Fantastic, do not miss!!
Our wonderful driver Richard was waiting for us early, and we had a fantastic day seeing all the fascinating sights. Mud pools were so much better than I expected, a totally fun and memorable experience -- bring flip flops! We added on the massages, which were superb. The orchid gardens were beautiful -- lots of mountain trails, some moist, bring sturdy boots! We saw an extra Hindu temple in Nadi (for a few additional dollars) that was very worthwhile. Also went to the markets, saw beautiful views of the island, learned about sugar plantations, and so much more. Great tour! NOTE: Be sure to pay attention to texts on the morning of the tour. We had registered for 10am, got first text confirming that time, but then an hour beforehand we learned that van was there early with other waiting passengers so we rushed out to join them. Sorry to make others wait!

Mud pools so rejuvenating
The gardens and lush trails around the sleeping Giant was spectacular. The mud pools was so much fun and rejuvenating. Our driver did a poor job in time management. He did not give timeframes at each stop and when we arrived at the temple, we could not go in because it closed at 1:00pm and he arrived there after 1:00.

Amazing tour with a superb local Fiji born guide, Mohammad.
The large van was newer, very clean, air conditioned and there was only the 2 of us for the tour. After a rough start when we realized it was not the Nadi Hindu Temple that this tour would go to, we negotiated with Mohammad and the tour company to add it to our tour for an additional $40 Fiji dollars. This was after waiting for 20 minutes inside the gate by the ship, while Mohammad waited for an hour for us outside the gate on the wharf. Lack of clear communication, so clear instructions would have been helpful. Having said all that, the day was great. Mohammad took us first to the temple as it is the furthest away from the port and happily there were no tour buses, so we got great photos. Then we visited Jack's department store which had expensive but nice souvenirs, and the local flower and fruit market. Mohammad pointed out all the different fruit that were new to us and we tasted Kava and pineapple. Bring small bills or change for the tastings. The Garden of the Sleeping Giant was next. It was an enjoyable 1/2 hour walk but not as many orchids / flowers in bloom as I expected. I'm a retired Landscape Designer so my garden experience was coloured by this. The papaya drink after the walk was delicious and much appreciated to cool down. Finally the Mudpools. This was a highlight of the day. Our tour guide was a young local Fijian man who showed us the 75C degree hot spring source. He did an excellent job showing us the different pools and taking many photos of us pre and after mud. The mud pools were fun to wash off in and our face and skin really did feel softer. Mohammed gave us an excellent overview of Fiji and life in Fiji which we appreciated, especially since he went to places in an order that avoided the mass of ship cruise tour vans coming. Even with the rough start it was a 5 star day.

Mud pools are accessible
I walk with a cane and cannot stand up in ocean with waves because my balance is bad. I was happy to be able to utilize the mud pool and thermal pools which were fun and relaxing. Lunch at Boat Shed restaurant overlooking a marina was delicious and relaxing. Stop at Hare Krishna temple was quick and market stop was interesting but I arrived on a cruise ship so I wasn’t able to purchase vegetables (though fresh and low priced), so 30 min at market was a waste of time for me. Driver was nice but never provided an exact time to return to the van after the stop. Each stop we (8 passengers) were either looking for him or waiting for him so we could get into van. Van was air conditioned with comfortable seats—highly recommend this tour company.

Fun fun fun in Fiji
This tour was fun. Avi was a joy and shared a lot. Although the Indian history and temple visit was nice to learn and see, we would have preferred a better balance of history of the islands and the Fijian people in addition to the Indian history. The Garden of the Sleeping Giant was beautiful and the mud pools were a lot of fun. Our van was all ladies from our cruise and it turned out, we were all from California so we had a lot to chat about making the experience even more enjoyable.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shore Excursion-Nadi Mudpools,Sleeping Giants Gardens,Markets, Temple & Shopping: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Viti Levu.
How much does Shore Excursion-Nadi Mudpools,Sleeping Giants Gardens,Markets, Temple & Shopping cost?
+
Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Viti Levu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shore Excursion-Nadi Mudpools,Sleeping Giants Gardens,Markets, Temple & Shopping take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Viti Levu is not rushed.
Is Shore Excursion-Nadi Mudpools,Sleeping Giants Gardens,Markets, Temple & Shopping worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Viti Levu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shore Excursion-Nadi Mudpools,Sleeping Giants Gardens,Markets, Temple & Shopping?
+
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 Shore Excursion-Nadi Mudpools,Sleeping Giants Gardens,Markets, Temple & Shopping suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shore Excursion-Nadi Mudpools,Sleeping Giants Gardens,Markets, Temple & Shopping?
+
Around 6 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 Viti Levu 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 Viti Levu and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shore Excursion-Nadi Mudpools,Sleeping Giants Gardens,Markets, Temple & Shopping 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 Viti Levu 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 Viti Levu?
+
On Outty we rank every Viti Levu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cruisin’ Fiji: Monuriki, Mana Sand Bar & Snorkelling Day Cruise, River Tubing Fiji, Navua River, Naihehe Cave Safari in Sigatoka with BBQ Lunch. 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 Viti Levu?
+
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 Viti Levu?
+
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.
