Fiji

Fiji, a country in the South Pacific, is an archipelago of more than 300 islands. It's famed for rugged landscapes, palm-lined beaches and coral reefs with clear lagoons. Its major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, contain most of the population. Viti Levu is home to the capital, Suva, a port city with British colonial architecture. The Fiji Museum, in the Victorian-era Thurston Gardens, has ethnographic exhibits.An ideal visit to Fiji requires 4 - 6 nights. Fiji can be combined with Hong Kong, Australia or New Zealand.


Introduction

Introduction

The Fijian archipelago actually contains some 300 separate islands, many of which are little more than tiny uninhabited rocks, jutting out of the ocean. Most visitors come to the largest island, Viti Levu, which contains the towns and resorts of Suva (the capital) and the resort town of Nadi. Also on Suva you’ll find the most established attractions, from Botanic Gardens to nightclubs. Only 100km in width, the whole island is available for exploration to anyone staying here.

Fiji is one of the world’s best snorkelling and dive sites, with coral reefs close-by literally teeming with life. The tiny colourful tropical fish that flicker in and out of the reefs form a contrast with the larger creatures who reside in the surrounding ocean: sharks, turtles and huge moray eels can all be seen in these waters.

There are plenty of scenic spots that cater to everyone, even those who just happen to chance along. Everywhere you go you’ll find fabulous beaches, clear blue water, and best of all the Fijian people. The Fijians will soon drum into you, rushing around is not part of the island experience. There might be plenty to explore, but there’s plenty of time in the world as well. Spending it here certainly isn’t wasting it.

Weather

Fiji enjoys an extremely pleasant tropical climate, typical of the South Seas.

Typhoons and storms of varying degrees of severity hit the islands annually from Dec-Apr. It isn’t the best time to visit. Rainfall is high at this time of year, and heavy showers occur every afternoon. Temperatures are continually in the 30s.

Immediately following the rainy season is the high season for tourism. From around May to October the climate is cooler and drier, although you can still expect the occasional storm or cloudburst of rain. However, quite often these are welcome and provide a spectacular backdrop for the islands’ lush natural scenery.

The cool winter begins in July and lasts through to September with temperatures hovering around the 20°C. From October the temperatures begin to rise again to the comfortable mid 20s.
