Nadi Walking Tour
Nadi, Fiji
Why Walk Nadi
Most visitors to Fiji pass through Nadi on their way to island resorts, but the town itself offers a genuinely interesting walking experience. The Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Temple, the largest Hindu temple in the Southern Hemisphere, is a riot of color and an important center for Fiji's Indian community. Nadi's main street is lined with duty-free shops, curry houses, and Indian textile stores. The Nadi Handicraft Market offers a more relaxed shopping experience, while the Garden of the Sleeping Giant showcases an extraordinary collection of tropical orchids originally planted by Raymond Burr. Walking through local villages with a guide offers insight into traditional Fijian life, including kava ceremonies and meke dances.
