Let Us Help You
What to See in Fiji
Is it the intoxicating sun, the blissfully warm weather or the host of fun
and adventurous activities on offer throughout Fiji that keeps us coming
back? Beyond the cabana and swim-up cocktail bar are plenty of exciting and
enriching must dos.
Sigatoka Sand Dunes
Easily accessible from the main highway, these dunes present a significant
cultural and natural heritage and have been considered for UNESCO listing.
Take a two hour walk and visit the old archaeological sites to see ancient
lapita artefacts or go bird watching in the park's pockets of native forest.
Garden of the Sleeping Giant
A huge hill inland from Nadi resembles a big bloke having a lie down. In the
shadow of the snoozing monster is a beautifully maintained botanic garden
once owned by the late Hollywood star, Raymond Burr. Browse 2000 varieties of
magnificent Asian orchids and Cattleya hybrids. Delightful.
Fire walking on Beqa Island
Anyone who’s seen this spectacular show comes away wondering if they’ve
just witnessed something supernatural. Legend says 500 years ago, a magical
eel exchanged its life for the gift of firewalking with the men of Beqa
Island. Now these heroic warriors can walk unaffected on red hot coals.
Kava ceremonies
One of the signature experiences in Fiji is the solemn kava, or yaqona
ceremony. Even though it has been made tourist-friendly in recent times,
Fijians still revere the occasion and visitors should respond respectfully.
In the traditional village of Nukubalavu on Vanua Levu, visitors can partake
in the distinctly flavoured beverage.
Discovering pearls in SavuSavu
South Pacific pearls come in all shapes and sizes and in the town of Savusavu
is the J Hunter Pearls farm where the distinctly coloured gems have created a
unique demand in pearling circles. Guests can tour the oyster beds and farm
then ogle the finished masterpieces in the showroom.
Hike the falls of Taveuni
The island of Taveuni, fittingly dubbed the Garden Island, is a lush,
tropical outpost and one of the most beautiful islands anywhere in the
Pacific with rich organic soil and sprays of vivid foliage everywhere. Be
sure to hike the verdant trails to the famous Tavoro waterfalls at Bouma.
Dive off the Northern Islands
While the crowds swarm around busy Denarau, there’s plenty of peace and
seclusion in the northern region around Vanua Levu. Another pearl at Savusavu
is the acclaimed Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, famous for diving and up-market
families. A resident marine biologist delivers enriching tours.
Find a secluded beach
It’s like trying to count the stars in the sky when conducting a census of
Fiji’s private and secluded beaches. There are beaches all around the main
islands, but it’s the many coral islets that provide true seclusion, like
Monuriki (where Cast Away was filmed), Drawaqa (Barefoot) Island or Nanuya in
the Yasawas.
Sail the Mamanucas
A short distance to the east from the marina at Denarau is the Mamanuca
Group, an ideal playground for cruising yachts and powerboats. Take a
mulit-day cruise with Blue Lagoon or Captain Cook, or a romantic fully rigged
day sail aboard the classic schooner, Seaspray.
Private island by helicopter
If you think Fiji is beautiful on the ground, wait until you sea her from the
air. And there is no better way to experience that than from the cabin of a
helicopter. Choose a simple scenic flight or a fully-catered private island
excursion for the ultimate romantic gesture.
Go golfing
Natadola Bay Golf Course and Denarau Golf Course are two superb golf courses
on the western coast of Fiji both offer Par 72, championship standard holes
for golfers of all levels. Denarau boasts a pick of several resorts including
the Sheraton and Westin, while Natadola is served by nearby InterContinental
Fiji Golf Resort & Spa.
Underwater treasures
Fiji is renowned the world over for spectacular soft corals. While scuba
diving is done all over Fiji, Pacific Harbour is an accessible hub on the
south coast, not far from Suva. Otherwise the expansive reefs in the Yasawa
Islands and sites near Taveuni are popular.
Sharks up-close
Fiji is one of the few places in the world where you can scuba dive with
large adult bull and tiger sharks... sans cage! Ultimate Shark Encounter
takes divers daily to see these predators being hand fed or take a relaxed
snorkel at Kuata Island to see serene reef sharks.
Sea kayak the Navua River
More visitors are enjoying the peace and tranquility of a sea kayak adventure
and the lower Navua River is a great place see the mangrove forests and
coastal scenery around Pacific Harbour. Paddle silently to hear the bird
calls and gentle lapping of the sea.
Raft the Upper Navua
The notion that Fiji is all beaches and palm trees will be quickly dispelled
when you raft the canyons of the remote upper Navua River in Fiji’s seldom
visited and uninhabited interior. It’s excitement and scenic beauty in one
wet, heady mix.
Fish the Mamanucas
When you feel the urge to reel in a fighting game fish, Mamanuca Express
Fishing Charters are on call to whisk you and three friends out from Port
Denarau in search of marlin, mahi mahi or yellowfin tuna. Spend a day or half
day in the bountiful waters of the Mamanucas.
