Nadi Half-Day Tour

A must do!

I was so lucky to have experienced this with my mum and sisters. We had the incredible Raijeli as our tour guide and she was amazing. Such a wealth of information and quite the handy photographer :) Thank you for helping us capture parts of our day with you. A must do for when you are visiting this beautiful island. Great for all ages.

The Best Nandi Trip!

This was one of the best tours me and my family had in Fiji. The detailed tour guided by Raijeli and our driver Salesh was spectacular. From our pick up to drop off, the experience was thrilling and my kids loved the mud bath especially! Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Nandi and experience the beauty of Fiji

Your kind recommendation means a lot to our team. We truly appreciate you choosing Westerzaif Tours and hope to welcome you and your family again on your next visit to Fiji. Warm regards,

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Not What Was Advertised

We booked what was described as a half-day Nadi Mud Bath tour. Based on that description, we expected exactly that—a mud bath experience. Unfortunately, that was not what we received. Our pickup was at 8:00 a.m., but instead of heading to the mud baths, we spent hours driving to multiple stops that were never clearly described. We were taken to the local market (which we had already visited the previous day), a farmers market, and the Garden of the Sleeping Giant. By the time we finally reached the mud baths, it was already 1:00 p.m. The amount of driving was excessive, and every stop felt underwhelming. Had the itinerary been accurately described beforehand, we would have chosen a different excursion. The mud bath itself was also disappointing. Rather than a guided spa-style experience, everyone shared buckets of mud to apply themselves before entering what was essentially a muddy pit with large rocks underneath. You sink knee-deep into the mud and need to watch every step. There were a few warm pools afterward, but the entire experience felt far different from what had been portrayed. The surrounding area was also lined with souvenir stalls, making it feel more commercial than relaxing. The return trip made an already disappointing day even worse. Since we were the last guests to be dropped off, we spent the longest time on the bus. Once everyone else had been dropped off, the driver began making and receiving personal phone calls through the bus speakers. We counted 12 calls. The conversations were loud, constant, and continued for much of the journey. He also pulled over several times to use his phone. It was unprofessional and made what should have been a peaceful ride back extremely unpleasant. We didn't return to our hotel until 4:30 p.m.—an 8½-hour day for what was advertised as a half-day mud bath tour. This was, unfortunately, the worst excursion and transportation experience of our entire Fiji vacation. It left a disappointing final impression as we prepared to leave such a beautiful country. I cannot recommend this tour based on our experience.

Response from the operator: Bula Mary G Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few important points regarding your booking. Firstly, Westerzaif Tours does not offer or advertise a tour package that is listed as one location visit “Mud bath Only.” The tour booked and paid for through your resort was our Nadi Half-Day Tour, which includes the main highlights of Nadi such as the temple, Nadi Town and markets, the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, and the Hot Springs Mud Pool as the final stop. For this reason, we always recommend that guests carefully read the brochure or review the full itinerary on our website prior to booking, so they have a clear understanding of what is included in the tour. Your pickup location at Marriott is also outside the main Nadi area. On many occasions, guests staying outside Nadi are required to make their own way to a designated pickup point. However, we accommodated pickup directly from your resort. As Marriott is located farther away from the main attraction sites, travel time is naturally longer compared to guests staying in Nadi or Denarau. In addition, there were delays during the tour while our guide had to locate one of your friends or family members in town, while other guests were waiting on the bus. These small delays can affect the overall schedule and return time. It is also important to note that this was a shared group tour and not a private or personalized transfer. Therefore, our team must follow the group tour route and drop-off sequence, including dropping off guests in the Nadi area before proceeding toward the Coral Coast resort area. Regarding the Hot Springs and Mud Pool experience, this activity is operated by the local community. They aim to keep the experience authentic and locally run, giving visitors a unique cultural experience. We take guests there daily, and the majority of our guests are satisfied and enjoy the opportunity to experience a community-operated attraction. In relation to your concern about phone usage, all our drivers are strictly instructed to use Bluetooth when connected to their phone or to safely stop the vehicle before using their phone, in line with passenger safety requirements. If your main interest was to visit only the mud bath, we would have highly recommended booking a private tour at an additional cost. A private tour could have taken you directly from your resort to the Mud Pool location without the other scheduled sightseeing stops. However, many of our group tour guests are interested in visiting the different attractions along the way so they can make the most of their time while holidaying in Fiji. Finally, if you felt at the beginning of the tour that the itinerary was not what you had booked, this should have been raised with our guide at the first stop. We would then have been able to review the matter immediately and, if necessary, cancel your booking on the spot. Once again, we regret that the tour did not meet your expectations. We value all guest feedback and will continue to use it to improve our communication, service delivery, and overall guest experience.

Excellent introduction to Nadi.

This tour offered a great introduction to Nadi and Fiji. Our guide, Raijieli, offered us a perfect narrative of facts, with humor. The tour included all points as outlined in the brochure. An excellent value. Afterwards our guide arranged the most convenient drop off points for all. Raijeli arranged transportation to pick me up after a later activity. We were coddled!

Nadi area exploration

Guide James was very entertaining and knowledgeable along with driver Bobby who kept us safe and on time. This is an easy introduction to Nadi area with best bits for me a visit to a village, school where the children sang to us, a wonderful orchid tropical garden and the finale of mud pool therapy. Don't be put off by a stop for shopping, Jack's store is in fact a smart department store well worth a wonder around.

Response from the operator: Bula Billse Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We truly appreciate your kind words and are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience in Fiji. However, we kindly wish to clarify that it appears this review may have been placed on the wrong company profile, as we do not have any team member by the name of James or Bobby as described in your feedback. Nevertheless, we sincerely appreciate your time and your positive comments. We would also be delighted to welcome you on one of our Westerzaif Tours during your next visit to Fiji, so you can personally experience our service, hospitality, and local knowledge.
