An unforgettable and heartwarming experience! - This was one of the highlights of our trip to Fiji. The tour gave us a genuine insight into local village life — warm smiles, welcoming people, and a real sense of community. Visiting the school and meeting the children was such a beautiful and humbling moment. Everything was perfectly organized, and our guide made us feel like family from the very beginning. It’s the perfect way to connect with the culture beyond the resorts — highly recommended for anyone visiting Fiji!

Best local tour out there. - What a great private experience. A+++ It was an awesome way to get away from the resort for a bit and see how real Fiji operates. Lina was the most gracious, down to earth and fun host for our trip. The local fruit mart was enjoyable Local school visit was also great. Unfortunately we were there during school holidays. So no opportunity to see the kids on action. But no worry’s. Next was up to the highlands and 1st to the Indian family farm and home where we were able to see how the locals live, farm. And eat. Also had a small bite to eat of some home cooked coconut rice and Roti. (Delicious). Lastly The trip highlight was the visit to the local Fijian Village. Where we were warmly welcomed by the tribe leader and after a village tour we were invited to sit in the porch area for a Kava ceremony and a meal made with all village produce. Such a great 1/2 day trip. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get off the beach for a bit.

The real Fiji experience - Lina and Paul were amazing hosts, we got to experience the real Fiji, first visiting a local market where we learnt about the traditional food of the Fijian people. Then it was on to a local school where our kids were able to interact with the local school kids. An amazing humbling experience for our children. Then onto a local Indian house where we were invited to see how they live on a rural farm and tasted some home mace treats. Finally, topped off with a visit to a Fijian village, meeting the chief of the tribe, tasting kava and a beautiful Fijian lunch.

Great Experience! - You get to experience two cultures with this tour because Fiji is a mixture of Fijians and Indians. You also get to sample both cultures foods and meet many great people along the way. Lina is an excellent storyteller and can answer any questions you may have. I highly recommend.

What a great tour in Fiji - off the grid - The tour was a great experience for us. Our tour guide Pauline (Lina) and driver Boni were both terrific. We left our hotel in Denarau at 9am and returned around 3pm in the afternoon after a truly memorable day. The vehicle was a comfortable Toyota van. We started by visiting a local fruit and vegetable market on the outskirts of Nadi. It was great to the the large variety of tropical fruit and vegetables, very well presented and to talk with some of the vendors. A visit to a small primary school some way out of Nadi was next on the agenda. Unfortunately, it was school holidays, but it was most interesting to see inside the classrooms and some of the displays both inside and outside of the classrooms. We then drove for perhaps 40 minutes into the highland along a very basic road (part of the fun) where we visited the home of a Fijian Indian couple who farm a small area of land in the rugged hills - mostly sugar cane. Our hosts who were very welcoming showed us into their home and gave us some snacks. So interesting. We then started to descend from the highlands taking some beautiful photos of the amazing scenery and visited a traditional Fijian village along the way. We spent a couple of hours in the wonderful village and really felt the warmth and hospitality of the Fijian villagers living a very basic lifestyle. A welcoming ceremony with kava was part of visit before an elder escorted us around the entire village. What an experience this was. We were able to meet and talk to many of the villagers - adults and children. Then our hosts provided us with a lunch of Fijian food in their home. Following our village visit were returned to our hotel in Denarau. All day our tour guide Lina provided us with so much detail about Fiji and was ever ready to answer all of our question on the lifestyle of the Fijian people. Her insights into the society and government of Fiji - good and not so good - were enlightening. Boni our driver was terrific. Safe, attentive and well experienced on navigating the roads - parts of which were a bit challenging at times. What a great day we had - a beautiful country and people. And what a great team - Lina and Boni - who made the day for us. I would recommend the tour with Off the Grid.
