Fiji Overview

Fiji is situated in the South West Pacific. There are over 300 islands to visit, about 150 fiji accommodation properties and more than 50 organised day tours to enjoy.

With over 410,000 tourists in 2004, and a highly developed tourist industry, Fiji is the envy of its South Pacific neighbours. There is something here for everyone - gorgeous beaches, uninhabited coral islands and crystal clear lagoons, truly beautiful coral reefs, lush tropical rainforest with high mountains and a traditional village-orientated culture. This makes it an all round destination for beach vacations, active holidays, exploring and backpacking.

Fiji Basic Information

Fiji has two main seasons, a summer which runs from November to April, and a winter from May to October. Although the temperature changes are only slight, the summer period is warmer and more humid. Average temperatures for a Fijian summer are 73°F to 86°F.

Winter weather is drier (summer is also Fiji’s rainy season). Typical winter temperatures 68°F to 79°F. Water temperatures for both seasons are a few degrees warmer, which makes Fiji an ideal destination for diving all year round.

Accommodation in Fiji is diverse and prices range from F$10 for a single room in a hostel to F$700 + for a luxury suite in a 5 star resort.

Rural, island and urban locations are available throughout the Fijian chain of islands. Bure’s are also available for those who are traditional at heart. A Bure is the thatch-roofed villa that resembles the traditional Fijian village accommodation.

Most mid-range priced hotels offer complimentary activities and have extensive information on other sight-seeing highlights and more expensive things-to-do.
