We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price and/or value by a minimum of 15%. Conditions.
We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price or value by a minimum of 15% ("price-beat") on the following conditions:
Note: By requesting a price-beat you are under no obligation to place a booking with us or proceed with the final travel package as the case may be. A non-refundable deposit is required in the case of a tour/travel package price-beat (see below).
The following terms and conditions apply to travel plans and accommodation quotes requested from and supplied by Travel Directions Pty. Ltd. trading as Global Escapes Travel, Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club (Australian Escapes) and Kiwi Escapes (the company) and are subject to change without notice. These conditions are to be read in conjunction with our standard booking conditions and conditions applicable to Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership as defined in website FAQs.
There are two main scenarios:
(1) You request a price-beat on a specific property. Our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions, provided we have access to be able to book the accommodation through our normal supplier channels.
If we do not have access to member rates that property we will offer an alternative that is of the same or higher standard, as per our hotel rating system and that meets the stated requirements, subject to availability, and subject to the following:
(2) We propose a property with member pricing: If the "you pay" price we submit is already discounted using GCash travel credits and the lowest available price at the time it was submitted, it does not qualify. Otherwise our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions.
A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the applicable objective is achieved.
Inclusions in travel and tour packages assembled by competitor travel agents, tour companies, wholesalers, online travel promoters ("competitors") will all be different in some way. Packages will typically vary by inclusions, validity, suppliers, component type, standard, terms and conditions, travel date, etc ("package components").
Our objective in this type of price-beat situation is to assemble a package containing similar and/or higher value package components to that which you present to us. We guarantee to offer at least 15% more total value (through added value) or a price that is 15% lower than the competitor quote ("successful price-beat") subject to the following:
A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the above objective is achieved.
The price-beat must be requested before you place a booking with any other travel agent, online booking agent or property direct in relation to the subject accommodation or package.
A price-beat may be requested by providing clear, written evidence of the competitor quote as well as your requirements to an employee of the company who performs a reservations or travel consultant role ("company contact") as follows:
A competitor quote presented under this guarantee must be genuine (not contrived) and must be a final, fixed price, backed by verifiable evidence. A competitor quote that we determine is not genuine or final is excluded. The requested date range(s) for travel/tour commencement as well as for individual package components must be realistic and flexible.
This condition applies to travel/tour packages only. We require up to $900 deposit per person (amount depending on package complexity) as a guarantee that you will proceed with the travel plan after we are successful with the price/value beat. This requirement exists because of the amount of travel consultant time required to price according to a competitor quote.
Your Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership must be Gold level or above and active and paid up at the time of requesting the price beat.

Spend 8 days traversing Viti Levu and immersing yourself in culture and spectacular scenery. This Fiji itinerary starts in Nadi, taking you along some of Viti Levu’s most stunning coastline, to Rakiraki, before taking you South to Fiji's capital city and along the Coral Coast. Along the way, visit many small villages and get to know the locals as you relax in paradise.
"The most beautiful in the world is, of course, the world itself." - Wallace Stevens
Welcome to Viti Levu, Fiji! Once you have gone through the airport arrival process, picked up your rental car, it’s time to explore one of Fiji’s largest cities. If you’re intrigued by the culture of a Fiji city, head into town where you can mingle with the locals at the markets, check out the vibrant Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple and indulge in the city’s eateries.
Alternatively, escape to nature immediately by taking the Nadi back roads to the Sabeto Valley, home to hot pools and the Garden of the Sleeping Giant. Your hire car, paired with your Lonely Planet guide, will take you through some amazing destinations - don’t forget your camera!
Today you drive through the spectacular coastal scenery of the Suncoast, famous for having the longest sunshine hours in Fiji.There are plenty of sights to see along the way between the Church of the Black Christ and the Tomb of Udre Udre - the tomb of a once feared cannibal.
We recommend you take a detour to Navala Village, a traditional 200-year-old village deep in the mountain landscape of Viti Levu. In the last afternoon, check-in to your accommodation and enjoy a traditional lova dinner. Depending on availability, your accommodation may be on nearby Nananu-i-Ra Island.
Spend some more time relaxing in Rakiraki/Suncoast doing activities you might have missed yesterday. We suggest exploring the awe-inspiring Sigatoka River, the longest river on Viti Levu. It meanders from the hills of the Navosa Province to the iconic sand dunes of Kulukulu on the renowned Coral Coast. Embark on a scenic river cruise followed by an exhilarating jet-boating adventure. Along the way, enjoy village stopovers for an immersive cultural experience.
Optional activity: Sigatoka River Safari $277pp
Get back on the road with a scenic drive inland on Viti Levu passing through small villages. Along the way, take a detour to Takalana Bay Retreat and watch the dolphins at Moon Reef.
At Wailotua Village (the westernmost village of the two with the same name), ask one of the villagers if you can have a guide to see the Wailotua Snake God Cave - you won’t regret it and it will only cost a couple of bucks! Your trip today ends in Suva, Fiji’s capital city, where you’ll want to save some time to check out the Fiji Museum and enjoy some food and drink.
A short drive away from Fiji’s administrative capital is Fiji’s adventure capital, the Pacific Harbour. The town is famous for its adrenaline activities, including white water rafting, shark dives, jet boating, ziplining and more.
Experience the thrill of gliding through treetops, soaking in breathtaking vistas of the Wainadoi River Valley on our exhilarating half-day zipline adventure. Or, embark on an unforgettable journey through the remarkable highlands of Viti Levu, navigating the unique Upper Navua River canyon. Discover lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and thrilling rapids on this unforgettable excursion into paradise.
Optional activity: Half Day Fiji Zip-Line $198pp
Optional activity: River Rafting $303pp
Today includes a beautiful coastal drive through Fiji’s popular Coral Coast! Here, you have 80km of bays and beaches to explore along the Queens Road.
The Coral Coast has a great mix of tourist resorts, where activities are easy to organise, as well as Fijian villages and towns so you are never too far from experiencing the real Fiji.
You’ll be glad to spend more time on the Coral Coast, if not for the idyllic beaches then for the gastronomical experiences. One of which is an optional cultural cruise where you’ll also be able to sample a traditional “lovo” feast, which is where food is wrapped in banana leaves and slow-cooked in an earth oven, as well as experience a live fire dance.2
Embark on this Sunset Cruise, Dinner & Show for an evening that you won’t quickly forget! Learn about Fijian culture, witness exhilarating dances and be captivated from start to finish.
Either drive to the Nadi Airport where you can return your rental car. At the airport, you’ll be able to do some last-minute souvenir shopping, sit down with a meal and hop on a plane to your next destination!
