THE SHORTLIST

A few places worth your time.

01Culture · DAY 1 IDEA

Queens Rd

Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple

This bright and colourful Hindu temple is one of the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere. Carved and built in the Dravidian architectural tradition, the temple is probably the most visible monument in the whole of Nadi. As a mark of respect, knees and shoulders (for both genders) should be covered before entering the temple interior. However, if you arrive at the temple in shorts or sleeveless clothing, the temple will provide you with a dhoti/sarong and shawl to cover yourself. Also, the vegetarian food provided at the canteen is a hidden gem.

Wailoko Rd

Garden of the Sleeping Giant

The garden was founded by Canadian-American Hollywood star Raymond Burr, as a private nursery of tropical orchids. Nowadays, it contains a diverse and beautiful range range of plants with a number of walking paths set up too. Some of the bright and colourful flowers have a stunning, exotic feel to visitors living outside of the tropics. The terrain is hilly and for most of the year the garden is warm and humid so be sure to take a few breaks during your journey.

A note before you go. Start with Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple, then decide whether Wailoaloa Beach deserves a separate visit rather than rushing both. The suggested days are an editable grouping, not a timed tour. Visit allowances exclude transfers, meals and queues; confirm the exact entrance and current visiting arrangements for Garden of the Sleeping Giant before setting off.

BEFORE YOU SET OFF

A more practical kind of plan.

Getting your bearings

Nadi has reliable local buses that let you explore the town and beyond. Just wave to the driver and you will be able to hop on from anywhere along the route. The bus clearly states where it is travelling from and to but you can also confirm with the driver. To get off, just ring the bell and the driver will stop anywhere along the route even if there is no official bus stop nearby. Remember to haggle with the driver before getting in. There are hire cars available within the airport as well as in town.

Build a route that makes sense

Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple and Wailoaloa Beach are about 4.8 km apart in a straight line. Use the route link to compare the actual streets or transport connections before putting both in the same morning; the measurement is not a walking distance or a transfer estimate.
