“Thank you Iconic & Junior - Me and my wife stayed at the Double Tree by Hilton and had a few activities planned when we booked our trip. After the second day of staying at the resort We decided to go on a beer run because $15FJD for a single Fiji Gold is outrageous. As we headed into town, We where dropped off at Jacks of Fiji were we spoke to a gentleman who had let us know about Iconic and so we immediately went in search of them. A short walk down the street and we where greeted by a man, The owner whos name I cannot remember, walked us into his office. He was such a knowledgeable man and showed us different activities and even bundled a bunch. We chose 3 and paid the man a very fair price as we came to find out when we looked up the prices on our own. The day of the first activity We were picked up by our taxi driver and let me tell you, He was phenomenal!!!! Junior took us to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant for some ziplining where the entire way he was giving us all types of information about the garden as well as the island of Fiji, the local crops and even what the locals do for fun. He was without a doubt the reason why the first day was amazing because the following day we had a different taxi and that man was very quiete. All in all I would highly recommend Iconic and I greatly recommend that you ask specifically for Junior to be your taxi-guide because he will go above and beyond. My wife and I will definitely be going back to Fiji and planning our trip with Iconic. Thanks for everything fellas!!!! Vinaka Vaka Levu, Kim & Angel” (Reviewed at: 2019-10-20)
