Don’t miss this - We ended up on a private tour for this as I don’t think many people know about the Sigatoka sand dunes! The boat tours are really popular, but you should definitely try to do this tour as well. An hour drive from Nadi, our guide Deo took us to a village where the women make pottery by hand, which we got to watch them do. We participated in a kava ceremony with them and then had a chance to buy some of their pottery- a real treat! The highlight was the sand dunes. If they ask if you’d like to do the short walk to the dunes or the long walk, choose the long walk and you won’t regret it- be ready to climb up some pretty steep sand! And unforgettable experience. The photos don’t do it justice!

Different experiences vs water activities - Our tour guide Anand explained to us about Fiji culture including education system and economy, we were the only people on the tour and he let us explore the places on our pace. Pottery village was a wonderful experience. Kava ceremony and dance. We even got to dance with them! Fascinating way to make a pottery. Walk in the sand dune was peaceful.

Fun way to see Fiji - We were the only two who joined this tour. Anand was very friendly and knowledge about Fiji culture, and helped us understand Fiji. He was friendly and gave us ample time to enjoy places we visited - the village, the market, shopping amd sand dune. The van was comfortable too.

Coral Coast - The day was stunning meeting the youngsters at the school , the pottery visit which was excellent - the ladies were so friendly and the visit to the market was so interesting as was the Krishna templeall made extra special by our very knowledgeable friendly accommodating guide Amand. My advice - do the tour and ask for Anand. Also the visit to the Kula Adventure park was worth the extra

EXCELLENT TOUR-KNOWLEDGEABLE TOUR GUIDE-GOOD VALUE - My wife and I travelled with a gentleman named Kamal who picked us up, on time, at our Sofitel resort. His car was spotlessly clean, air conditioned and comfortable to ride in. We travelled along to Coast to Sigatoka, seeing the Nadroga Sangam School, a small village and Hare Krishna temple. Kamal was knowledgable and polite, providing us with cold drinks as we travelled. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip with Kamal and would recommend him and this tour to anyone considering such a trip
