Découverte de la côte de corail et de la plage Natadola

We booked a private 8 hour tour on a Sunday and the itinerary Epic came up with: 09.00am pickup from Lautoka Port Visit Viseisei Village Visit Garden of the Sleeping Giant Visit Namaka Fruit Market Denarau Shopping & Lunch Nadi Temple Hike at Sigatoka Sand Dunes Stopover at Natadola Beach for Swim Dropoff at Fiji Gateway Rate: FJD$575.00 (Private Tour for both including entry fees/ bottle water) Turned out Epic planned an 8 hour itinerary that is impossible to complete in 8 hours. The pick-up was 40 minute late, nobody contacted us to notify us about the delay. When a representative eventually showed up, we were put in the wrong car. The village was closed on Sundays, so we could not visit. Why did they put the village visit on the itinerary for a Sunday tour if it is closed on Sundays? We visited the fruit marked for less than 5 min on our own accord. We got 25 min in Nadi Hindu temple, but finished in 15 min on our own accord. In Sigitoka Sand Dunes we were told we could not walk the trail that included the sand dunes, because there was not enough time. We were told to do a much shorter hike. When we insisted on doing the red hiking trail that included the sand dunes and beach, we were told that would take more than one hour. We finished in 40 min without even rushing. We were told we could not swim at Natadola Beach because the driver did not want the car seats to be wet and there was no place to change into dry clothes at the beach. Then why did they put swim at Natadola beach at the itinerary? We spent 15 min at Denarau and skipped lunch at our own accord. We got one hour at Garden of the Sleeping Giant, but finished in 40 minutes. The driver was not informed that entry fees were included in the price and had to stop by the office to collect money for entry fees. There was some distance to drive between all activities, and if we had visited all activities and had lunch as planned we would not have made it in 8 hours. We were asked if we could give a positive rating as their livelihood depended on it. Seriously? This was av extremely poorly organized tour. The only positive thing is that our driver took us to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant in the afternoon when there was almost no crowd left.

Ace was an excellent host, tour guide, and airport transfer person. He went out of his way to make us feel at home, and offered a very interesting half day excursion. We went up to the Highlands with great views, and also to the botanical garden. Both are highly recommended.

Enjoyable day spent sightseeing with our driver Junior Ali. Very knowledgeable and punctual . Highly recommend this tour

Small tour of myself and Auntie. Went to Sigatoka and went to lookout and market, Then off to small village where they made pottery that could be purchased. Ladies in village sang and danced and we did a lava ceremony, village people lovely and got us involved in dancing. Then we went to famous golf course and Natadola beach, Aling the way we stopped of for a coco nut water tasting. Great tour with Ali. Would book again with him for next Fiji visit,

Natadola beach is lovely. A bit less being hassled to buy stuff would have been appreciated. Sellers are very pushy.

There was just my husband and I on the tour, hosted by Kasim who did a brilliant job taking us to all the stops including Lawai Pottery Village, Sigatoka, Natadola beach plus more. He shared stories and facts about Fiji making it the most interesting day.
