More then anything else, Fiji is an exotic destination.
It's the exhilaration of a dolphin arching high into the air beside
your boat; the long gliding swoop of an orange dove through the
rainforest; the smiles of excited children performing in unison
to the beat of a hollow log drum.
Our 333 islands can sizzle with
excitement or murmur with the quiet calm of pristine nature. Where
else can you swim with huge, harmless manta rays congregating
by the shore, snorkel over giant rainbow gardens of soft coral,
or scuba dive the White Wall and famous Astrolabe Reef. Fiji is
where the Cloud Breaker, the incredible six-metre wave found offshore
at Tavarua, draws surfers from around the world. It is also where
you can float in the calm, quiet waters of a turquoise lagoon
at sunset or walk alone through lush rainforest. It is where the
sun shines almost everyday and when it does rain, people rush
outside for a rainbath in the warm, brief downpour of a tropical
shower which ends as quickly as it began. This is where life is
lived for the joy of it all, where rushing is rude, and the name
of a new friend is never forgotten. Fiji is where people wear
flowers tucked in their hair, not to impress visitors, but because
they like to.

The Fiji archipelago is at the cross roads of the South Pacific. In the days of sailing ships it was known as The Cannibal Isles and carefully avoided by mariners because of its fierce warriors and treacherous waters. However, in the age of jumbo jets and global travel. Fiji has become the central hub of the exotic South Pacific. More than 85 flights land at Nadi on the main island of Viti levu every week. From there it is only a quick seven minute hop to one of the offshore island resorts, or less than an hour of flying time to Vanua Levu or Taveuni, the second and third largest islands, where then outside world is quickly left behind
For those who like to keep their feet on the ground
once they arrive, the big island of Viti Levu offers a wealth
of tropical scenery, from rushing mountain rivers and waterfalls
in the depths of the rainforest, to palm-fringed beaches where
time seems to stop. This is where you can fish from the reef in
the morning, picnic at the edge of a waterfall plunging into a
rocky jungle pool at midday and eat native food cooked in an earth
oven in the evening, and then dance to the beat in a swinging
discotheque until long after midnight. Along with it's pristine
tropical beauty, Viti levu offers several large towns and the
bustling capital of Suva, a shopper's paradise and you will never
have to travel more than a few hours to get anywhere on the island.
