An 8-hour guided 4WD safari through the Sabeto Valley: a chiefly village welcome, 2,000 orchid varieties, ranch country, island artisans and a soak in natural hot spring mud pools.
The Sabeto Safari Tour is a full-day 4WD safari from Nadi, Fiji that packs five separate experiences into roughly eight hours. Guests travel in open 4WD safari coaches with experienced local guides through the scenic Sabeto Valley, combining highland mountain scenery with living Fijian culture and heritage. It starts from FJ$270 per adult, runs daily (village visit excluded on Sundays), and finishes at the Sabeto hot spring mud pools.
Each stop is short enough to keep the day moving and long enough to feel real.
Visit Koroiaca, the chiefly village of Sabeto and traditional home of the Tui (Chief) of Sabeto. Koroiaca — “Arthur’s village” — is named after Sir Arthur Gordon, Fiji’s first Governor General in the 1870s. Note: no village visits on Sundays.
Home to more than 2,000 varieties of orchids at the base of the Sleeping Giant mountain, with boardwalks, lily ponds and lush tropical vegetation.
An expansive countryside ranch in the Sabeto valley, where the untouched hinterland scenery and ranch life turn a stopover into the day’s quiet highlight.
See the craftsmanship of women artisans from remote Fijian communities, and the unseen dedication woven into every piece they make. Bring extra cash if you plan to buy.
One of Fiji’s hidden jewels: a natural therapeutic spa at the base of the Sleeping Giant mountain, long believed to have cleansing and healing properties.
The Sabeto Safari Tour is an 8-hour 4WD day tour in the Sabeto Valley near Nadi, Fiji. It combines five experiences in one day: a welcome at the chiefly village of Koroiaca, the Garden of the Sleeping Giant orchid gardens, Aviva Ranch, the Rise Beyond the Reef artisan initiative, and a soak in the Sabeto hot spring mud pools.
Prices start from FJ$270.00 per adult. Children aged 0–2 travel free and children aged 3–11 pay a child rate.
The full-day tour runs about 8 hours and operates in the Sabeto Valley, roughly 20 minutes from Nadi International Airport and the Denarau and Wailoaloa hotel areas. A shorter half-day option is also offered.
Bring a water bottle, sunglasses or a hat, comfortable walking shoes, swimwear and a beach towel for the mud pools, sunscreen, a camera, and extra cash for artisan purchases.
The safari operates on Sundays, but the village component is not included — Koroiaca village visits do not run on Sundays out of respect for the community's day of worship.
Cancellations made within 24 hours of departure, or no-shows, incur a 100% cancellation fee. Cancel earlier than 24 hours to avoid charges.
Yes. The Sabeto hot spring mud pools are shallow, geothermally warm and supervised, and are one of the most popular stops in western Viti Levu. Visitors coat themselves in mineral mud, let it dry, then rinse in the hot pools — remove jewellery and avoid wearing light-coloured swimwear.
