Before you board that plane to Fiji, there are a few things you
certainly need to consider. A few tips, a few suggestions and of course, some advice. For starters, shop around before booking
all aspects of your trip. Know what you want to do, where you may want to go and most of all, realize where you are! You do
realize that Fiji is in the South Pacific, yes? West of Hawaii, Tahiti and Tonga, east of Australia, New Zealand and southeast
of the Solomon Islands? Good. We're all going to the same place. You might be surprised to know how many people think
it's in the Caribbean.
Fiji Travel Guides Getting To FijiFiji itself is an island nation made up of an
archipelago of 300-plus island and 500-plus islets. The two largest islands are Viti Levu, in the south, and Vanua Levu, in
the north. If you're planning a vacation, you'll certainly want to consider these two islands for the most economical
form of travel, as Viti Levu possesses the city of Nadi, where you'll find the Nadi International Airport, "The
Gateway to Fiji."
From Nadi, hopping a commuter flight to any of your other potential destinations is as easy
as ticket, take-off and land. Savusavu is a great arrival city on the island of Vanua Levu, and if you're looking for more
space and a true Fijian escape, you should allow your eyes to wander in that direction.
Fiji Travel Guides Choosing
A Place To StayYou'll have more than a few options presented to you if you're looking for hotels and resorts in
Fiji. If you feel you must be in an urban environment, you may very well want to stick around Nadi. Of course there are
beaches nearby offering hotel and resort accommodations, and you'll still have the ability to explore the city during the
day and night.
If your heart desires a true getaway, you'll want to find an option outside of the urban
cityscape, and there are more than a few options to do so. One of the best options is the Koro Sun Resort and Rainforest Spa
located near Savusavu on the island of Vanua Levu. The resort is hidden away into the native rainforests where they spill onto
beach of the Koro Sea and Pacific Ocean.
Fiji Travel Guides Things To Do In FijiWhat do you enjoy? Sand, sun
and surf? Fiji is the perfect place for all three. If you've always wanted to try surfing, you won't find a more
hospitable teacher than a Fijian native.
Chartering boats for deep sea fishing excursions is
another popular activity in Fiji, and if you've always dreamed of catching a big one, be prepared for some massive Wahoo,
Marlin and Sailfish!
Hiking, biking and general exploration are perfect activities throughout the Fijian islands.
All you need are some decent shoes and a heart for discovering something new.
Kayaking, snorkeling and scuba diving are also great activities
to enjoy in the warm, clean waters of Fiji. The resort mentioned earlier, the Koro Sun, is a perfect place to kayak and dive,
being located along Fiji's famed Rainbow Reef, and set on the calm, crystal clear waters of the Koro Lagoon.
Perhaps the best advice about Fiji: pinch your pennies and stay an extra week! Once you arrive, your list of things to do,
will only double with pleasure. |
