Bulacccino Café is known for their great coffee and fresh, organic menu. Now, if you’re in Nadi, you can spend a nourishing few hours relaxing at their beautiful family farm near the Sleeping Giant Mountain. Wander the Organic Path at your own pace or book a guide to walk and talk you through the various traditional crops and medicinal plants, fruiting trees, fish pond and bee hives.
You may even get to try making traditional cassava cakes, harvesting some of the seasonal produce or feeding the resident sheep and ducks. It’s a fun day out for the family, especially if you end it with a packed picnic under the trees.
Savusavu’s tantalising ‘chocolate’ tour is tucked away in a little agroforest behind Daku Resort. From the cocoa pod tasting in the tree groves to setting chocolate at the factory, Kokomana’s ‘tree to bar’ tour demonstrates the entire chocolate making process. Depending on when you visit, you’ll see the fermenting beans, drying racks in the sun or the chocolate maker crafting on the factory floor. The tour ends with a delicious tasting session and the chance to buy some novelty bars to take home with you.

Educational and fun for ages 8yrs and up, you’ll suit up and get your hands dirty with the smoker, handling the hives and studying the bees in their natural environment. Light snacks are included as well as a workshop session rolling your own beeswax candles. It’s a fun activity if you’re holidaying on the Suncoast and you’ll even get to pick up a few goodies at their Little Bee Shop too.
