Most people when they
think of Fiji, the thought of rainforests,
coconut plantations, beautiful sandy beaches
and mountains of volcanic
origin.
If you’re thinking this,
you’re right.

Fiji represents the dream of the
quintessential island holiday. Apart from being a superb
honeymoon destination, it’s also a great place for a family
holiday with lots to do for everyone. So what are we waiting
for? Let’s get started on your Fiji vacation
package!
So how do you get there? The normal way
for most folks is to fly into Fiji’s main airport, Nadi
International. Alternatively you may consider doing a
Fiji vacation package as part of an Australasian tour and
enter the country by boat from Australia. This is the more
adventurous option and great fun!

Once you are in Fiji,
getting around is not too difficult. Renting a
car is always a nice way to have flexibility in
your movement. The public transport system is
also there in the form of buses and taxis. For
shorter trips you can even rent bicycles and
cycle around the island. This way you can
really experience the locals.
If you want to do some
inter-island travelling, there are various
ferry services that take tourists from one
island to another on daily
excursions.

As with most island vacations you’ll find
that you easily run out of time with the many things to do in
Fiji. When planning your Fiji vacation package, you need
to ensure to schedule certain activities that is ‘not
negotiable’ to miss. These are:
Trekking
If you like walking and hiking this is a
definite on the list of things to do. Some of the great ones
are the Lavena Coastal Walk or Vidawa Forest Walk. There are
more than just these of course and usually the concierge and
hotel staff where you stay will be able to give you loads of
info.

Wildlife and Bird
Watching

activity in your Fiji vacation, it’s sure

Water
Activities
This is an island, so
this means there are water, waves and beaches.
Take the time therefore in your
Fiji vacation package for surfing, scuba
diving & snorkelling, Watersports (like
sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, etc) and

Dancing
The best types of holidays are the ones
where you really get involved with the locals and experience
the different cultures. Nothing embodies Fijian culture quite
like their dancing. Both men and women have the opportunity to
partake. Locally it’s known as ‘Meke’ and it’s an event where
women dress in traditional Fijian clothing (grass skirts and
tapa cloth), and the men can do warrior dances as the women
sing. Great fun!!
Fiji
also has some interesting sites to visit that carry a great
deal of historical significance. However, around this part of
the world its best to kick back, relax and enjoy the island
life.
