Close to Vuda, the Garden of the Sleeping Giant is a peaceful oasis at the foot of Nadi’s Sabeto Mountains where visitors can journey through the dense tropical jungle. The garden was originally purchased by the Hollywood actor Raymond Burr, whose love of the flowers inspired him to grow more than 1,000 new orchid hybrids. Now almost 50 years later, the 20 hectare garden is open for all visitors and residents of Fiji to enjoy.
