Sightseeing And Activities

A Fiji holiday has a smorgasbord of activities and sights for visitors to this wonderful South Pacific Island to enjoy. Fiji itself is beautiful, with its interior including stretches of hilly terrain, dotted with volcanic craters which are great to explore, now that they are (thankfully!) dormant. Indeed, sports such as hiking, trekking and mountain biking are becoming increasingly popular Fiji holiday past times.

Water Sports

If water is more your kind of thing, then Fiji has loads to tempt you. Viti Levu, the main island, has a growing river rafting scene, whilst Pacific Harbour is the place to go for all kinds of water sports including sailing and jet skiing, sport fishing and kayaking.

Of course, all of the many Fiji hotels and resorts that hug the island's glorious coastline also offer a full array of ocean-based activities, from windsurfing and parasailing, to snorkeling and scuba diving. The Coral Coast that runs down the island's left side is an excellent place to do a scuba dive and many tourists spend the first couple of days of their Fiji holidays learning how to use scuba equipment in their hotel pool before heading into the coral gardens that lie just offshore with their instructor.

For those looking for Fiji holidays spent catching waves, there are some fantastic beach and reef breaks, including the famous Cloudbreak and Wilkes Passage. For many experienced surfers, their Fiji travel itinerary just isn't complete until they have tamed the ocean around the Mamanucas.

Cultural Excursions

As soon as your Fiji flight touches down you are aware of the incredibly hospitable Fijian people and the vibrant culture that they are so rightly proud of. For many holidaymakers a tour of a local village, where you get to meet some of the villagers and witness a slice of their day-to-day life is a really fascinating and rewarding experience.

All of the larger Fiji hotels and resorts offer cultural evenings and events as part of their entertainment calendar. Many resorts have themed Fijian buffet nights, complete with singers and dancers from a neighbouring settlement. The Fijians are renowned for their wonderful singing voices and thrilling tribal dances and to spend an evening enjoying such a spectacle is a great way to absorb a little piece of local colour.

Wedding Parties

For some hotel guests, a trip to Fiji is more than a holiday - it's a tropical wedding and honeymoon. For many Australians, the island is made for romance and so a Fiji wedding is a natural progression from the more usual style of vacation. If you feel that this could be the right kind of holiday for you, talk to your Fiji travel agent, or directly with your hotel before you go. Most Fiji hotels offer wedding and honeymoon packages to suit most budgets and tastes.
