I really enjoyed garden of the sleeping giant, we took a nice leisurely stroll around the park (perhaps 1 1/2 hrs max). It was so quiet and pretty. The orchids were stunning. Very enjoyable way to pass a few hours.

we went for a drive here for a day. Beautiful landscape and nice to get to nature. we did a little bit of fishing and swimming. it was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and see the real Fiji.

Do this one before the mud pools which is only a few minutes drive away. You are taken on a beautiful walk through countless Orchids, native flowers, trees and bamboo, across ponds with fountains by your own guide who will tell you everything you want to know about the gardens and their origin.

Must see when visiting Fiji.What a wonderful experience to visit the gardens to see the orchids and all the other wonderful plants.The walk up into the rain forest was so good.Then once you get back to the office enjoy the fruit cocktail that you are given.

Fabulous setting with fantastic views of the valley. Orchids and other exotic flowers and plants are a must see, simply magical. Free glass of freshly squeezed juice was an added unexpected bonus! Not too big so excellent for young ones to explore

This is a pleasant visit away from the beaches. At a cost of F$16 was good value and relaxing. The road was a bit rough and we had to keep our eyes open to spot it. We went onto to the Sabeto Mud Pools (same road) which are also worth a visit. They are both pleasant local attraction.

The garden is beautiful with lots of flowers and tropical trees. Nice quick walk (around 30 min).
But well... there is nothing else to do. You have to book a tour or get a taxi (50F$ return) and pay the entry. I find it a bit expensive if you only want to visit the garden. We chose to go also...
