BULA! I have been in the tourism industry as a Tour Guide for over 10 years and I still have a passion for this field as a Tour Guide. I have been guiding visitors most of the time who always visit our shore on cruise liners from all over the world. I do customize tours to suit your needs and preferences. I'm a national and cultural city tour guide. It'll be my pleasure to be your private guide for the day and I highly guarantee that I will do my best come the day of our tour together in Fiji!

Come and Experience This Exciting Sightseeing Tour Together In Nadi Where 90% of our Visitors always come to spend their holidays in Fiji stay. It will be my pleasure to be your guide on this tour to show you our traditional Fijian hut (bure) in a chiefly village and their lifestyle. We live in a communal system and are self-reliant. You will be invited into a home for a bite. They won't be offended if you say thank you and continue with your walk around the village. That is one of the many lifestyles that you will experience in the Fijian community. The greeting gestures from when you arrive in the village are what makes Fijian unique and you will not feel unwelcome at all.
Matilda is such a lovely guide. Very knowledgeable about local history. She adapted the tour so we didn't coincide with the cruise tour groups which meant we didn't have to deal with crowds. The Java ceremony which Matilda organised last minute was lovely and gave us a real sense of the humble ( and humour it's) Fiji people. Matilda is a fantastic guide.

Great sightseeing tour. Visited Nadi and Lautoka. Matilda did a fantastic job of explaining the history of the area and taking us to the major sights.
Great 3 hours spent with Matilda. Very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend
Very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. Explains Fiji and Fijian culture very well. Greatly enjoyed the day with Matilda.
Matilda was very friendly and helpful. We had some time before boarding our cruise ship so wanted to learn more about the island and history. Matilda brought us to the orchid garden and the original village and landing site.
Our guide was super nice and accommodating to our plans and circumstances. Spending time with a Fijian person is no comparison to being in a resort and going out on excursions. If you want a true life enhancing experience, she is a great person to do that with. We have many memories that we took away with us from our few days with her.
We will be departing Lautoka Port around 0900hrs. 0930hrs- Arrived at the Orchid Garden for a walk through 50 acres of freehold land. It houses 2000 different species of orchids which were formally owned by famous Canadian-American actor, Raymond Burr. Refreshments of tropical fruit juice will be given after the walk. (30mins in the garden). 1020hrs- Arrive at Nadi Temple for photo stop at the entrance. 1030hrs- Depart Temple, we then drive through sugar cane fields for about 30 mins to visit our historical First landing Village where histories say that our first ancestors believed to have settled on before they scattered out. 1120hrs- Arrived at the Traditional Fijian village where our ancestors believed to have settled on 3500 years ago before they scattered out. Walk around the village lawn taking pictures of the traditional Fijian bure. (30 mins) We will then conclude our tour with optional souvenir shopping before dropping you back at the Lautoka Port.
