Has anyone done the Nawaka Village tour ...we have it offered as a shore excursion but can't understand why it is offered when in the disclaimer it says that village tours don't operate on a Sunday..we pull in to Lautoka on 5th Jan which is a Sunday!

I suggest you don't book this tour if you will be in town on a Sunday when the tour has such a disclaimer. Maybe they have offered the tour without reading the disclaimer. It would be better to book a tour that is likely to go ahead rather than being disappointed by having it cancelled and not being able to book anything else.
