Fabulous thing to do 😎😎😎
2025-05-07
Fantastic thing to do for most of the day. Very professional from pick up until drop off. Great family business. The food that we also helped with was absolutely delicious. Incredibly friendly people. Can highly recommend the whole experience. Completely different to the normal touristy thing.
Lovo Love
2025-04-19
Sam and his Fam (ily) will wrap you in hospitality, laughs and a deep understanding of the traditional Fijian method of cooking – lovo. The day includes a side-trip to the local markets to check out the freshest of local ingredients, and then back to see how you’ve gone on preparing the food and setting the fire. A must do in Nadi.
Excellent Cultural Experience
2025-03-11
We chose this cultural food experience because the reviews were all 5 stars. We wanted an authentic and unique experience… and that’s exactly what we got plus more. We had a really fun time with Sam, Rocky, Joy, and John and we learned so much about making Lovo and the Fijian culture. I highly recommend this experience for families too, my kids (6 and 9 years old) had a wonderful time participating in making the Lovo and even making crafts. The family is very hospitable and attentive. The covered patio was covered and very comfortable. We also made a quick stop by the market which was very nice, Sam showed us around and we were able to purchase some local fruit and spices. And of course the grand finale, trying the food we cooked together… was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of it. If you’re wondering if you should book this tour, stop wondering and do it! You won’t regret it.
