Fiji’s capital, Nadi, is the centre of the action with plenty of shopping.

Denarau Island is only 20 mins from Nadi Airport. It’s a tourist hot spot and features world-renowned resorts along with the largest single collection of quality shopping and dining in Fiji.

The Coral Coast stretches 130km and is accessible by road from either Nadi or Suva. Protected from onshore swells by a fringing reed, the coast is a mix of white sand and coral beaches. Most Coral Coast beaches offer calm swimming conditions for families with young children while others are strictly for keen surfers when South Pacific conditions are right.

Kadavu Islands

Kadavu is Fiji’s fourth-largest island. It’s renowned for being largely untouched (there are few roads) making it a drawcard for nature lovers. The island’s deeply indented bays, fringed by coral reefs and mangrove forest provide habitat to a host of birds including the endemic Kadavu musk parrot. Forest openings reveal lizards basking on rocks, and butterflies spiralling skyward in a lazy dance.

The Great Astrolabe Reef, one of the largest continuous reefs in the world, wraps from the northeast to the southern side of the island.

Having maintained its strong cultural values the general population leads fairly subsistent lifestyles in sleepy coastal villages dwarfed by mountainous jungles and waterfalls plummeting from the hilltops.

Village tours and cultural discovery

Pacific Harbour and the Outer Islands

Pacific Harbour Fiji is a mini-metropolis located on the south coast of Viti Levu and features a long stretch of beach that overlooks Beqa Passage with Beqa Island and Lagoon in the distance. The region is known as the ‘Adventure Capital of Fiji”. Here you can experience everything from mild excitements to full-blown adrenaline rushes. Additionally, it’s a good base to explore the mountainous hinterland of Vitu Levu.

Beqa Lagoon is one of the world’s most exceptional dive spots. The water is warm and visibility is great so you won’t miss the beautiful corals and schools of colourful fish.

Resorts on this coastline are not as prolific as the Coral Coast further west and that’s part of the attraction.

Suva

Suva is Fiji’s administrative capital. Located on a peninsula that formed a natural harbour, access to the sea and ports beyond Suva’s link to the resort of the South Pacific.

Eventually, much of the mangrove-lined coast was reclaimed as the village morphed into a city. The port of Suva plays a significant role in Suva’s position as the third-largest urban centre in the South Pacific behind New Zealand and Australia.

Here you’ll discover a bustling town flourishing with vibrant markets and stalls.
