“I was advised that pickup was at 7:25pm. However, bus arrived at 7:15pm and I missed it. The organisers however, did send a taxi to pick me up, which arrived only at 8:10pm, which meant that I missed a reasonable part of the show as it was still a 15min drive there and the show started at 8pm. Cultural Theatre is out in the bush, roadtrip there rather bumpy with many potholes. Seating at theatre very uncomfortable. The entire production was in Fijian, and therefore impossible to follow the story as I don't speak Fijian. It was my understanding that it would have been conducted in English. The only positive…”
Travel from Nadi, Denarau, or the Coral Coast by road and a 30-minute jungle cruise to Robinson Crusoe Island. Expect a kava welcome, earth-oven lovo dinner, sunset, string music, fire walking, and knife dancing. Sam and Samson are among the local hosts connected with the evening.
“On this tour don’t wear nice shoes they will get wet. I wished our family was told this as when you get off the boat into the island and vice a versa you have to step into the ocean. The boat doesn’t completely dock in the sand. Secondly bring water. They do not have cups for water in the island and only have liter bottles of water. The food was mediocre. Talking with the locals after the show they use frozen chicken and stuff in the lovo bc they’re feeding a ton of people so yes it’s understandable but the food is very bland. Eat a little before you go…”
Travel from Nadi by coach and boat to Likuri Island, where you’ll join a welcome ceremony, watch the lovo oven opened, eat a Fijian buffet, and see firewalking, knife dancing, and Pacific cultural performances beside the sea.

“I was not initially expecting much but turned out to be a pleasant surprise and highly recommend it. The tour introduces you to Fijian culture of days past and is quite an immersive experience. Unfortunately the food options for us vegetarians weren't as great as for the rest but it is still alright. The fire dance portion was just splendid. Pretty much everyone in the tour ended up participating in the dance routines and it was just an amazing way to end a night. Must do!”
