This was a good activity to keep us awake after flying from the eastern U.S. The garden was nice, and the lookout was even better. I'd recommend it as a gentle introduction to Nadi (as opposed to going straight into the city)!

The orchid gardens were amazing! The sights from the lookout were tremendous and the fruits and juices were a lovely addition at the end of the tour.

Vuda has a nice view, but nothing worth doing the trip. The orchids @ Sleeping Giant are very impressive in numbers and their beauty._br/_ But the visit of the Fijian village is a true rip-off. First you have to walk through a market, where they sell hand-made and (mostly) chinese imported stuff for much too high prices. Then they walk with you to the church in the village and tell a bit about the history and asked for a donation in the church. Maybe we didn't give enough, so they brought us straight back to our bus. Overall we have been in the village for less than 15 minutes, which was actually the main reason for us, to book the trip.

Disappointing as it was pouring with rain and this resulted in everything being cut short without any offer of cancelling and rescheduling.

This was an interesting view of Fiji. The visit to Vuda Lookout was delightful especially as we were treated to a snack of fresh fruits and a delicious cold drink. We didn't enjoy the visit to the native village very much. The goods on sale were a bit tacky and the lady who lead us through did not explain very well or seem very interested in her work! The Garden of the Sleeping Giant was beautiful - full of a great variety of orchids and the lady certainly knew her plants! On the whole a tour worth taking.

The garden of the sleeping giant was beautiful and the snack was great. Sceenry was pretty but then all of Fiji is beautiful.

It was just the two of us and the driver. Our driver was knowledgeable and told us a lot about the country and people. The sights were great and we left with a great understanding of the country and its people.

Great tour! Nice visit to gardens and refreshing drink, could have stayed longer. Fantastic time at the First Landing village and finish off at the beautiful lookout. The tour host was very friendly, informative and made us feel part of the 'family'. Only thing is website says goes for 5 hours but it's actually more like 3. Highly recommended for half day tour of Nadi.

Nice opportunity to tour a historical Fijian village and see the surrounding areas from a high vantage point. The weather was nice, which allowed us to enjoy the splendid inland and coastal views, and the pleasant walk through the orchid garden.
