Was a great cultural experience, loved the dancing and the tour. Beautiful village. While the Lovo dinner was great, I definitely recommend doing this tour on your last night in Fiji and only if you have a short flight home after. Let’s just say the lovo bbq does not digest and leave the body well and you will probably have stomach pains for next few days and on guard for every fart that passes. never trust a fart after eating the lovo. Love the fire dance.
I was picked up and dropped off at the hotel which was convenient. Travelers should wear long sleeves and pants (no need to dress up) for bug protection or lots of bug spray, which was provided on tables. Each stop on the tour gave a quick overview of pottery, religion, weaving, familiy structure, etc. The fire dancing was the highlight! An extra 10 in cash or 10.50 by credit card was demanded for a fuel surcharge. Yes, fuel prices are higher in this economy, but it felt very uncomfortable to be forced to turn over my credit card on the spot when I had prepaid online for the activity months prior. Since this is located out in a field, I felt I had no choice since I wanted a ride back.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found the hotel transfers convenient and enjoyed the cultural tour, especially the fire dancing performance. We also appreciate your comments regarding the fuel surcharge. Due to the recent increase in fuel prices, a fuel surcharge applies only to guests using our shuttle transfer service. Please note that this charge was advised by email or message from viator prior to your visit, and we are sorry if this may have caused any inconvenience or discomfort on the day. Thank you again for your feedback. We value your comments and appreciate your visit. Vinaka vakalevu.

On time pick up. Great entertainment. Good food.. Drinks could have been colder. Wasn’t thrilled about have to pay extra 10 Fijian on the night each for fuel.

The hotel pick-up was sensibly scheduled to avoid us having to spend too much time sitting in the bus. All the staff at the Cultural Village were very welcoming, and especially the lady who was guiding us around the different stations at the village was particularly enthusiastic and tried her best to build on the at times less than enthusiastic energy that we gave back to her. The performances were great too. Aside from the breathtakingfire dances, I also enjoyed hearing the close harmonies of the local songs that they sang and danced to. The audience (myself included) were not particularly enthusiastic to engage in the audience participation segment, but the performers made the best of the situation. There was a wide spread of food that was served, and at least for the day i was there, when they were only at around half capacity, there was more than enough food for everyone. Do come prepared for the inevitable mosquitoes, but they do give you repellent for those. Also, you might want to watch out not to accidentally step on a cane toad, as while we were there several of them were crawling across the field between the main stage and the are where they do the lovo. But that shouldn't stop you from signing up for this tour. The staff all deserve a good tip for their efforts.
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your evening with us and that the hotel pickup timing worked well for you. It is especially rewarding to know that our team made you feel welcome and that your village guide's enthusiasm and passion for sharing Fijian culture left a positive impression. We're pleased that you enjoyed the performances, from the traditional songs and harmonies to the fire dancing finale. Our performers always strive to create an engaging and memorable experience, and they will be encouraged by your kind words. It's also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the variety of food on offer and found the evening well organized. Thank you for mentioning the mosquito repellent and the occasional cane toad visitors—both are part of the authentic tropical Fiji experience! Most importantly, we truly appreciate your recognition of our staff's hard work and dedication. Your generous comments mean a great deal to the entire team. Thank you again for recommending our tour. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable cultural experience in the future. Vinaka vakalevu!

Genuine cultural tour, with added humour to keep the stories Interesting. Get involved to have an immersive experience. Join the dancing, and don't be shy about getting on stage with them! Food was very good. Take some cash for a donation. Drinks not included, but the kava ceremony is.
