Fiji - Islands & Coral Coast

DESTINATION INFORMATION

Bula!

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 in the rainforest; the smiles of excited children performing in unison to the beat of a hollow log drum.

The 333 islands of Fiji can sizzle with excitement or murmur with the quiet calm of pristine nature.
Fiji is a thousand kilometres of pristine white sandy beaches, year round tropical warmth, unspoiled, exotic islands, exquisite coral reefs and crystal-clear lagoons just a few short hours from Australia.
These magical islands, once the home of fierce warriors and a unique culture, offer extreme beauty and tranquility.
Its tropical forests are within easy walk of most resorts and in some cases part of your resort, and clear waters and countless coral reefs offer unparalleled snorkelling and diving.
Fijian villages in out-of-the-way places, centuries old rituals such as fire-walking and the unique culture of India are all part of what makes Fiji a unique experience.
Fiji offers families holidays with a huge range of mostly free activities and fun beach getaways.
For romantics and those seeking timeout from the modern frenetic world you will find some of the world's most renowned deluxe islands.
Or cruise the crystal-clear waters of Fiji's Mamanuca and Yasawa islands with options ranging from budget day-trips to two, three and seven night cruises on well-appointed ships and sailing safaris aboard a tall-ship.
But mostly, the thing you will love in Fiji is the 800,000 smiling faces of the friendliest people on earth.

We look forward to sharing these exotic and friendly islands with you!
