Is lunch included in the tour price?

No, lunch is not included. The tour stops at a local restaurant, but you pay separately for your meal. Your guide will recommend options suited to your dietary preferences.

What's the dress code for the temple visit?

Wear modest clothing—cover shoulders and knees. Avoid sleeveless tops and shorts. This shows respect for the spiritual space.

Do I need cash for the markets?

Yes, it's wise to bring cash in Fijian dollars (FJD) or Australian dollars. Smaller vendors at Sigatoka and Lawai may not accept cards. Your guide can advise on exchange options before the tour.

How much walking is involved?

Expect 1.5–2 hours of walking spread across village paths, markets, and between sites. Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes as surfaces are uneven. The pace is leisurely with frequent stops.

What's included in the EUR 75 price?

The price covers transport, guide services, and entrance to cultural sites (Lawai village, temple, markets). Lunch, shopping, and personal expenses are extra.

Can I buy authentic crafts directly from artisans?

Yes. Lawai village potters often sell their work on-site, and markets have local handicrafts. Your guide can help you identify authentic pieces and facilitate introductions with makers.

our guide Hassan sorted everything for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight. Went last tuesday so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the tour we did in cancun last year, and mid-week so it was quiet. Would book again no question.

our guide Pedro couldnt do enough for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. Over easter break so it wasnt too busy. Good as a half-day option, and 6 stops in about 3 hours, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question, no joke
