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 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.

"And then there is the most dangerous risk of all the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later." - Randy Komisar
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 doing activities you might have missed yesterday. If you’re staying on Nananu-i-Ra Island, hit one of the hikes in the morning for epic views of the mainland and the Nakauvadra Ranges.
There’s also fantastic snorkelling available just outside McDonald’s Nananu Beach Cottages where there is a marine reserve.
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 consider treating yourself to a dolphin or snorkelling cruise to 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. We also recommend you immerse yourself in culture at Arts Village.
Optional activities:
Upper Navua River Rafting ($303 per person)
Experience the thrill of navigating the Upper Navua River, where exhilarating rapids and scenic gorges await. This adventure takes you through lush rainforest and dramatic landscapes, offering a mix of excitement and breathtaking natural beauty.
Zipline at Pacific Harbour ($245 per peson)
Glide over eight giant zip lines high above the forest and Wainadoi River valley, with nearly 2km of thrilling rides and stunning views. Experience Fiji’s unique flora, fauna, and local culture with our English-speaking guides. The tour operates in most weather conditions, except severe storms, and we’ll reschedule if necessary. Enjoy the adventure, even with a bit of ‘liquid sunshine’!
Today includes a beautiful coastal drive through Fiji’s popular Coral Coast! Here, you have 80km/50miles 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.
Set sail on a stunning sunset cruise with a delicious dinner, captivating cultural show, and convenient transfers included. Enjoy a picturesque evening as you cruise the sparkling waters, savor a gourmet meal, and immerse yourself in traditional Fijian music and dance. This all-inclusive experience offers a perfect blend of relaxation, cultural enrichment, and breathtaking views, ensuring an unforgettable evening on the water.
Optional activity:
Sigatoka River Safari ($277 per person)
Embark on an exhilarating half-day adventure aboard custom-built jet boats, navigating the stunning Sigatoka River. This unique eco-cultural tour takes you to traditional Fijian villages, where you'll gain insight into local life and customs. Experience the rich heritage and natural beauty of Fiji, all while enjoying a thrilling and scenic boat ride.
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!
