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. [NEXT]
