elsje Posted July 29, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2009 We will be in Suva, Fiji on November 4th. Does anyone have any recommendations on private tours in that area for island tours and/or resort day passes to Pacific Harbour etc, Catamaran tours? Thanks for any help. We are in port from 8AM to 5PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryandi Posted August 2, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) One of the Dept. stores in town had a jitney to their store. Some guys in native dress were there for photos and the store and merchandise were very nice. Then we started walking around and DH was waiting outside another store for me when a cab driver asked if we needed a ride or tour. We paid $50 for the morning and went all around the area, very scenic, etc. Others on the ship had made arrangements for a tour and went to a waterfall & hiking around, they liked that, too. Try Googling Fiji and alot will come up. Have Fun, MaryAnn PS We are going back this year and will go do the waterfalls. See, you think that will be in a 1-time place and you end up going 2x (or more !!). So always leave something to do -for next time.

I did Google and Lonely Planet and Trip Advisor had great reviews about a company called Discover Fiji Tours http://www.discoverfijitours.com There were other companies but they were operating out of other cities. We now have 10 people booked for the Jewel of Fiji and the maximum is 20 and I am sure we will fill this tour in no time. Cost is 120 Fiji dollars and leaves at 9AM and will be back at the pier at 4PM. We will go to the Navua riverbase and will visit a village and then to a waterfall by bamboo raft and motorised long boat. It should be fun.

Colin Ozzie Sounds great but am wondering how long did you have him for the day or half a day and what areas or places did you see. Sounds good. Many thanks.

colinozzie Posted January 16, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I arranged for him to pick us up from the Port of Lautoka (he had to wait just outside the security gate - away from all the touts and other 'taxis'. His price was half the other guys. He answers his phone - drives well and a good vehicle. speaks good english. he took us to our jetski safari point and then as promised was there to pick us up to take us back to ship. so all in all a reliable soul and one i have no hesitation in recommending. he will drive you anywhere you like. he does not live very far from the Port of Lautoka. best wishes. Colin Ozzie. ps we did the adrenalin jetski safari. exy but a good ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
