Located about half and hour from Nadi, The Garden of Sleeping Giant is a beautiful orchid range started in 1977 by the late Raymond Burr, star of Perry Mason and Ironside.
Originally designed to house Burr's private collection of tropical orchids, the gardens have developed into a popular attraction after years of flourishing. Raymond Burr loved these orchids just as much as he loved Fiji.
The gardens showcase more than two thousand different kinds of orchids, covering 20 hectares. For a minimal entry fee , you can wander through the lush and fertile plantation to your heart's content. Right next door is Raymond Burr's holiday shack, which is also open to visitors.
The shack still contains a few items that belonged to the superstar, including photographs, his favourite chair and even his walking cane.
