A Smooth Start to Our Adventure

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that promise both comfort and convenience for families. Our recent trip to Sigatoka was no exception, and I was particularly excited about our Private Transfer from the Outrigger to Nadi Airport. With two kids in tow, the idea of a private, air-conditioned transfer was music to my ears.

Our driver arrived ahead of schedule, which was a pleasant surprise. Punctuality is a rare gem in the world of travel, and it set a positive tone for our journey. The van was clean and spacious, providing ample room for our luggage and the kids’ endless supply of travel essentials. As we settled in, I couldn’t help but appreciate the smooth ride and the driver’s adherence to speed limits. It was a reassuring start to our adventure, and I felt confident that we were in safe hands.

A Few Bumps Along the Way

However, as with any journey, there were a few hiccups. The car seats provided for our little ones left much to be desired. As a mom, safety is always my top priority, and I found myself questioning the quality of the seats. They lacked the necessary locking clips, which made securing them a bit of a challenge. It’s a small detail, but one that can make a big difference in peace of mind.

Our return trip from the airport hotel to the resort was a bit more eventful. Our driver seemed a bit too attached to his phone, glancing down at it more often than I was comfortable with. While it might be legal in Fiji, it certainly didn’t sit well with me. There was also a moment of abrupt braking that had my heart racing. It was a reminder that even in paradise, it’s important to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.

Making the Most of the Experience

Despite these minor setbacks, the overall experience was positive. The convenience of a private transfer, especially with kids, is hard to beat. I would definitely use this service again, but with a few adjustments. Bringing our own car seats next time is a must, and I wouldn’t hesitate to voice any concerns about driving habits.

For families planning a trip to Sigatoka, this transfer service offers a great way to start and end your vacation on a stress-free note. Just remember to pack your own car seats and keep an eye on the road. After all, a little preparation goes a long way in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey for everyone.
