About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:

- Coltonvic0 contributionsDont let other reviewers scare you offWe had booked the dinner cruise, dinner and show as part of our package and were very concerned after reading some of the reviews and descriptions of the boat to get you there. I had visions of a barge in complete darkness with snakes on board. The boat is the same as you would be on if you were doing a tour along any of the rivers in far north Queensland or the Northern Territory in Australia. It was a sturdy aluminium boat with bench seating up each side and the middle so that everyone is comfortably seated for the trip up the river to Robinson Crusoe Island. There were life jackets on board if needed, but they werent as it is perfectly safe. Drinks were available to get the party started. The crew were great and knew what they were doing. The trip up the river to the island was fine. The meal and entertainment once on the island were great. Its not a resort where I would want to stay for any more than a dinner but for what we were there for, it was fine. We were a family of 6 with grandparents and 5 year old twins. Our only small negative was that the karva ceremony when you arrive was too long as was the unearthing of the food and walking across the hot coals and the littlies had no interest. But they played on the beach whilst this was going on, so weren't too bothered. Once dinner started being served and tyhe show followed, everyone enjoyed both. The captain only wanted a spotlight at the front of the boat for the trip back so that he could see properly. There was no need for the rest of the boat to be lit. If you want a luxury cruiser to take you to the island, choose something else. We had a lovely eveningWritten 30 November 2024
- 457barbarad0 contributionsLika Lika island night tourWe had the best trip on the river boat through bushy terrain - met by singing, had fire walkers demonstrate, a kava ceremony, lovo meal buffet with fish, meat and chicken , roast vegetables, rice , salads- delicious, and two hours of traditional dance, singing and fire dancing. Fijian people are the warmest, friendliest people with a wonderful sense of fun and willing to share with visitors. This was the best tour we went on in our stay of 6 days.Written 24 November 2024
- phillydiver0 contributionsSleeping Giant Zip Line and Waterfall hike.I booked with Rosie tours at First Landing Resort in Lautoka. Only guest going, so, I had a private driver! The drive along some unfinished roads was about 30 minutes. Friendly driver. The zip line reception area was organized. They checked my reservation, then, fitted me into a harness contraption . Joe took me to the beginning platform, where, he and Bill, explained what I was to do. There were 6 zip lines, to complete. The hardest part was walking up a steep path to #2 platform. ( it is part of a jungle, so, hot and humid) Next, I hiked with guide to the waterfall. I chose not to take a dip, so, after relaxing , we headed back to the main area. Lunch was included, and, I had preordered the sandwich. My other option was pizza, which they made on site; and, all looked delicious! I took a quick dip in the pools , then, rode the zip lines again!! I was exhausted. A good beginner zip line !Written 24 November 2024

The river cruise to Likuri island was a fantastic experience albeit a land trip of about 2 hrs from our hotel to the boat station and another 30-40 min boat ride. We were welcomed by a typical Fijian hospitality and staff wearing those beautiful smiles. They had activities lined up for the rest of the day starting with snorkelling, coconut tree climbing and a taste of fresh coconut juice and witnessing the lovo way of cooking our lunch. Langi and Paul did the fire walk after our lunch consisting of chicken, cassava, potatoes were removed from the lovo. During the buffet lunch we were entertained by traditional Fijian dances and the amazing fire dance. After lunch we had a rest then went bush walking into the medicinal garden. My partner and I had the opportunity of planting our own coconut tree. This was followed by weaving class, crab race and finished up with a Bula dance. Such a good value for money experience! Likuri island resort offers nice cottages by the beach which we will definitely consider on our next visit.

It takes a couple of hours to get here from Nadi, but such a beautiful place! We snorkeled (I would skip in the future—reef is dead), had a delicious lunch, relaxed by the pool and were entertained with dancing after lunch. Many drinks are included in the fee, but cocktails and additional snacks available for a fee (cash or card).
There were showers and changing rooms; Kayaks and paddle boards were also available to use. There are overnight guests here—it’s called Likuri Island Resort.
Such a lovely way to spend the day!

By going on this tour, we learned more about the Fijian lifestyle and traditions and experienced the environment around us and how the locals live, which we would not have experienced staying within the resort.
Thank you to all concerned - especially Tori, our hostess for the day, she was great fun and Paul, the convener, was very well organised.
The coconut demonstration was great and was made into a delicious salad, which I would recommended being included in the lunch for everyone to try.The rest of the lunch food was a bit disappointing and very bland.
A variety of experiences were enjoyed including the snorkelling and dancing - although the hot coal walking, although tradition, was something we would not want to experience again!
The children travelling with us loved the interaction of staff, we would recommend it highly as a must do.
Thank you!

We have undertaken several tours with this tour operator. Part of it was just fine. However, the most expensive tour was a complete disaster: We drove a bit through the area, visited a department store and a village, took a quick walk through the botanical garden and were led to a restaurant where we should eat at our own expense. For this tour, which was intended as a full-day tour, we paid 400 euros per person. Not even a bottle of water was offered to us.

One of the worst tour experiences. I have been to a few tours here in Fiji and all of those have been great.
The TTF bus was supposed to pick us up from Gateway but they drove right pass us. Then we had to make 4-5 calls to rearrange another pickup and the officer asked us to be at Nadi temple and we had to take an extra taxi for that.
Now coming to the tour itself, it’s so bad. There isn’t much to do and the activities aren’t executed greatly. No fans in the shade area. The cutlery and plates were dirty. It was really hard to kill time there. All we wanted was to be back to our hotel. It’s just not worth it and there are way better tours in Fiji that you can do. This is all fake advertisement about cultural tour and fun activities all day.
There is no fun but just sit on a wooden bench for all day long.
Cant even go to the beach for a dip as there are bottles and rubbish all around the beach.
We paid $60 for the pickup from the hotel in advance. On arrival at the island the lady from the reception kept on hassling us to pay $60 again during the lunch time! I couldn’t even eat properly.
My advice: don’t go please!
There are many other FUN tour’s happening around Nadi, Fiji within the same price range.

Would like to give my very honest opinions. This is just a trip that takes you to an island which has a resort on it. All the activities are just organised by the resort. It’s 1.5h to go to the jetty from Nadi another 30 mins ride on the boat to the island and when you arrive, you either go snorkelling for 45mins or you make the raw fish dish. Then it’s 1h of free time, which we will see how they dig the lovo and then it’s lunch. Another 30 mins of free time and it’s a very short walk in the garden. Then you weave a basket and watch hermit crabs race. They have a short performance during lunch too.
It was so hot and such a waste of time. If I knew we were going onto an island that’s monopolised by the resort and you have to spend to get everything, I would not have gone.
Fiji cultural village does a better job.

Great day out for our family of 3, we enjoyed the snorkelling and earth oven lunch. Plenty of food to go around and we learnt a lot about the Fijian culture. Our guide was entertaining and informative. The boat ride was relaxing and also enjoyed the weaving class.
The highlight was the fire dancing and Fijian dancers and big thanks to one of the guides that helped our 8yr old go out to snorkel on the reefs. Professional and caring team on Likuri Island, not crowded and will go back next time.

Hiccup with pick up, had to ring to discover they had overlooked our pick up. Then a mad dash to catch the correct coach to the small boat that took us to the island.
Island activities were varied and very friendly. My daughters snorkel experience didnt go so well, with the snorkel snapping and no back up provided.
Food and entertainment was good. Would still recommend the actual cultural experience

My husband and I thought this was a fun and entertaining trip. First we had a little free time and chose to enjoy the beach and ocean. Then, we watched the coconut demonstration and Kokoda making. We were offered some to eat when finished and it was very delicious. Next, was the lovo digging and fire walking. We watched as they uncovered our lovo lunch and a fire walker came and stood on the hot coals once the food was taken off. Everyone enjoyed the delicious buffet provided for lunch. While we ate, the native dancers performed for us. Once lunch was complete, we enjoyed the educational nature medicine walk learning about how Fijians use plants for their medicine. Next, we learned how to weave palm leaves into a purse/small basket. The day ended with a quick but entertaining crab race and being serenaded as we left the island.

Bula Shellhale,
It sounds like you had an amazing and culturally enriching experience during your trip! From enjoying the beach and ocean to witnessing the coconut demonstration, lovo digging, fire walking, and even a crab race, it seems like you had a full day of fun and learning about Fijian culture. The food, native dancers, and the nature medicine walk added to the richness of your adventure. Thanks for sharing your TripAdvisor response!
