good opportunity to visit key sites of interest in Nadi if you only have a limited time, so it was the perfect option for me since my flight arrived in the early morning at Nadi Airport and I had booked an early afternoon transfer to the Coral Coast. Our driver, Shivan, is friendly and knowledgable about his city. They understandably keep to a tight schedule, so don't expect to take your time at each stop.

We had a great afternoon with Rakesh. He was delightful and very knowledgable and generous in sharing information about the sights and history of Fiji as well as his life in Nadi. Rakesh was happy to tailor the tour to suit our interests and we enjoyed his conversation as we travelled between stops. Thank you Rakesh (from Nicole).

This was a nice way to spend the morning. My guide was professional, knowledgeable, and was happy to share what life is like in Fiji and answer any questions I had. I was the only person on the tour too! As I'd done the mud baths earlier in my trip (which are well worth a visit!), I spent a bit more time at the Garden of the Sleeping Giant. This was such a peaceful walk through beautiful tropical forest. We stopped by Jack's of Fiji for souvenir shopping and it's got a great range of souvenirs which are safe to bring back to Australia.

Great tour . Really enjoyed the mud pools, souvenir shopping and orchid garden . Our driver was really informative and flexible . If you have one say to explore Nadi do this tour but make sure you have some cash in Fiji dollars for the fruit and veg market ,

Rakesh was a good and enthusiastic guide. He was flexible and agreed to alter our itinerary because we did not want to go to the hot springs as it was too hot. He took us to the village where the first inhabitants landed in Fiji instead. He was knowledgeable and I would recommend him.

Rakesh provided a very comfortable and interesting tour of Nadi. His van was cool, clean and top notch. Rakesh was a wealth of knowledge and worked hard to make sure our tour was doable when we had some scheduling difficulties (I booked on the wrong day)! To be completely fair to Rakesh and this tour, I would HIGHLY recommend him as my guide and transfer anywhere in Fiji BUT I’m not sure I’d recommend this particular itinerary. Our whole group found it too hot for the hot springs so Rakesh pivoted and took us to First Landing which was very informative and much appreciated by all of us. The Garden of the Sleeping Giants is beautiful and offers a great glass of juice at the end of the walk. The Temple is a temple… but if you’ve never been to a Hindu temple it’s quite remarkable. The shopping is rushed and you are only taken to one store and while it is not a Government owned shop like you’d see in other countries it is very much a tourist shop. I’d personally rather go to a local market and support local artists. While truly soured this tour for us was the fact we were coming off of an Island high having just spent 5 days on a remote island. If we would have done this tour at the beginning of the trip, we would have had different thoughts. Overall, I’d recommend this to my friends and family and I would use Rakesh again on a return visit.

Relaxed trip, great host. Nice overview of the Nadi area. There is a wide variety of stops that are all interesting.

Guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we understood guidelines at the Hindu temple, walked with us through the market and myd spa and answered my many questions about life in Fiji.

Our tour guide Shivaan was very friendly and informative. The half day trip consisted of Nadi village tour, Garden of sleeping giant and Sabeto mud pools. Recommend this trip for anyone looking for a half a day activity around Nadi town with a private guide.
