Fun Adventure & Cultural Tour- Unforgettable! - We had a fabulous ATV tour with Oscar to a remote village and rode on all types of surfaces even rode into the sunset on the beach. It was So Much Fun!!! Oscar even took the time to take our photos during the ride. We were lucky to have a personal tour with Oscar, just my husband and I. The visit and tour of the village was unforgettable. We enjoyed that greatly! I would highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will meet Oscar. So glad we did this instead of waiting in the hotel all afternoon.

An experience I will not forget any time soon. Special. - My wife & I have done ATV tours before. We chose to do the cultural tour with 'Go Dirty'. A little less mud pool & adventure perhaps but if you want to experience the 'real Fiji', this might just be the tour to take. We are in our mid to late fifties but had no problem with the bikes, dust, traffic through Nadi & so on, we expected some dirt & dust. Some roads are rough but the bikes are comfortable enough & more than ok handling them. Our guide Oscar was excellent & is well known to the (Yavuna) villagers & they accept him like family. With his assistance we were invited into a home, held an informal Kava ceremony, a walk through key parts of the village with Emay (not sure of the spelling), she was full of information & obviously highly respected in the village. It was a public holiday (Monday) so no school but Mondays are also typically a designated tidy up the village day so villagers were out sweeping, cutting the grass etc with whatever resources they have. The younger kids were enjoying themselves at the swimming hole & the older kids were out gathering firewood & the likes. Back to the home to conclude with more Kava, conversation & information about the village generally. These are special people & at the appropriate time, (guided by Oscar) we offered colouring in books & pencils for the kids & a donation to help them build their new church. Of course, all of this is optional & certainly not expected I feel. The existing church is quite old & only seats maybe 100 max. For a village that has grown over the years with apparently around 350 devout christians that conduct regular services where many have to sit outside on the grass (there are speakers hanging out windows) the offer was well received. I assume there is zero funding from government for this, so all monies are generated from within the village itself through their hard work selling some produce at market, kava sales or through occasional donations from tourists like ourselves. We were treated like family & according to Emay & her family, any return trip to the village that we might do, we will be welcomed with open arms as we are now 'family'. In fact, we've decided we'd like to go back in a couple of years & see how they're getting on with their church building & other village projects. In summary, an excellent activity. Perhaps the cultural tour is not on everyone's list but if you value family & would like to see the way the village Fijians go about this every day, their survival & their lives, I recommend you consider this tour. I would happily go again with 'Go Dirty' tours & 'Oscar' if he was available.

Amazing day with a great guide! - Yesterday was our last day in Fiji. Our tour guide Osacr took my husband and I out to a remote village near Nadi. We had an absolutely amazing day. The Quad biking was easy, so much fun and Oscar stopped at some beautiful spots so we could take photos. Our time at the village was priceless, a truly beautiful experience we will never forget. Huge thanks to Oscar for making this day so easy and enjoyable. We are really grateful to have had this opportunity and to have had such a great guide.

Great ride - I ended up doing the mountain adventure rather than the village and school - and I am so glad I did!! It was exhilarating and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I really appreciated that the quad had power steering, because it was a big brute and I would have struggled without it. That’s another tick off my bucket list!!

Cultural tour - The best day ever! The whole tour was amazing right from the start! So much fun riding through Nadi town and then up over the hills and down to the village , stopping along the way to take photos of the views! Beautiful! We headed to the village for a welcoming cava ceremony! You have to try kava!!! It was school holidays, so there were lots of children in the village. We got to hang with them at the river and had a village tour! Such beautiful, friendly, hospitable people! During the ride back there was another person on the trip who had trouble with the quad bike-the guides didn’t panic and controlled the situation perfectly. Thanks for a fun & fantastic day!

Day trip to the villages - We self drove to the location arriving at least 20 minutes early. They were testing all the quads making sure they were safe. We went inside met with our tour guide and were fitted for helmets and other safety equipment. There are several insurance options we picked the $30 fjd non refundable option that covers pretty much anything. We hadn’t been on quads in awhile they had us drive around to make sure that we were familiar with them they were quite thorough. The quads are automatic and very easy to operate. You drive through the city and then up into the hills. We felt safe the entire trip never rushed in any way. The guide looked back often and stopped many times for pictures and water breaks. We were welcomed into the village by lots of kids tons of smiles. We did a Kava ceremony and were shown around the village for awhile. Pretty cool everyone friendly. We left the village and headed back a different way winding up on a beach with lots of local fishermen. On the way back our guide took our phones and videoed us riding. We headed back they have showers you may need. We were quite dusty and a little bit of rain fell. They gave us sandwiches and soda or water. Totally great trip lasted around 5 hours.
