FIJI

The Republic of Fiji is an island country situated in the Pacific ocean. Consisting of over 300 islands you could have countless vacations here and still have new specks of sand to discover.

With Nadi and Suva being the main cities and gateways to the region, many tour packages focus on these areas to avoid the high transfer costs to the far-flung islands. With paradise beaches on nearly all the islands, you don’t have to stray far to enjoy a fresh coconut on the sand.

“Fiji Time” is more than just a saying here; it’s a way of life. We promise it won’t take long for you to relax into the slower pace here and feel the stress leave your body soon after arrival. With a rich and varied food scene, bustling markets and laughing warm locals at every turn, there indeed is no place on earth quite like Fiji.

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Language

With three official languages, Fijian, English and Fiji Hindi (a local dialect of Hindi), most tourists to the island don’t struggle to communicate although we always recommend learning some of the local words in both Fijian and Fiji Hindi as these are widely spoken tongues.

Cuisine

Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean it’s no wonder much of Fijian cuisine is dedicated to seafood. With coconut, rice and root vegetables also common on menus. Indian and tropical influences come into play on many lists with traditional western dishes becoming more popular in resort locations. We offer a range of different restaurants and menus across our local tour.

Local interaction

The Fiji welcome is one of the warmest you will ever receive with smiles, laughter, occasional song and inquisitive questions commonplace. Throughout our cultural experience day in the local community, you will have the chance to spend in-depth time connecting with new friends. Expect hotel and restaurant employees also to ask friendly, well-meaning questions regularly; it’s all part of the island’s welcoming nature.

Shopping

With buzzing local arts, crafts and fresh food markets available in Nadi town this is a possible side-trip during your leisure time. Some clothes and souvenir stores can also be found here, while within the Marina complex a couple of more tourist-focused outlets can be located.

Best time

Best time to travel: As a tropical destination the weather is mild and pleasant for much of the year. Cyclone season generally runs from November through to April and as such, we limit departures during these dates. From May to September the cooler months arrive (by Fiji standards) but still with temperatures warm enough to swim and sunbathe making this an ideal time to visit the islands.
