Come and explore Fiji on a private tour from Denarau, Lautoka or Suva

Mud Pools and Hot Springs, great activity for the whole family

Do you have limited time in Denarau, Lautoka or Suva to see the sights? Perhaps you are here on a business trip, or your cruise ship is in port for the day. Don't waste your precious time trying to find your way around by yourself. Take a personalized guided tour, and see the things that you want to see, not what some tour company decides you should see! 

When we say personalized, that is exactly what we mean

Generally, when you book a tour you go in a group. You see the sights or do the activities that are specified on that particular tour. But what happens if there are some things you want to see or do, that aren't listed on any tour itinerary? Something that has been rather lacking in the tour industry (until now) is a way for you, the customer, to say what you want to see, do what you want to do, rather than just taking whatever tours happen to be on offer. Designed with cruise ship passengers in mind, flight layovers or just add into your airport transfer to fill in time.

So we have devised a new approach to tours. You book the day, rather than a set itinerary (or 1/2 day if you prefer) and we work with you through a list of possible sightseeing and activities, to arrive at a tailor made trip that is just for you. You will not be part of a group, unless you decide to invite friends along to share costs. After all, why should we decide how you spend your day, or who you spend it with?

Tours by a local Fijian expert

From small groups of just 2 to big groups all are well catered for in the village at lunch time

We have a small team of local guides who are experts at this kind of thing, local people with extensive knowledge of the area, and an enthusiasm to share it with you. They have all been involved in the Fiji tourism industry for many years, and are ready to show you their Fiji. 

They have  modern A/C saloons, larger mini vans, and small coaches if you decide to organize a group of friends to split costs. Your guides can make or break a tour. There is nothing worse than feeling that you are just another customer. But that is hardly ever the case in Fiji... people are genuinely pleased to see you, and the legendary Fijian warmth and hospitality shines through with everything they do.

What sort of things are there to see & do in Denarau, Nadi or Lautoka?

First thing to do, is make a decision as to a theme for your tour. For example, are you interested in culture, natural history, shopping, or perhaps just general sightseeing? 

If you are on a cruise ship, then you have approximately 6 hrs, which gives us enough time to thoroughly tire you out (we are used to cruise ship schedules, and the importance of getting you back to the ship in time). We have extensive knowledge of the area and contacts throughout Fiji, and can organize almost any type of day trip.
