This tour was extremely overpriced.
Unfortunately to an unsuspecting Australian we thought $1500 FJD was acceptable although it was not.
We were picked up from Denarau and taken to Tau village which was just over an hour or so.
We were charged $10 FJD for Sarongs for men and women ( this was outlined ) although they were cut up pieces of material not sarongs.
We were expecting a traditional culture tour, no one was dressed up in traditional clothing. No “ warriors “ we were asked to donate to the church, we were then asked to pay $5 per coconut. They sang a couple of songs and then they asked us to donate for singing those songs.
We did not get a school tour because it was school holidays but still had to pay full price.
We were cooked a lovo lunch in what looked like a rubbish burn pile.
All up we spent $1700 Fijian on this tour not including the necklaces we purchased.
I felt this was a huge money grab and felt they were so rude constantly asking for money. The things we got should have been included for $1500
We then spoke to the resort they said the tours should cost no more than $200 per group.
I have received a lot of messages saying the company is renowned for ripping off tourists.
Always book with your resort for tours.
On the plus side we cold not fault their transfers to and from the airport at all.
