Fiji Tours & Experiences

Fiji can be expensive but it depends on where you stay. There is a mixture of premium and budget accommodation providers. Food also can be expensive if you opt for a more luxury experience as you are travelling in extremely remote and secluded islands. It all depends on what type of experience you are looking for. One of our friendly travel specialists can help you find the best options that fit into your budget.

By far the most popular time to travel to Fiji is between May & September. This is during the ‘dry season’ when you can expect warm weather and blue skies. Between October to April, this is considered the ‘Wet Season’ which is when Fiji experiences more rainfall.

During the Wet Season, you can travel on the fly and stay spontaneous—just avoid school holidays when things fill up fast. The rest of the year gets super busy, especially with remote and limited accommodation options. Since Fiji is such a popular spot, we strongly recommend planning ahead.

There’s only one main boat operator running between islands, and they have limited departure times, so you’ll need to book your accommodation before boarding. If you still want flexibility, grab a Bula Pass—that way, you can lock in your stays later as you go.

Keep in mind, Fiji runs on ‘Fiji Time,’ which means everything moves at a relaxed pace. It’s part of the charm, but it can leave you stuck without a place to sleep if you haven’t booked in advance.

Generally speaking, Fiji is a very safe place to visit and most travellers have a great time. The islands in particular have a very safe and laid back atmosphere. We always recommend travelling smart wherever you go to avoid any possibility of losing an item to theft. We also believe it is very important to remain respectful to locals and their cultures at all times to have the most fun on your trip.

The best way to meet people will be on the boat trips between each island and in the resorts themselves. You can also ask our friendly travel specialists for information on booking group tours so you will meet like minded travellers.

You will need to fly into Nadi Airport to access the beautiful islands of Fiji. From there, if you book with us, we can organise a pre & post night of accommodation. This includes complimentary airport transfers as well as transfer to and from Port Denarau where you will head out to the islands.

Fiji is made up of over 300 islands, so transport includes domestic flights, ferries, and boat transfers. On the main islands (like Viti Levu), buses, taxis, and private transfers are commonly used. The easiest way to get around is to book a cruiser/island hopping package that includes all transport needed. To see the best of the islands, check out our Coconut Cruiser package deal!

Some of the top things to do in Fiji include:

Snorkelling or diving the coral reefs.

Visiting the Yasawa and Mamanuca Islands.

Taking part in a kava ceremony.

Relaxing on world-famous white sand beaches.

Exploring waterfalls and jungle hikes.

“Fiji Time” is a relaxed, go-with-the-flow island mentality. Things might move slower than you’re used to—so embrace it and slow down. You’re on holiday!

Fiji uses the Fijian Dollar (FJD). Credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas. However it’s a good idea to carry some cash for local markets and remote islands.
