Top Denarau Island Day Trips

Rakesh provided a very comfortable and interesting tour of Nadi. His van was cool, clean and top notch. Rakesh was a wealth of knowledge and worked hard to make sure our tour was doable when we had some scheduling difficulties (I booked on the wrong day)! To be completely fair to Rakesh and this tour, I would HIGHLY recommend him as my guide and transfer anywhere in Fiji BUT I’m not sure I’d recommend this particular itinerary. Our whole group found it too hot for the hot springs so Rakesh pivoted and took us to First Landing which was very informative and much appreciated by all of us. The Garden of the Sleeping Giants is beautiful and offers a great glass of juice at the end of the walk. The Temple is a temple… but if you’ve never been to a Hindu temple it’s quite remarkable. The shopping is rushed and you are only taken to one store and while it is not a Government owned shop like you’d see in other countries it is very much a tourist shop. I’d personally rather go to a local market and support local artists. While truly soured this tour for us was the fact we were coming off of an Island high having just spent 5 days on a remote island. If we would have done this tour at the beginning of the trip, we would have had different thoughts. Overall, I’d recommend this to my friends and family and I would use Rakesh again on a return visit.
