"Discover Fiji's Hidden Gems: Eco Park, Pottery Village & Dunes!"

Very good tour guide

Some attractions are very good, such as the eco park, but some are just OK, such as the Sand Dunes. Nonetheless, the tour guide is very good. We told them that we wanted to taste local food, and he specifically made an arrangement with a restaurant. He even bought bread fruits for us.

Lovely day tour, tour guide was awesome!

Our destinations were interesting, my favourite being the pottery village with the Kava ceremony. The women at the village were very welcoming, and they gave a wonderful pottery demonstration. The eco park was more expensive than expected at $75fjd for basic entry, however it was pleasant. We were able to feed the turtles and hold an iguana so those were highlights. The sand dunes walk was not too challenging if you took the short route like us, but keep a look out for the exit sign on the beach because we missed it and that was no fun! We stopped at the Sigatoka local market for lunch and that was a particular stand out to the day. Our tour guide Gamal made the experience 5 stars. He took us to our destinations no trouble, and was a very good driver. He made stops along the way as needed for food or drinks and other things when we asked. He answered all our questions about Fiji and was very knowledgeable, telling us about cultural customs and information/history related to Fiji and our interests. He was very kind and helpful getting us set up at our excursions, and he gave us tips that will surely be helpful for getting around on the rest of our trip. For a full day tour we felt like it was action packed but we felt very well looked after and safe as female travellers. Would definitely recommend Gamal if you book with Valentine travel tours.

Paid Double!

The tour I paid for was for three places: the Pottery Village, which was a wonderful experience! The Eco park, where each member of my family had to pay for the entrance $69.00! That was very disappointed! For the sand dunes we had to pay $10.00 each, we were giving a map for us to go on our own. The area was very confusing, no one else was there at the moment, and we got lost!! That was a scary and a horrible experience for us!! Later, we understood that what I paid was just for a ride!

Response from the operator: Bula Helen, We’re very sorry you had a disappointing experience. Our driver/guide should not have asked you to pay the sand dunes entrance fees, and we will address this immediately. The Eco Park is optional, and we understand the high fee can be a concern; we cover the other included entrance fees for you. We’ll also review the map guidance to prevent confusion in the future. As a gesture of goodwill, we’ll issue a 50% refund. Please contact our reservations team with your reference number so we can process it promptly. If you can share your reservation number, tour date, and names (optional), we’ll speed things up. We truly apologise for the trouble you faced. Vinaka Valentine

Dunes Trip

Drove 1 hr to the dunes which were worth seeing and then to the Pottery Village which was nice but a little similar to other village visits. Went to Adventure Park only wanting to see iguanas bit would have had to pay $68 so not good value. Good for families.

Response from the operator: Bula Mandy, The adventure park is optional and entirely up to the guest. To be honest, we don't recommend the adventure part due to the expensive entry fee. We understand what you mean, and for future guests as well, we simply present it as a choice. it's ultimately the customer's decision. vinaka

Driving tour of pottery village, salad bowl, sand dunes, eco park and more

Mory was a great driver and was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure my friend and I had a great day! Would recommend him to anyone! The pottery village, sand dunes and Morys driving tour was incredible and we really enjoyed it! However, the conditions of the animals at the eco park was disheartening and disappointing.
