“Off the grid” - an amazing local cultural experience - Amazing and authentic experience with Lina. Gave us a deep insight into the culture and lives of the local villagers and sugarcane farmers.

Best local tour out there. - What a great private experience. A+++ It was an awesome way to get away from the resort for a bit and see how real Fiji operates. Lina was the most gracious, down to earth and fun host for our trip. The local fruit mart was enjoyable Local school visit was also great. Unfortunately we were there during school holidays. So no opportunity to see the kids on action. But no worry’s. Next was up to the highlands and 1st to the Indian family farm and home where we were able to see how the locals live, farm. And eat. Also had a small bite to eat of some home cooked coconut rice and Roti. (Delicious). Lastly The trip highlight was the visit to the local Fijian Village. Where we were warmly welcomed by the tribe leader and after a village tour we were invited to sit in the porch area for a Kava ceremony and a meal made with all village produce. Such a great 1/2 day trip. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get off the beach for a bit.

The real Fiji experience - Lina and Paul were amazing hosts, we got to experience the real Fiji, first visiting a local market where we learnt about the traditional food of the Fijian people. Then it was on to a local school where our kids were able to interact with the local school kids. An amazing humbling experience for our children. Then onto a local Indian house where we were invited to see how they live on a rural farm and tasted some home mace treats. Finally, topped off with a visit to a Fijian village, meeting the chief of the tribe, tasting kava and a beautiful Fijian lunch.

Great Experience! - You get to experience two cultures with this tour because Fiji is a mixture of Fijians and Indians. You also get to sample both cultures foods and meet many great people along the way. Lina is an excellent storyteller and can answer any questions you may have. I highly recommend.

Off the grid Fiji - The tour was excellent. It exceeded our expectations. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We saw the authentic Fiji. A tour not to miss. Enjoy the experience.

What a great tour in Fiji - off the grid - The tour was a great experience for us. Our tour guide Pauline (Lina) and driver Boni were both terrific. We left our hotel in Denarau at 9am and returned around 3pm in the afternoon after a truly memorable day. The vehicle was a comfortable Toyota van. We started by visiting a local fruit and vegetable market on the outskirts of Nadi. It was great to the the large variety of tropical fruit and vegetables, very well presented and to talk with some of the vendors. A visit to a small primary school some way out of Nadi was next on the agenda. Unfortunately, it was school holidays, but it was most interesting to see inside the classrooms and some of the displays both inside and outside of the classrooms. We then drove for perhaps 40 minutes into the highland along a very basic road (part of the fun) where we visited the home of a Fijian Indian couple who farm a small area of land in the rugged hills - mostly sugar cane. Our hosts who were very welcoming showed us into their home and gave us some snacks. So interesting. We then started to descend from the highlands taking some beautiful photos of the amazing scenery and visited a traditional Fijian village along the way. We spent a couple of hours in the wonderful village and really felt the warmth and hospitality of the Fijian villagers living a very basic lifestyle. A welcoming ceremony with kava was part of visit before an elder escorted us around the entire village. What an experience this was. We were able to meet and talk to many of the villagers - adults and children. Then our hosts provided us with a lunch of Fijian food in their home. Following our village visit were returned to our hotel in Denarau. All day our tour guide Lina provided us with so much detail about Fiji and was ever ready to answer all of our question on the lifestyle of the Fijian people. Her insights into the society and government of Fiji - good and not so good - were enlightening. Boni our driver was terrific. Safe, attentive and well experienced on navigating the roads - parts of which were a bit challenging at times. What a great day we had - a beautiful country and people. And what a great team - Lina and Boni - who made the day for us. I would recommend the tour with Off the Grid.

Great tour! Definitely a must see!!!! - Private Experience of the Authentic Lifestyle of People in Fiji: The trip was awesome! Lina was very helpful and gave us a review of what today was going to be like. We got a hotel pickup, and in about 15-20 minutes we were at the fruit market! The food was fresh and we got some mouth-watering fruit. Lina allowed us to stay for however long we wanted. She let us browse and even gave us some tips on which ones we should buy. Lina knew most of the sellers, and showed us some traditional fruits and vegetables. Then, we had a quick bathroom break then set off to the school. The kids were well behaved, and Lina showed us around. We saw the kids being taught, exams going on and even the canteen. Truly a must-see. After we met the Head Teacher who greeted us warmly. We were able to write in the log book and state our experience. Soon we left and went to the Indians house. She was very nice and showed us around her household then served us some wraps and vegetable. We ate under a tree looking at the scenery around us. There were 3 dogs there. We also viewed some bullocks being lead to the tree to be tied up. Finally, we headed to our last destination. At the village, we had to go up a dirt road and on a bridge with crystal-clear water flowing below. We then went to see the Head Chief who greeted us like an old friend. He showed us the village and its inhabitants then gave us some traditonal Fijian food and some delicious lemonade. We met some nice people and we even got to see the church. Truly an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a traditional Fijian experience behind the scenes, then book this! The tour was very enjoyable. Five stars! Oh, and also Lina, here are some tips: Key words Unique differences More advertising I'll send more soon! Thanks for the wonderful tour! - The Baileys

Unforgettable Cultural Experience with Off The Grid - We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Off The Grid in Fiji, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Our guide, Lina, and driver, Pauli, were incredible — warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the real Fiji with us. The tour was packed with rich, authentic Fijian culture. From visiting a local farming family and exploring a vibrant market, to experiencing life in a village — every stop was meaningful. But the absolute highlight was visiting the school, where we were welcomed with open arms and the brightest, most beautiful smiles. Connecting with the children and teachers was something truly special — a memory we’ll carry forever. Vinaka vaka levu, Off The Grid, for showing us the heart of Fiji!

Lina, our guide, was very... - Lina, our guide, was very friendly and genuine. The highlights was the visit to a lovely Indian couple who shared their home and lifestyle. There we got to taste some beautiful food prepared by our hosts. We then went onto the Fijian villiage. We were welcomed with a Kava ceremony, followed by a tour of the villiage. We then enjoyed a beautiful feast which was prepared entirely from the plants in the garden. They were super friendly and welcoming. Lina was a very competent and safe driver, particularly over very rough terrain. Overall a great tour and highly recommend.
