This tour presents an ideal introduction to Fiji. Experience the traditional Fijian ceremonies, view magnificent orchid gardens, and haggle your way through the local market.
Upon your arrival at the village of Viseisei, the villagers will extend a warm welcome as you are invited to participate in a kava ceremony. The drinking of kava, the national drink, is one of the most common ceremonial and social customs in the islands. You will also be treated to a traditional performance of local songs and dances.
Visit the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, a pet project of American actor Raymond Burr. The garden lies at the base of a mountain in the Sabeto Range known as the Sleeping Giant due to its shape and the accompanying myth that surrounds it. The garden specializes in orchids.
A short stop in Nadi allows time for some shopping among a plethora of duty-free shops. Local craft stalls offer woodcarvings, pottery and colorful tapa cloth.
Notes:
Ladies are required to wear knee-length clothing or longer. You must remove your hat before entering the village. Footwear must be removed before entering a Fijian home. Bring cash for optional purchases such as locally made handicrafts at Viseisei village (Fijian currency recommended) and in Nadi. Tour does not operate on Sundays, Easter Friday and Christmas Day.
