          BEST EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME
          My dad and I had the best experience of a lifetime, the views were just something else. The Fijian boys were so helpful and gave us many laughs and amazing memories. Definitely do the zip lining if you come to Fiji

          Amazing driver/ tour guide - Deo!
          We had a great day out visiting the temple, local village including pottery workshop, a local primary school and Sigatoka markets. We were only a small group which gave us plenty of opportunity for conversation with our driver learning about the Fijian life and culture. Deo was a safe driver and seems to be well respected in the community, he even stoped at the supermarket in the way back for us. Thanks :)

          Zipline Tour to Remember
          This tour was amazing! Our guide Net was so nice and very helpful. He informed us that we would need to bring some water because of the climb, but he also carried extra for us. He helped us every step of the way and even took all the pictures and video clips for us. What a guide is all I can say about Net! After the tour we enjoyed a delicious lunch - Rice and Chicken Afritada. One thing I recommend is to take this tour after a good night of rest. I made a mistake by taking this tour immediately after a long 10.5 hour flight from SFO. It was so very tiring for me. Another thing is I would recommend taking a "combo" tour that includes this zip line tour with the "mud bath & sleeping giants" tour. I took these as separate tours so I wasted 2 days instead of just 1 day.

          Wananavu!!!! Definitely worth a visit!!
          One of the best days we’ve had in Fiji!! The boys immediately made us feel like we’d known them for years, super friendly and welcoming! We had a great group of guides, who all made us smile for hours on end. Ratulevu was incredible!! He took the most amazing photos of my husband and I, capturing some stunning moments at the various look outs and all the fun on the zip lines. (Better than some photographers we have used) Wananavu!! 🙌🏼 The ladies made a delicious lunch for us after we had finished which had so much flavour! We will definitely be coming back with our kids! Thank you soo much for an epic morning team 🤩🤩 From Tess & Mr Franko

          Fun exercise and amazing views of Fiji
          This is definitely worthwhile. Perfect for families. I went with teenagers but saw families with young kids who had a ball. Staff are super friendly, encouraging and supportive. But of a drive, and hike up the mountain - but well worth it. Especially coming down the mountain 😁. Staff were super friendly and lunch was delicious. Would recommend you take a large bottle of water with you! The guides will carry it for you and take photos for you too! Loveliest people!

          Tarzan tree top zip line & cannibalism cave
          Views were exceptional. Gorgeous hike across native lands. Staff were exceptional; friendly, safe & funny. Staff that were involved in the original project to develop the walking tracks through the mountains were still working and aiding in tours. Made for great history knowledge sharing. 16 zip lines. Some fast and furious. Some slow and allow for views to be taken in. Cave tour included. Food and refreshments included. Cute puppies awaited us on arrival and as we finished our experience.

          Wonderful!
          We usually do zip lining when we travel. This one was one of the best; from the hotel pick up to the actual zip lining and the lunch. The guides are wonderful and the views are amazing! Take cash for water and souvenirs.

          Great Experience
          Really great experience. Lovely guides, really funny. Lots of stairs, (many stairs) but not unreasonable for most relatively healthy people. They take lots of photos for free throughout the experience if you want. Lunch was great. There were puppies. The zipline was varied and lots of fun, the guides offered advice on how to do cool tricks. Would do again.

          Best Experience and Best Guides
          My best friend and I chose Treetops Ziplining for a half day tour and we had an absolute ball. There was some steep ascending stairs however it was well worth the view and the guides of course remind you that you are on Fiji time! There were so many lines to do with varying lengths and speeds. The guides however are what makes it the best time. Each guide offered to take your phone to take pictures and videos for you the entire time so you can fully enjoy the ziplines without worrying about taking photos. They are so so funny and have just as much fun as you will! They made us feel so welcome and the provided lunch was delicious!

          Zipline Must Do
          Amazing experience I have Ziplined at a lot of different locations in different countries and this rates as one of the best. We were allocated our own guide (Nat) and he was attentive and ensured we had plenty of memorable photos taken during the time we were on the experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a bit of fun and adventure. The shuttle pick up and drop off ran seamlessly and the driver was professional and punctual

          Zipping in Fiji
          Once you get to Zipline Fiji the experience is great. However nowhere in the description does it warn you that it takes around two hours from Denarau resorts. Also there’s no complimentary water! So bring your own water. The climbing up for the first 6 ziplines is challenging, and requires effort. The last 10 lines are all downhill and a lot easier to get to. The cave was interesting, but they either need to give their guides flashlights or install a few light, because walking down into the cave was very awkward with limited visibility of where your feet were going. We (ages 66 and 64) are in good physical shape and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The guides seem like they really enjoy their jobs.

        Dev took us on this tour and Dev did a great job with the cards he was dealt. This tour is probably best done on your own. The tour consisted of visiting a Hindu temple, which was great. Then there were stops at a local vegetable and fruit market, a stop at a souvenir store, and the garden of the Sleeping Giants. The final stop was at the Mud Pool, Natural Hot Water Pool with the option for a massage for those who were not interested in the mud. Except for the garden and the temple, all other stops could be completely avoided and seemed like filler spots. The entire tour seemed somewhat rushed and somewhat anticlimactic.

        Again, Dev was great and did the best anyone could.

        We got picked up at 12pm at our lobby and didn't get back to our hotel til 7.40 pm that day, even though the tour was advertised as 3.5 - 4 hour tour. We got picked up, and were driven to the Denaura area, where we had to switch to another bus to join hotel pick ups for other customers who joined our tour. Once they were all picked up, we finally started our tour. After the Temple visit and Souvenir shopping stop, our tour group had to switch to another bus again! Then we drove to the produce market, the Garden of the Sleeping giant and then the mud pool. Once those were completed, we had to drop off each member of our bus and we were last. Yet, somehow, we had to switch to another bus again - even though it was just the two of us and were finally driven back to our hotel. We got back at 7.40 pm. Definitely a longer day than expected and spent most of the time in the bus and switching busses.

        Our driver was Raj, and he was absolutely fantastic to do this tour with.
        You'll start off at the temple, then go to a shop to get some food to have for lunch throughout the day, the tourism store is quite expensive, but if you look over the road there is a local grocery store. Then we went to a local village for a tour which was fantastic. We then drove out to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant which was incredibly beautiful, there is a lookout at the end of the garden which is quite a strenuous hike (be prepared), but it is worth the views! After this you'll finish the day off at the mud pools which is a really fun experience! This was a really great day out exploring Nadi and I would highly recommend it.

        Today we went on the Mud Pool and Sleeping Giant tour with our knowledgeable and friendly guide Kamal. Firstly my husband and I got on the wrong tour bus and luckily while sitting on the Cruise tour bus at 8.50 for a 9.00 departure we noticed the Valentines shuttle bus arriving and quickly realised we were on the wrong bus😳 We jumped off and walked over to great Kamal and was told that we were the only ones booked today and were very privileged to have Kamal guide us. Our first stop was visiting the colourful Hindu temple followed by a trip to the souvenir shop where Kamal was helpful in assisting us to find attire that we need for a traditional Hindu wedding.
        Next we visited the farmers market and purchased some fresh and sweet lady finger bananas, moving along to the garden of the sleeping giant to view the incredible display of orchids and lovely gardens. Lastly the mud pool and hot springs was my personal highlight of the day. Never experienced anything like this before and thoroughly enjoyed it. I strongly recommend anyone visiting Fiji for the first time like us that this tour is a must do!
        Thanks again Kamal for making our day so enjoyable.

        We booked the tour the morning we landed and they picked us up about 10 minutes later. Our guide Deo and driver Raj were fun, knowledgeable and friendly. We ended up paying with American cash, but they were also very willing to take us to an ATM machine if that was our preference. Highlights were the village visit and the mud pools, but every stop was interesting and worthwhile. Highly recommend.

        Sam was our guide for this tour. It was myself and my sweetheart. Sam was very polite, knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to be with. The Temple was beautifully ornate and Sam was able too provide information on religious contexts. Our next stop was the market. The pineapple was absolutely delicious along with the mangos and coconut. We also got to sample Kava. Sam was able too explain the process of making the Kava. The Sleeping Giant was absolutely gorgeous as you hike about halfway up the mountain. Our last stop was the Mud pool. We skipped the souvenir shop because we had already gone there the day before. The mud pool was a lot of fun and the hot spring was amazing. We had a wonderful day! Thank You Sam. We wish you many blessings.

        The tour was an interesting snapshot of Fijian life. It was a lot to take in on a single day but it was very flexible and the guides gave everyone enough time to spend on their interests. Make sue you keep some cash with you for the village as the local people have their own stalls. The village tour was run by a resident there and it was wonderful to hear the local knowledge about Fijian history. The gardens were gorgeous and the climb to the lookout well worth it. The highlight was the mud pools, and I can recommend the massage at the end, which was a very reasonable price.

        My girlfriend and I did the half-day tour with Deo where we went to the Hindu Temple, souvenir shop, local farmer’s market, Garden of the Sleeping Giant, and Tifajek mud pool and hot spring. Deo was a fantastic guide. He gave us many fun facts and history about the local area, answered all questions we had, and looked after us everywhere we went (guiding us through appropriate attire in the temple, helping us communicate and pick out fruit at the farmers market, and ensuring we had adequate food/drink throughout). He was very kind, welcoming, and tailored the trip to our specific wishes. He also gave us recommendations for future things to see and do on our trip, which was much appreciated! The temple was beautiful with a rich and interesting history, the markets and souvenir shop were a great insight into local businesses and culture, and the Garden of the Sleeping Giant was an incredible look into local and international nature. Finally, the hot springs and mud pool were super fun, which we ended with optional massages, which was excellent and the perfect way to end our day. We both strongly recommend this tour and Deo as it has been the highlight of our trip so far!

        Great selection of highlights. It was awesome having a extremely small group (3) which made it more intimate. Deo was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Would have like a bit more Time at some of the stops, especially the gardens if the sleeping giants. Excellent overall.
