See a less resort-focused side of Viti Levu with hotel or airport pickup, a guide, and five Nadi-area stops. Walk among 2,000 orchid varieties, visit Viseisei Village, view the Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Temple, browse Namaka Market, and finish at Vuda Lookout with fruit and a panoramic view.

“It was a nice tour, we visited the Hindu Temple, stopped at a fruit and vegetable market, the Garden of the Sleeping Giant Valley, Viseisei Village, and a final stop for juice and fruit at a private residence overlook, with a spectacular view. It was a long morning Tour but a great way to see a bit of everything. It seems you can really get access the way we did, only with a tour.
