Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We called ahead and the manager agreed to open the gate for us to take a tour. He was very friendly and gave us a detailed guide to walk through it at our own pace. It was extremely hot and humid the day we were there so we went through it fairly quickly, but it had dozens of beautiful trees and flowers as well as a lovely view of the bay at one point. The only issues we had is that it is a bit pricey ($25 FJD per person) for how big it was, the route was a bit confusing to follow, and there were places where the wooden walk way was in disrepair.

I went there at the end of February when I had half day stay in Savusavu during two flights.
It was a really beautiful garden with various palm trees and other plants. Jim is really enthusiastic in botanic stuff and provided a knowledgeable guide for my 1.5 hours' tour. It was definitely of a good value. The only slight problem is that it was a bit far from the town and I could not find a taxi on my way back. I had to walk for a while till a ride from a kind gentleman.
It was a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE. It's not what I've come to expect from a botanical garden. It isn't a carefully manicured flower garden, it's a sprawling vista of spectacular palm trees and exotic plants. Truly a paradise. I wanted to build a house and stay there forever.

This collection of Palm trees of the world is laid out and under planted with an excellent eye for detail, texture and variety of foliage. A symphony to the eye at every turn.

We had a lovely few hours visiting the garden. Amazing palms and the variety is astounding. Even the ground covers are so thoughtfully planned. If you love plants and nature don't miss it. The walk around the timber pathway is well maintained and an easy walk. We went around twice to make sure we saw everything. Thank you for a beautiful morning.

We had our Resort call to make a reservation. You can go at 10 a.m. Monday- Friday. We were given a pamphlet for a self guided tour and a female guide offered to accompany us. We chose to wander at our own pace. It is one meandering decked walkway so it is clear. The enormous variety of labeled palms and flowering plants was amazing. The views of the bay at the top were stunning. It is mostly shaded and there is sporadic benches to rest. We spent about an hour. I believe the fee was reasonable and it supports the gardens. This was very memorable. It was a 10 min. can ride from town.

A gentle tour around a recently private palm enthusiast's collection in his extensive botanical garden, with the enthusiast as the guide. Whether you are a palm afficionado or just a part-time gardener, this is a fascinating and beautiful tour, and well worth 2 hours of your time. Delicious fruit juice too!

This place is a must see when traveling to Savusavu,Vanua Levu, Fiji Islands! Upon entrance to the Botanical Gardens there is a great big pond of water lilies and enormous palm trees that look as if they are from prehistoric times--very ethereal! The guides were extremely knowledgeable and cordial.
Also in Flora Tropica Gardens were so many unusual, rare and endangered palm trees, a mighty impressive Fiji endemic palm tree collection, brilliant tropical plants and colorful,fragrant flowers, fruit trees, tropical medicinal plants( including acai palm and mangosteen), all in such a tranquil setting. I really enjoyed gazing at the ocean and silhouetting mountains from the elevated walkways and vista decks. This was very meditative and romantic!
I loved this place so much, I would highly recommend it to anyone. Note: be fit enough to climb the stairs in a leisurely style and wear a sun hat or they provide colorful sun umbrellas for the walk if needed.

Does the Flora Tropical Gardens open on Sunday's?
We are due to visit Savusavu on the Sun Princess on Sunday 28th June 2015.
If we get a taxi to the Gardens what is the address and how much would it cost approximately.
Written 6 May 2015
Yes, they do open on a Sunday. Phone them on +679 834 8314 to arrange a tour for your preferred time as otherwise they are usually at 2pm - but they don't get people every day so I am sure they would appreciate knowing you were coming. Or message them on their website or Facebook page. A taxi is FJ$ 4 to 6 each way. Ask your taxi driver to come back for you in 90 minutes or 2 hours as not many empty taxis pass for flagging down. Make sure you take your camera, as it is a wonderful place
