A friendly Fijian welcome and broad smiles await you in this tropical paradise of beautiful beaches, blue lagoons and swaying palm trees. Renowned for stunning sunsets, breathtaking waterfalls, awesome surf, and pristine rainforests, Fiji unsurprisingly draws thousands of visitors to its shores each year. Chief among the attractions has to be the cyan-blue sea. It may look tranquil and majestic, but beneath the surface it's teeming with life. Amid multi-coloured reefs, the intrepid can explore over 1,500 fish species. You'll also find five species of sea turtle, sharks, dolphins and even whales around Fiji. You can't come here without snorkelling or diving at least some of the time. Beyond the sea life, you'll find ample opportunities to go hiking, while birdwatchers love the islands for the abundance of winged species. There are many forests to explore, especially on the island of Kadavu, which is practically roadless, and even more so on the Garden Island of Taveuni. Perhaps above all, though, it's the people that make Fiji. Comprising more than 300 islands, the country is a vibrant melting pot of cultures, where East Indian, Polynesian, Melanesia, Chinese and European converge to form a unique cultural medley. English is widely spoken, which means communication is a breeze. You can also expect locals to give you the warmest welcomes, and don't be surprised if they invite you into their homes. If, somehow, you tire of the beaches and wildlife of the islands, you'll find Suva to be an intriguing cultural hub, with a jumble of colonial and modern architecture. Laid out over lush hills by the sea, the capital is home to half of the country's population and is the biggest city in the South Pacific. If you like to party, Fiji isn't all laid-back, either, with Suva offering up a large dose of irreverent nightlife. Brimming with colourful attractions, awe-inspiring scenery, friendly people and cultural and sporting activities aplenty, Fiji offers something for everyone. From the wanderlust-suffused traveller to the hedonistic sports junkie, this archipelago at the crossroads of the South Pacific is tourist heaven. And, best of all, there's an array of accommodation and activities to suit all tastes and budgets. Update: 20 August 2018 We are currently working on our small group tour programs for: Fiji |
