Garden of the Sleeping Giant

Tucked at the foot of the Nausori Highlands near Nadi, the Garden of the Sleeping Giant is renowned for its extensive orchid collection, originally founded by actor Raymond Burr. Visitors can wander shaded boardwalks through landscaped lawns and native forest, see thousands of Asian and Fijian orchids, and enjoy lily ponds and quiet picnic spots. A short hill trail offers views across the Sabeto Valley. Facilities include guided tours, restrooms, and a small café. It’s an easy half‑day visit suited to plant lovers, families, and travelers seeking a tranquil break from beach resorts or a stop en route to the Sabeto hot springs.
