The Fiji islands are an archipelago of over 330 islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean, situated between the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn and are remarkable for their abundant clear blue lagoons, pristine rivers and rainforest-covered mountains. This amazing landscape makes Fiji suitable for a wide variety of recreational pursuits, including snorkelling, surfing, trekking and boating.
One of the main attractions of Fiji is surfing, thanks to the warm water, an abundance of surf and a distinct lack of crowds. However Fiji does have the third-largest barrier reef in the world, which means that the majority of Fiji's waves can only be accessed by boat rather than just paddling from the beach.
Golf is popular in Fiji among visitors and locals alike, and there are five 18-hole courses, four of which are located on Viti Levu, the largest island. Of course, many people take a Fiji holiday just to find a cosy spot on an isolated sandy beach, pick up a good book and relax.

Explore the Coral Coast
The Coral Coast is the birthplace of tourism to Fiji in the 1950’s. A brilliant stretch of white beach dotted by copious lush vegetation, Korolevu on the Coral Coast is primarily where it all started, where Fiji’s reputation as a tourism mecca was founded and nurtured. The Coral Coast is home to the Kula Eco Park. Fiji's only wildlife park. The Park is an environmental showplace dedicated to the conservation of Fiji's indigenous Fauna and to the environmental education of Fiji's children. The region is also home to the biggest limestone cave in the South Pacific. Pristine beaches and rich rainforests make this a great favourite holiday base for many.
Explore the Pacific Coast
The Southern Coast of Vitu Levu (mainland) have united to form the Pacific Coast. The Pacific Coast boasts a myriad of outdoor adventure activities, catering to all ages. It’s also the home of the fire walking people. Fijian fire-walking is legendary and has remained a mystery as to why the people of Beqa Island’s Sawau tribe were given the power to walk on white hot stones without injury. You can witness it for yourself, this gift is still practiced today. Visit the Arts Village at Pacific Harbour to experience the Fijian way of life, their customs and their hospitality. Shop for local carvings, paintings, handcrafts, clothing and more. For a taste of adventure and a definite adrenalin rush, experience a Beqa Lagoon shark feed dive. Frequent shark encounters include bull sharks, gray, white and black tip reef sharks, nurse sharks and even the occasional tiger and oceanic white tip shark.

Yasawa Islands are known for their picturesque, white sandy beaches, jagged peaks and limestone caves and the spectacular colourful underwater coral gardens. They are as beautiful as they are diversified. From tiny islets that can be walked in a couple of minutes to vast islands that would take many days to circumnavigate on foot.
