Informative, Friendly and Fun - This off road cave safari was fantastic. This tour provides a wonderful experience of the interior, Fiji's food bowl, local villages and beautiful nature. Our guides Moses and Saddam were brilliant, so passionate as they were local, residents of two of the villages that we went through.
I am a little chunky and not overly fit so was worried about the entry to the cave but was easily able to do the walk down and back to the caves and was able to crawl through the space with the guiding hand and light from Saddam.
This was a brilliant your and would recommend people do this for a bit of nature, culture and adventure. A

Awesome sigatoka off road cave safari tour - This tour was phenomenal. Started out with a great mini bus pickup from elijah, then had a fabulous guide sadam and driver moses. Loved all the info from sadam, was such a good day and a great lunch. Ended with a wonderful mini bus driver home, zac. He was also very polite and informative on the way home. Perfect end to a really excellent day.

Our best day in Fiji - Our family went on the Off Road Cave adventure yesterday. It was the best day of our holiday Our guide Tia Maria and driver Moses were amazing. We have a family of 7 with the youngest two children ages 2 and 1. Our Fijiian friends were amazing and helped with the children which made the day so much more enjoyable. This experience takes you into the real Fiji. Through farming villages and meeting wonderful people. The cave was incredible with so much history. A full Kava ceremony with village priests. The lunch at the village top class. Beautiful food grown locally. Off roading was a real experience that we all loved. If you want to spend a day within the real Fijian experience this is the trip for you. Thank you Tia Maria and Moses for the best day.

Fiji etwas anders - Great experience. From the river crossing, the off-road ride over sticks and stones, the kava ceremony and the cave tour with competent guide Tia and chauffeur Moses

Wonderful. Authentic cultural experience - The tour was fabulous and well worth the money. Driving through the beautiful Sigatoka Valley was great, then the river crossing and into the 4 wheel drive. Tia was an excellent guide, and shared her love and respect for her country and its culture. Moses, our driver, was an elder in a nearby village and also was kind and skillful with the truck. we shared kava with the Chief before going into the cave, to ensure his blessing. Authentic, interesting and moving. Then off to the cave. Amazing. Sacred. And a little slippery. The BBQ lunch was delicious - better than our resort food, and it was all locally grown.
Highly recommend. Learnt so much.

The 'real' fiji - Such a fantastic day out with Tia & Moses. Through the villages and along the river the scenery was the 'real' fiji - exactly what we came to see. How the farmers live and make a living was so interesting. The children swimming the river for school, even in flood! Then the story of the cave. This can only be told by Tia after you've been welcomed from the priest with a kava ceremony. A heartbreaking story told from such a strong woman proud of her heritage brought tears to our eyes and definitely made us reflect. Top job to Moses our driver, Tia our guide and to the priest for allowing safe passage and permission as well as great kava, vanaka - Sam & Starcee ❤️

Off road cave safari - An amazing experience - We did the off road Naihehe cave safari guided by Tia Maria and Zac during our Fiji holiday. It was an amazing experience. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Fiji who is interested in Fijian culture and history. Tia Maria and Zac were super friendly, approachable and made us feel safe and welcome. I would not give out too much information and spoil the experience for everyone but just want to give a huge shout out to Tia Maria and Zac for ensuring we all had a great time and the money spent was absolutely worth every cent. Thank you Tia and Zac 👍

Quite the adventure - Jack, Una, and Saddam were so friendly and so full of wonderful cultural and geographic information! Saddam taking us in the cave and relating how some of the earlier Fijians lived was both frightening and amazing. Knox was our driver from the hotel and he was so friendly and funny! Amazing journey all around.

Something Different from the usual Cave Tour - Fantastic afternoon tour following the Sigatoka River Safari in the morning. Amazing guides Tia Maria and Zac kept us entertained, informed, well fed and safe all afternoon. I really enjoyed this authentic experience. We visited the cave after gaining permission from the Chief Priest. Walked through the cave in its natural uncommercial form. No lights, no handrails, no music. Tia guided us through safely and told us all about it. It was just beautiful, whilst Zac cooked us up a storm on the BBQ and we tucked into a feast of locally grown produce whilst we enjoyed talking to the family and our guides. As we drived back through a number of villages we loved seeing the beautiful friendly faces of the locals all waving and the kids "Hi-5ing" the bus. Such friendly genuine people. We thoroughly enjoyed our "VIP tour" (as we called it because it was just the two of us on the tour.)
