![]() Fiji Holiday Guide Spend a week on a Fiji Holiday, you’ll unwind; spend a month here and you’ll begin to appreciate the essence of Fiji Time. Compellingly beautiful and gracious in character, a Fiji holiday offers a microcosm of the South Pacific. Most evocative in appearance are its tiny uninhabited coral cayes squatting under a sky too blue to be true, surrounded by gently swaying coconut palms and with pellucid snorkelling lagoons off its white sandy beaches. But equally seductive Fiji holidays are found by exploring the large volcanic islands with lush tropical rainforests, remote traditional villages and vivid coral reefs strewn of its coastlines. Fiji Wedding Guide Fiji Package Holidays Fiji is the largest and most populated of the fifteen South Pacific islands lying between the Tropic of Capricorn and Equator, 3,000km east of Townsville, Australia and 2,000km north of Auckland, New Zealand. The archipelago lies in 1.3 million sq. km. of water and is endowed with 330 tropical islands, two thirds of which remain uninhabited. As the hub of South Pacific tourism, the country attracts over half a million tourists a year, almost half of whom arrive from its Antipodean neighbours on a holiday break in search of sun, sand and the enduring laid back atmosphere. Of Northern Hemisphere travellers who arrive, many are backpackers from Europe, some are scuba divers or surfers from North America and the rest are honeymooners seeking an exotic escape in paradise, staying in small boutique resorts and pampered by wonderful Fijian staff with their infectious smiles. Fiji Tourist Information With a year-round tropical climate, a good tourist infrastructure, English as its main language and a phenomenal array of secluded beaches and resorts, travelling in Fiji is easy. Almost everywhere are vibrant coral reefs teeming with fish ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving. Its most charming attraction though is the adventure of exploring - beyond the seductive beach resorts you’ll find remote villages with burly yet fantastically hospitable Fijians living a traditional subsistence lifestyle much the way their ancestors did hundreds of years ago. Sightseeing & Tours Its main drawback is its isolation, raising the cost of living to that of Australia and New Zealand from where much is imported. Recently, its politically volatility has hampered economic growth, and tourism, especially hard hit after the four coups over the past twenty years, has struggled to reach its optimistic goals of expansion. It is none-the-less, a very peaceful environment and in the most part a very safe destination to explore. Sports & Activities |
