About Fiji

Fiji is an island nation in the South Pacific, set between Australia, New Zealand and Tonga, and made up of more than 300 islands, of which around a third are inhabited. Known for turquoise lagoons, volcanic highlands, coral reefs and warm hospitality, it combines resort comfort with strong village traditions and a relaxed island rhythm.

Most international visitors arrive at Nadi International Airport on Viti Levu, the main gateway, while Nausori Airport near Suva handles domestic and regional links. Ferries, small aircraft, buses, taxis and resort transfers connect the larger islands with beach areas and outer archipelagos such as the Mamanucas and Yasawas.

Fiji's history blends Indigenous iTaukei culture, Polynesian and Melanesian influences, Indian heritage from the colonial era, and British colonial history before independence in 1970. This mix is visible in ceremonies, languages, temples, churches, markets and everyday community life, especially in Suva, Levuka, and traditional villages.

Travelers often explore Nadi's markets and the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, the Coral Coast's beaches, Suva's museums and waterfront, the old capital Levuka on Ovalau, and island resorts scattered across the Mamanuca and Yasawa chains. Inland, rivers, waterfalls and forested peaks add a greener, quieter side to the coast.

The climate is tropical, with warm temperatures year-round, a wetter season from about November to April and drier, sunnier months from May to October. The atmosphere is easygoing and social, shaped by beach life, village visits, snorkeling, diving, surfing, sailing, kayaking and evening gatherings.

Local flavors include kokoda, a citrus-marinated fish dish, lovo meals cooked in an earth oven, tropical fruit, seafood, roti, curries and kava shared ceremonially. For getting around, visitors can use domestic flights, inter-island ferries, hotel boats, rental cars on main islands, buses, taxis and organized transfers.
