Wir waren mit dem Auto unterwegs und wollten eigentlich nur einen Drink an der Bar nehmen. An der Schranke wurden wir harsch abgewiesen. Gäste seien nicht willkommen. Man lasse ausschließlich gebuchte Personen auf das Gelände.
Ein solcher Vorgang war für mich das erste Mal.

We booked online from home and the webpage listed numerous things that would be included in the half day experience. Email communication was good, and pickup was on time. However, we never would have booked if we knew so much was not being included.
# The light lunch was just juices bought by the driver who nipped into a local service station shop.
# Half the journey was cancelled as the local elders had apparently closed it starting on our day of travel
# The tour did not include the local village or cave as stated on the webpage. We had purchased sarongs specifically for this visit
# There was no opportunity to buy anything from the markets
# There was no celebratory coconut
# The horse ride was very short and the horses were very malnourished
# The tour ended very early as the driver had to get other people from the airport, so we were returned to our hotel.
1/5 Would not recommend

Bula Daniel, we sincerely apologize that your trip turned out that way. There are times when things happen in the local villages which are notified to the company late. The driver that took you has been taken to task for rushing the trip back as that is something that they are reminded not to do. We hope that the next time you do visit Fiji we will be able to compensate you on your inconvinience.

Highly recommend! Myself and sisters completed this beautiful Fijian Cultural tour to Tau Village and left feeling so touched and wholesome by our experience. We loved knowing that our contributions go to this beautiful village. We all felt extremely welcome by the locals + school children of Tau Village and felt completely privileged to have the opportunity to spend the day immersing in Fiji’s beautiful culture. From being shown around the school by the children, yarning about their exams, favourite games, to the laughter, jokes and many photos the children wished for with us to the welcoming Kava ceremony in the Village, to drinking coconuts from the young men, to participating in song and dance, not to mention the beautiful traditional Fijian Lovo made for us to have for lunch at the house to end our tour. We all feel extremely grateful for our experience and wholeheartedly loved our day experiencing and educating ourselves on Fiji. Thank you all of Mick’s Tour for having us with you to learn about people, culture and land of Fiji. We had so much fun. We already can’t wait to come back! Also, big thanks and appreciation to our driver James for all your kindness + time!

We did the zip lining and the village tour. Let me first start by saying the zip lining was 10/10. The locals were kind, fun and treated us so well. We had the best time ever and the zip lining was definitely a highlight. After we did this for a couple of hours, the driver, who I must add was absolutely lovely, took us to Tua village, I was so excited to do this and had purchased lead pencils, boxes of coloured pencils, erasers, rulers, you name it, I had spent over $100 on stationery and some chocolates too. So we arrive in the village to be told we can’t wear our hats and needed to put on a sarong, that initially I was touched by. That quickly changed when the owner of micks tours said oh they are $10 each. I stayed in a good mindset and I was quite happy to buy it. We then went and had a kava ceremony that was great and they welcomed us to the village. I was feeling pretty touched by all of and adored how they all dressed up for us and welcomed us to their village. We then went to another hut where they danced and sung and got us up to dance which was pretty funny. Feeling quite privileged and happy that finished and then she appeared with a box that we were expected to pay for the entertainment. So we did, I was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable, but quite happily gave them some money as we had specifically taken out some cash to give them at the end of the day anyway. So then we went to their church and she said oh we really want to rebuild it and if you feel like donating that would be great, her little boy was holding a wooden bowl for us to put money in. Well now we were completely out of cash!! I knew they had some jewellery we could buy later but I was all out, I told her several times, oh I’m out of money now, but I think she just pretended she didn’t hear me.
We walked out of the church and one of the men was trimming up green coconuts and said to me, would u like to try some coconut juice, out of respect I said oh yes sure thank you, she immediately said oh that’s $5!!! I was like, holy crap I’m out of money!!
Anyway we then went to the school which I was busting with excitement to give the kids the stuff I had lugged all the way from Australia! We were sat down in the principals office where he sat and pretty much ran down all the kids, saying they are so far behind academically to other village kids and that they really need to try and be more than they were, I got pretty annoyed with the way he running them down. He then produced a big book with DONATIONS in huge letters on the front and sat back waiting for us to donate! But…as I said I was out of cash! I half expected a eftpos machine to be produced.
We then went into year 1, I asked how many classrooms there were and they said 4 so I divided a box of pencils with the kids as I needed to leave stuff in the bag to make sure everyone got something.
We left year 1 and walked straight past another class and went to year 8 and they were doing exams so she said we can’t come in, the teacher came out and she said, oh give all the rulers to these kids.
She then directed us back to the bus! I said oh I still have this huge bag with all these things for the kids, she said oh just give it to the kids back in the village.
So we left the school and went to her house for lunch, it was a lovo lunch that is cooked in the ground but we didn’t see that, it was all on the table and was very well presented. As I got closer I saw the millions of fly’s sitting all in it! The lunch had chicken, chips, spinach in coconut cream, it was stone cold and the chicken was incredibly dry, I was really concerned that I would get sick so once again out of respect I had a nibble on things but really ate nothing, I wasn’t game. She then pointed us to a table that had jewellery and other so called handmade things and encouraged us to buy, I explained again I was out of cash.
It was then time to leave and I said, oh I have all this stuff for the kids and she said oh just give it all to me.
We left in the bus and as we were backing down the steep driveway, she came running out stopping the bus, she got on the bus and said to us the other couple, oh u didn’t pay for the coconut!!! I was so embarrassed and said, I don’t have any money!!!! Thankfully the other beautiful couple paid for mine!!
The whole village tour seemed like a complete shakedown and scam that they do to everyone, I really had to do a review on this to enlighten other people if they go on this. To me it was a complete rail road and really put a bad taste in my mouth. This woman and the principal were the only 2 Fijian people that made our trip feel like we were used and abused! I paid $400 aus for this which is about $600fj.
Very very disappointing

We had a lovely day out. Visited the local school and got to speak to the headmaster and a few teachers and children which was lovely.
Then onto the local village for a traditional welcome which was beautiful.
Some Kava, some awesome singing by the locals which is just amazing and the local children are beautiful.
Great day.

We were picked up by Mick in the morning and taken to the Zip line and Tau village. We had an awesome time at the zip line - lots of cardio exercise. The views as you go from zip line to zip line was breath taking. We then went to the Tau village and met the village and it’s elders. We watched a performance from the entire village and had Kava with them. After that we had lunch at the family home - and the food was wonderful. The traditional Fijian food was authentic and we all appreciated how beautifully it was prepared. To finish off we had coconut juice, which just topped off the whole day.

My husband and myself stayed at the Marriott resort about 10 minutes away from this village which was handy.
First of all we decided not to take the optional lunch package as we had not long finished breakfast.
We meet with our tour guide who on the way explained all about the village and the culture of the place.
Then it all started to slowly go down hill from there. Not 5 minutes out of the resort we were told that we were expected to bring a gift to the chief of the village as a sign of respect. So we stop at this little shop just out of the resort and go in and he tells us that we should buy some Kava maybe fj$15 worth.
So that’s fine we start our trip to the village again.
Then we get to the village to be greeted by the chief of the village who pops some sea shells around our necks with a greeting. Then he starts putting a sarong around our waists (which was not even a proper sarong it’s just a piece of material that’s been bought and not even sewn, just ratty frayed edges.) My husband gives him the Kava which you could see he was expecting too.
We have a small ceremony in there meeting house then takes us too the church. I make a small donation into the donation box.
He then says.....”oh I forgot to tell you those lovely sarongs are fj$10 each” and waits for me to hand over the money.
We then head back to the meeting house to finish off the meet ‘n greet but we are not invited into the meeting house this time we are given the left over Kava just outside the door this time. We felt that was a bit rushed.
He then asks if we would like to see the souvenirs shop, virtually leading us there.
We go to someone’s front veranda who has a table set up with trinkets and wood carving.
The pressure to buy something is put on us is really uncomfortable, so I felt obligated too of course buy. I ended up buying a couple of wooden things for fj$35 that would have been approx fj$25 in Nadi.
The chief then says thanks for coming hope you enjoyed your time here bye.
We then head to the local school and told by the driver to just get out and go into the office.
We had to wait as there were 3 other people in there on a tour so not enough room.
When they left we went in and were greeted by the head-mistress.
She was very pleasant and told us all about the school and the history which was very interesting.
We then had a tour of the school that consisted of walking up the outside of the building about 100 meters, turned around went back to the office told about the donation box for the children’s end of year Christmas party asked to sign the visitors book and was then told thank you very much for coming to visit blah blah blah and bye.
Our drive/guide was sitting in the car waiting for us.
Now please don’t get me wrong here. We did enjoy our experience BUT....
The whole tour took 1.5 hour for a price of fj$160 @ 2, then with the donations to the church then the school and the money for the sarongs, buying souvenirs and the Kava
we paid about fj$70++
The experience didn’t feel natural and all felt a bit rushed.
The whole tour we felt pressured to buy or donate something so we were waiting to be asked to hand money over all the time.
The school tour we expected to at least interact with a class to say a quick hello or meet some kids, but that didn’t even happen.
At the end I managed to talk a few kids into having there photo taken which they really loved. This was the only relaxed natural experience we both felt for the whole 1.5 hr tour.
We then headed back to our resort all within an hour and a half.

I’ll start with the positives... it was a great experience to see the village and the local school. We loved the singing and dancing and the lunch was amazing. Such a shame it was at 11 am though as we were still full from the buffet breakfast of our resort and did not eat much. The HUGE negative was that the whole 3 hours felt like it was all about money unfortunately. First of all when I got quoted over messager and I thought I’d go pay online to make it easier (which the company was happy for me to do) there was a $100 difference online. Apparently we got special prices. Maybe because we were the only family doing the tour that day? So obviously I did not pay online and reconfirmed to make sure what we were quoted we will be paying on the day. Then when you arrive at the village you have no choice but to purchase a sarong @ $10 per person. I think it should be mentioned into the quote as you’re forced to buy it. No asking. And 3 times while they’re explaining what we were going to do they mentioned about us having to go pay for the sarong before we could do anything else. Then there’s souvenirs and donations for the school and tips for the singer and dancers and the driver hanging around expecting a tip at the end (having only driven us 7 kms 1 way and by then we had run out of cash). So in the end you end up paying $110 ++ for all of it. It just didn’t feel natural and just felt like everything was done to get money. After every little experience we had, there was something to buy or to pay for. And of course you feel obligated. It ruined the experience a bit unfortunately.
