Garden of the Sleeping Giant
Nadi, Fiji
The Garden of the Sleeping Giant is a botanical sanctuary in Nadi, renowned for its extensive collection of orchids and tropical plants established by American actor Raymond Burr in the 1970s. Visitors arrive to find a lush landscape filled with over 2,000 orchid varieties, complemented by winding paths that showcase the vibrant colours and fragrances of Fijian flora.
Plan for a leisurely stroll, as the garden is best enjoyed in the morning when the air is cool and the light accentuates the vivid blooms. Adjacent to the garden is the Sabeto Hot Springs, where you can unwind after a visit among the tranquil surroundings.
