The island nation of Fiji is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the
world. The archipelago of more than 300 islands houses a rich mosaic of
Melanesian, Polynesian, Micronesian, Indian, Chinese and European traditions
that have made the Fijian culture one of the most unique in all the world.
When asked why they visited Fiji, most travellers will say one word –
beaches. Now while the beaches are, in a word, spectacular, visitors to the
country should not get carried away and spend all their time on the azure waters
as it laps the white sandy shore.
Fiji is a goldmine of natural wonders – nature lovers can trek through the
extinct volcanic craters, get splashed by giant waterfalls, ramble through
rainforests and explore the mysteries of the past in the many archaeological
sites. One such place to do this is the Bouma National Heritage Park. Here,
visitors can enjoy 150 square kilometres of nature wonderland. The Park’s
rainforest and coastal forest offers the perfect backdrop to the three
waterfalls that are spotted throughout the park. Take the Vidawa Rainforest
Trail to visit all these sights or just stop at one to enjoy a dip in the
swimming pool.

Do as much or as little as you please!
More then anything else, Fiji is an exotic destination. It's the
exhilaration of a dolphin arching high into the air beside your boat; the
long gliding swoop of an orange dove through the rainforest; the smiles of
excited children performing in unison to the beat of a hollow log drum.
Our 333 islands can sizzle with excitement or murmur with the quiet calm
of pristine nature. Where else can you swim with huge, harmless manta rays
congregating by the shore, snorkel over giant rainbow gardens of soft coral,
or scuba dive the White Wall and famous Astrolabe Reef. Fiji is where the
Cloud Breaker, the incredible six-metre wave found offshore at Tavarua,
draws surfers from around the world. It is also where you can float in the
calm, quiet waters of a turquoise lagoon at sunset or walk alone through
lush rainforest. It is where the sun shines almost everyday and when it does
rain, people rush outside for a rainbath in the warm, brief downpour of a
tropical shower which ends as quickly as it began. This is where life is
lived for the joy of it all, where rushing is rude, and the name of a new
friend is never forgotten. Fiji is where people wear flowers tucked in their
hair, not to impress visitors, but because they like to.

The Fiji archipelago is at the cross roads of the South Pacific. In the
days of sailing ships it was known as The Cannibal Isles and carefully
avoided by mariners because of its fierce warriors and treacherous waters.
However, in the age of jumbo jets and global travel. Fiji has become the
central hub of the exotic South Pacific. More than 85 flights land at Nadi
on the main island of Viti levu every week. From there it is only a quick
seven minute hop to one of the offshore island resorts, or less than an hour
of flying time to Vanua Levu or Taveuni, the second and third largest
islands, where then outside world is quickly left behind
For those who like to keep their feet on the ground once they arrive, the
big island of Viti Levu offers a wealth of tropical scenery, from rushing
mountain rivers and waterfalls in the depths of the rainforest, to
palm-fringed beaches where time seems to stop. This is where you can fish
from the reef in the morning, picnic at the edge of a waterfall plunging
into a rocky jungle pool at midday and eat native food cooked in an earth
oven in the evening, and then dance to the beat in a swinging discotheque
until long after midnight. Along with it's pristine tropical beauty, Viti
levu offers several large towns and the bustling capital of Suva, a
shopper's paradise and you will never have to travel more than a few hours
to get anywhere on the island.
Fiji Islands is the most
commercial of the South Pacific destinations but it is not overly developed.
There are a great many islands to explore, as well as very traditional villages,
some which see virtually no tourists. There are large family hotels, small
holiday resorts and lots of exclusive retreats, some on private islands. Scuba
diving, surfing, hiking and exploring the culture are some of its main
highlights. Click here for tourist
