Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Let’s get to know Nadi! This Nadi walking tour will give you a taste for a day in the life of the locals, taking you past the small shops, into the public market, and giving you the chance to interact with the Fijian people all around you.
First up, we’ll get to know the city better with a wander through Nadi town and past the Hindu temple that’s a popular site for tourists. But from there, we’re escaping the tourist route and digging into local life — and what better place to experience daily life than at the local market, right?
We’ll head to the public market and join the hustle and bustle as locals shop for vegetables, seasonal local fruits, fresh seafood, and river mussels. Learn about the kava sessions that happen in the market, and visit a popular bread shop for their morning cream buns. Explore small cafés owned by local Chinese families that open in the early hours of the morning and are a hot spot for grabbing a tea and hearty breakfast.
Straight after the market, we’ll head over to a popular snack corner (locals call it a bean cart), where you can try some fresh peas and Indian sweets. These snacks are a part of many young Fijians’ lives as they’re growing up — the bean cart is a popular pit stop for students before they board their bus home. There are many bean carts with similar sweets sold, but they all have different methods for cooking them — and locals each have their own favourite cart.
Next up, we’ll board a local bus, heading along Wailoaloa Beach and passing by a village and a few urban neighbourhoods. Forget the typical tourist bus with closed windows and wifi — instead, we’re hoping on a traditional bus with open windows, offering up a wide-angle view of life outside, and a breezy ride.
We’ll arrive in the Martintar area, where we’ll stop for a refreshing coconut juice. These juices are sold by unemployed youths trying to make a living for themselves, and you’ll get to talk with some of the coconut vendors and learn what inspired them to start selling coconut juice.
After our walk through Martintar, we’ll stop for lunch and dig into a delicious Fijian meal at a popular locally owned restaurant.
