Fiji spans over 300 islands in the South Pacific, most visitors basing themselves on Viti Levu or one of the smaller resort islands for classic turquoise water, coral reefs, and a famously warm local welcome.

Why Visit Fiji

Fiji offers some of the South Pacific’s most accessible overwater bungalow resorts and coral reef snorkeling, along with a genuinely warm, welcoming culture that consistently ranks among travelers’ favorite aspects of a visit.

Top Things To Do in Fiji

  • Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands – island-hopping boat trips to some of Fiji’s most photogenic beaches and reefs
  • Snorkeling and diving – Fiji’s soft coral reefs are considered among the best in the world for underwater visibility and color
  • Sigatoka Sand Dunes – New Zealand-scale dunes on Viti Levu, a change of pace from beach time
  • Kava ceremony – a traditional welcome ceremony offered at many villages and resorts, a genuine cultural experience
