Mudpool Fiji tour
Great knowledgeable guide. Highlight was definitely going to the mud pool and the massage is highly recommended after the hot springs.

Bobby the guide and driver
I booked a tour with Valentine tours and the tour was very good. The staff at Valentine tours were professional and punctual. Bobby the driver and guide was friendly, helpful and professional. And knowledgeable! Everyone in the tour was pleased with his service,

Driver not very friendly,...
Driver not very friendly, at the drop off he just put our bags on the floor and left without even staying goodbye... Also we didn't have any guide in the garden so no explanation whatsoever about plants... Very disappointing. Way too expensive for what the tour is bringing compared to what we would have paid on our own
Response from the operator: Bula I'm very sorry to hear about your experience. We sincerely apologize for the driver’s behavior and the lack of guidance during the tour. We will take immediate steps to address these issues. To make it right, I would like to offer you a full refund, as we understand that the tour did not meet your expectations. Vinaka Valentine

Worth Doing
The Garden was beautiful and peaceful and had a great view of the ocean. The mud experience was nearby and we enjoyed it. Getting a massage afterwards was also a nice touch.
via Tripadvisor
Wonderful local experience of gardens and hot dprings
Very pleasant and courteous transfers and local information from Deepak of Valentine tours. The Gardens were amazing, the local guide knew all the botanical and common names of all the plants, the lookout was steep but stunning and the reception area very pleasant to relax in with a local drink. The Hot Springs volcanic mud scrub area and warm water rinse off pool were super tranquil and we enjoyed watching the native birds and plants while soaking in the two warm water pools. Definitely worth the trip and would do it again.

Private Tour: Hot spings & Sleeping Giant Garden hiking Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nadi.
How much does Private Tour: Hot spings & Sleeping Giant Garden hiking Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $81 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nadi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour: Hot spings & Sleeping Giant Garden hiking Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nadi is not rushed.
Is Private Tour: Hot spings & Sleeping Giant Garden hiking Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nadi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Hot spings & Sleeping Giant Garden hiking Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour: Hot spings & Sleeping Giant Garden hiking Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Hot spings & Sleeping Giant Garden hiking Adventure?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nadi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nadi and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Hot spings & Sleeping Giant Garden hiking Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nadi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nadi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nadi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Transfer-Nadi International Airport to Hotels, Private Departure Transfer to Nadi Airport from Your Hotel, Jet Boat Safari on the Sigatoka River. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nadi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nadi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Tour: Hot spings & Sleeping Giant Garden hiking Adventure?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private Tour with your own driver; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
