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.

Go Dirt In Fiji Cultural Experience to a remote Fijian Village. - We loved our experience yesterday with Go Dirt In Fiji. Be prepared to get dirty!
We had the privilege of visiting a remote Fijian Village and see them going about their daily lives and had a kava ceremony.
Our tour guide was great and made the whole experience amazing for us.
We would highly recommend this trip for
Someone coming to Fiji and seeing how life really is, that it isn’t what you see happening on the beautiful resorts.
This trip is well worth it.

Book it, now. - This was an awesome experience and the staff were professional, knowledgeable and friendly the whole way through. A late booking the night before (thanks to Fish for being super responsive to emails!) allowed us to have a great start to our holiday. Our guide was amazing - I think her name was Betti - and we had a great time checking out the views and seeing a local village. Unfortunately we couldn't visit the school, as schools were closed due to flooding at the time. This did mean the village was alive with children during our visit, which was nice. The tour around the village and the kava ceremony were far better than other tours we experienced - both my wife and I listed this as our favourite experience of our whole trip. Definitely put it on your list if you have the time, and if you don't - cut something else!
Thanks so much Go Dirty team!

The ultimate quad bike and village experience in Fiji! - One of the best experiences we had whilst in Fiji! Promptly picked up from our accommodation on Denarau Island by a friendly driver and taken to the Go Dirty Tours base, we were given the run down on the paperwork and how the bikes work before a quick test bike ride before heading off on our adventure into the hills. If you are confident driving a car on the roads, you'll be more than comfy on the bikes on the roads. Drive on both paved and gravel roads high into the hills where we stopped for some water a shop and a tyre check before reaching Yavuna Village where we had the village waiting for just the two of us for a kava ceremony. Very special and very cool! Had a walk around the village with the village elder and had some great fun with the kids! Great to get out of the resorts and get a feel for the real Fiji. A leisurely ride back into town and down to the beach for a ride along the sands before back to the base right on time for a quick wash down and cruisy drive back to our resort. The bikes were in great shape, the guide John was awesome and we felt safe at all times! Had a blast and this is something I would most certainly come back and do again, both for the fun on the bikes but also to see our friends in the village! Thanks Go Dirty Tours! You guys rock!

Family fun on quads! - Totally awesome!!! Our guide Betty lead us through Nadi and into the country, to visit a village. To meet the villagers and the beautiful children. We watched the children swim in a crystal clear river, after our welcome ceremony. The quad bikes were unreal, we were farewelled and returned to Nadi. All family members shared the opportunity to ride the quads. Vinaka😍
