Dave our guide was absolutely fantastic! Not only is he very knowledgeable, he was also so accommodating (even taking us for a cheeky McDonald’s run to see if it’s different than the country I’m from!). He is so thoughtful, kind and happy to help. He is also a very safe and careful driver. The tour itself is so much fun. The temple was so beautiful and worth looking inside at the freshly painted artwork on the ceiling, exterior and walls. I have been to Nadi before and only driven past this temple, but never been inside until today! I never would’ve guessed how beautiful the temple is to just stand in front and look at, and to walk around the outside and even the inside. It is truly magnificent and a beautiful reflection of culture. The lookout for the sleeping giant is well worth the hike, just make sure you wear appropriate shoes! Nonetheless, I managed to do it in just slides but the wet weather did call for some slippery slopes (nothing imaginable). Viseisei village was beautiful and inspiring. It was such a change of pace than what I’m used to back in Australia. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has the time. And if you’re blessed enough to have Dave as your guide, you’ve struck gold!
