Surfing, snorkelling and hiking are just a few of the many pursuits visitors can enjoy in abundance in Fiji, along with plenty of fascinating cultural experiences that cannot be found outside of its amazing shores.
What’s more, its almost year-round perfect temperatures mean that there’s rarely a bad time to visit.

- Kadavu – this secluded island is a little more difficult to reach, but it’s definitely worthwhile because it remains relatively untouched and a strikingly beautiful place to relax, or go searching for sea creatures, with the Great Astrolabe Reef, the fourth-largest barrier reef in the world found just off the island
- Taveuni – Fiji’s amazing wildlife isn’t all found under the sea, with Taveuni, or the Garden Island, home to some stunning species of bird, along with some picturesque waterfalls and beautiful hiking trails
- Viti Levu – the biggest island in Fiji, also known as “the mainland”, it’s the easiest island to access but still has plenty of beautiful beaches and resorts for visitors and is also a great place for cultural experiences
- The Yasawas – a short ferry ride from Viti Levu will take you to this thin chain of stunning islands, where you can snorkel with reef sharks, sample local food and drink and, of course, make the most of the pristine beaches

What are the top five local dishes to try?
- Goat curry – from Fiji’s Indo-Fijian community, this dish is hugely popular throughout the archipelago
- Fish Suruwa – another offering from the Indo-Fijian community, this dish contains white fish, onions, tomatoes, coconut milk, chillis and spices and is served alongside rice
- Kokoda – often referred to as a Fijian ceviche, the main difference with this dish and its South American counterpart is the introduction of coconut milk, which makes it creamy and rich
- Rourou – a dish made of taro leaves, stuffed with coconut, fish, veggies and spices, often steamed on banana leaves
- Sapasui – another multi-cultural dish, this one is a lot like a Chinese chow mein, consisting of meat and vegetables stir-fried with noodles in a sauce made with soy, ginger and garlic
