]]>Fiji’s landscapes are nothing short of breathtaking, with lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and vibrant coral reefs that teem with marine life. Visitors can explore the lush interior of Viti Levu, Fiji’s largest island, where verdant valleys and towering peaks provide a stunning backdrop for hiking, birdwatching, and eco-adventures. For a taste of Fiji’s underwater wonders, dive or snorkel in the pristine waters of the Yasawa Islands, where colorful coral gardens and playful sea turtles await discovery. Alternatively, embark on a scenic boat cruise through the stunning Mamanuca Islands, where secluded beaches and hidden coves beckon travelers to unwind in paradise.
Fiji’s cultural heritage is as vibrant as its natural beauty, with a rich tapestry of traditions, rituals, and customs that have been passed down through generations. Visitors can immerse themselves in Fijian culture with visits to local villages, where they can participate in traditional ceremonies, learn about traditional crafts like tapa cloth making and woodcarving, and sample authentic Fijian cuisine cooked in earth ovens known as lovo. Experience the warmth and hospitality of the Fijian people with a stay in a traditional bure, or thatched-roof bungalow, at a local eco-resort or village homestay. Join in lively meke performances, where dancers sway to the rhythm of ancient chants and songs, and discover the art of Fijian storytelling, which has been used for centuries to pass down legends and folklore.
Fiji is committed to preserving its natural and cultural heritage for future generations, with a focus on sustainable tourism practices that benefit local communities and protect the environment. Many resorts and tour operators in Fiji are actively involved in conservation efforts, from reef restoration and marine protection to community-based initiatives that support education, healthcare, and economic development. Travelers can support these efforts by choosing eco-friendly accommodations, participating in responsible tourism activities, and respecting local customs and traditions. By visiting Fiji, travelers not only have the opportunity to experience the beauty and hospitality of this island nation but also to contribute to its ongoing conservation efforts and sustainable development.

]]>Tiger Beach on Grand Bahama Island is known for its tiger sharks, lemon sharks, and hammerheads. There’s no better way to get up close and personal with these sea creatures than booking a trip with Jim Abernethy’s Scuba Adventures, which has cage-free dives. The trips are capped at 10 divers and the liveboard boats depart from West Palm Beach, Florida.
On this scuba diving trip with Beqa Adventure Divers you can see up to eight different species including bull, tiger, sicklefin lemon, and silvertip sharks and you can dive with 50 sharks at one time.
South Africa is regarded as the spot to see great white sharks in their natural habitat and with African Shark Eco-Charters you can get close to these giants from the safety of a cage. Only four to five people are allowed in a cage at one time and groups are capped at 18.

]]>Going to Fiji for the first time is an eye-opening experience, and there are some things that you should keep in mind before heading to this gem of a place. These tips will help you be prepared for your Fiji trip!
You might be used to going fast on isolated roads wherever you live, but that is not something that you can do in Fiji. Due largely to the wildlife and the narrowness of the roads of the islands, the maximum speed when driving is 80 kmh. Be sure not to exceed this speed limit, as you could cause a tragedy or be heavily fined.
Fiji is beautiful and tropical, but it does come with a downside: its huge population of mosquitos. Be sure to bring plenty of bug spray and any necessary equipment to protect yourself from the uncomfortable bites of these pesky insects.
Many travelers to Fiji stay on only one or two islands, which is a shame. If you make the trip to go all the way to Fiji, do some research beforehand and make the most of your experience by island-hopping to do unique activities like hiking and snorkeling.

]]>Fiji is home to 333 islands and only a third of them are inhabited. The water is crystal clear which makes it perfect for swimming and diving, with great views of coral reefs. For a real adventure, book a helicopter ride to enjoy the aerial views of the islands as well as the heart-shaped island of Tavarua.
Fiji has the first and only glass blowing studio and you can attend a workshop or you can watch the team shape and color the golden molten glass. The glasses perfectly capture the lights of the beautiful islands.
For a relaxing experience, check out the Mud Bath at Sabeto Hot Springs which is heated by an underground volcanic source. Start with a guided tour of the thermal springs and then get dirty in the mud pool.
The fire festival, held at the Mariamma Temple, involves walking on red hot coals. Before walking on the coals, the pilgrims who are dressed in yellow take a bath in the sea.
The Sawa-I-Lau caves, which formed over the years due to limestone formations are a must-see while in Fiji. To get to the caves you’ll take a scenic boat ride and you can head into the secretive ones with locals to guide you.

]]>One of the best ways to truly experience Fiji’s exotic beaches is by visiting several islands. While pre-booked tourist boat trips and local flights can be pricey, try going to the port and get on board a local boat, or even a ferryboat, it is a genuine and unique experience.
While taxis are aimed at resort tourists and are quite expensive, taking the local busses is very cheap and is often a great experience. They typically go all around the island for the price of a ticket and can provide a very chill introduction to the local scenery.
If you can, eat like a local. This will also make your trip all the more authentic. Go around the markets and look at the unique fruits, vegetables, and spices available. The vendors will often be happy to share tips on how to cook what they sell. Eat at little shops that offer “special fried rice” and buy snacks at roadside stalls.

]]>Coconut shells are everywhere in local markets. They are used for serving kava but are also a lovely decoration to take back home as a small reminder of the island.
Fiji is known for its morbid history when it comes to cannibalism. Locals have embraced the dark and taboo past of the island and make handcrafted “cannibal forks” which you can surprise your friends from home with.
Turtles are believed to be tokens of good luck and so they are popular souvenirs. You can buy handmade wooden bowls, carved with the lucky marine animal.
Fiji’s pearls are incredibly rare and come in an array of unique colors. They fetch a high price but you can observe the pearl farms during snorkel tours on the island.
Mako masks traditionally represent the deities or values like strength and prosperity. They are often carved with turtles and are a very traditional souvenir to bring home.

]]>Fiji is an archipelago consisting of more than 300 islands, but most of its population and top destinations are concentrated on two of its main islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.
These islands enjoy a tropical climate, making its stunning beaches the perfect year-round destination. One of its most beautiful beaches is Natadola Beach, which is located on the main island of Viti Levu.
Travelers to Fiji can marvel not only at the pristine white sand of its beaches, but also at the crystal-clear light blue waters of the Pacific. Visitors are often amazed to see schools of colorful fishes and other marine life in Fiji’s ocean waters.
The beach isn’t the only thing to visit in Fiji, though, as it is also host to jungles and mountains. There is an array of natural parks to visit to see the verdant landscape and imposing cliffs that Fiji is home to.
The Bouma National Heritage Park on the island of Taveuni is home to the spectacular Tavoro Waterfalls as well as virgin rainforest and coastal forests.
Fiji is an unforgettable destination for any tropical island lover. Nothing could beat a getaway to visit these mystically beautiful islands and marvel in its wonders.
