Fiji · SABETO MUD POOL AND HOT SPRINGS
Twenty minutes inland from Nadi airport the ground runs hot, and the mud pools are the cheapest good hour in Fiji. These 15 vary on transfers, on whether the orchid gardens or the temple are bolted on, and on how long you get in the water.

“Didn't realise this was a private tour so that was a bit of a surprise. The tour driver was friendly and knowledgeable but it was a bit strange having a personal guide for me as a solo traveller as I was expecting a small group tour (I clearly didn't Read more”

“This was a great way to see parts of Nadi. I turned out to be the only one booked so for a personalised tour! Never driven a quad bike before, but my guide John was great - keeping an eye on me and making sure I was ok. Always felt safe but adventurous. Got plenty of time to look around. With cold drinks to keep me going along the way. I managed to leave my phone at the base and the team were fantastic at getting it back to me. Thoroughly recommend the tour and the company.”

Zip through Fiji’s forests and caves, then relax in volcanic mud pools and hot springs with lunch and Nadi transfers.
“So many zip lines. Ha. It is a bit of a trek to get to the appropriate height for zip lining. You will break a sweat. We missed the chance of them offering to carry our water bottle or phone for the hike up, but noticed after the fact. So make sure to ask or bring a way to carry the items by attaching them to your self. Ziplining with mountain and water views was really cool. As you get comfortable they show you how to do fun tricks while ziplining. They made special meal for vegans. The mud spa was okay. It's convenient that the tour covers both experiences…”

Visit Fiji’s Sabeto mud pools and hot springs for a natural mud wrap, warm baths, scenic drive, and optional Fijian massage.
“The whole experience was ok. Our guide was lovely and took great pics and videos. We expected to walk into an actual mud pool not put our hands into a bucket full of mud. The pool to wash the mud off in is more a pond than a pool. The first hot spring was nice but the second was so hot we couldn’t get it. We then waited longer to be picked up again than the whole experience took. It’s advertised at 2.5hrs but we were done in less than an hour and then waited for an hour and 10mins to be picked up by the driver who was dropping…”

Explore Fiji’s orchid gardens, rainforest lookouts, therapeutic mud pools, and hot springs on a practical half-day tour from Nadi.
“Unfortunately this experience felt quite missold. It is not a tour, it's a driver who takes you to the garden and to the mud pools, and you may have to share the car with someone else (who could be based somewhere far away). We were first in the car with a 9am pick up and ended up having to wait 1h while the driver drove to the airport to pick up the other guests. So we didn't get going to the gardens until 10. The gardens were nice but very, very hot. Don't go in the middle of the day if you're in Fiji in the hot months. The mud…”

Review of Fiji’s Sabeto Tifajek mud pools and hot springs, with practical advice on value, transport, facilities, massage, and family visits.
“Underwhelming. Changing rooms and shower facilities were woeful. The road to access the mudpools is treacherous so, overall, we did not think the experience was worth the journey and hassle it took to get there. The guide made the experience much more enjoyable as he was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the hot springs etc. The pools were a nice temperature, albeit a bit dirty. We did not receive massages but saw the rooms they are provided in as we walked from one pool to another and they left a lot to be desired.”

Every kind of Fiji day, and the pick of each.
