Hiking In
FijiThere are a few things you'll want to consider before you set out on a long trek through the Fijian rainforest or along an island coastline. Fiji possesses a tropical climate that may or may not
be similar to the climate you live in. If you're unfamiliar with a humid environment such as Fiji's, then you'll
want to be prepared to hike with appropriate amounts of water as well as one or two good towels.
Good towels in
this case won't mean towels from the hotel bathroom or pool area. You can expect to be warm during your hike and you
should expect to sweat. You'll want to use the towels to keep your body as dry as possible. Five miles in, the last thing
you want to start dealing with is a severe case of chaffing.
Know your skill level and prepare for your hike
appropriately and you'll destined to experience an amazing part of Fijian culture.
