Let’s Plan Our Holiday

Fiji, an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean, consists of over 300 islands of which about a 100 are permanently inhabited. The two largest islands are Viti Levu (capital Suva) and Vanua Levu. Other more important islands are: Taveuni, Kadavu, Ovalau, Rotuma and Beachcomber Island. Towns like Suva and Levuka (first capital, Ovalau Island) show the mixture of the colonial and modern architecture. The local colourful markets can not be missed. Nadi (Viti Levu) is the 3rd largest city, and although the town is not particularly interesting, this would be the perfect starting point to organise some of your activities during your stay (golf, diving, rafting, jet-boat …). Plan a trip to the Lau Group or the Mamanuca Group (groups of islets), as your favourite diving, snorkelling spot or just as a daytrip to the reefs and colourful fish that surround these islets. If you are a hiker, you may want to explore Nausori Highlands with a stop in the traditional town of Navala.

From Suva you could easily arrange a visit to Colo-i-Suva Forest Park or the Koroyanitu National Heritage Park (make the climb to the summit of Castle Rock, to get magnificent scenic views over Mamanucas and Yasawas). At the Island of Taveuni you can visit Bouma National Heritage Park, where you can explore the rainforest and swim in the natural pools of the three Tavoro Waterfalls. Also visit: Nananu-i-Ra Island, Sigatoka Sand Dunes, Vanua Levu Island.
