I was based at Nadi city in Western part of Viti Levu island, where you have the biggest airport (and international one).
We did a 1 day excursion to the capital...Suva. Very very interesting if you want to really meet local Fidjian people. The government palace is worth to see (you can not enter but you can see it from the gardens), with their guards wearing traditional 'skirt' clothing.
>>> the picture shows the entrance of the Presidential Residence in Suva, with the typical clothes worn by official Fiji police/security...funny
But the very very best place I've ever been could really be :
MANA island, small one, about 1 1/2 hours by boat from Nadi port. It's like a paradise....extraordinary beach and top top clear water full of sealife and really not crowded. You must go there if you can afford it (boats aren't cheap).
I did scuba diving off Mana island and that was probably the best diving site I've ever did (better than Australia Big Reef !). We saw whale sharks + hammer sharks + uncommon smaller fishes.
