Natadola Beach.
  • Tip Rating:
  • This beach is on the south coast of the main island (Viti Levu). The trip there is along a very bumpy road (perhaps track is a better word). However, it is worth the bruised backside received in a van with poor shocks!
    Take your lunch and sunscreen. There is a newly opened resort there (it's small and unobtrusive), but I believe lunch there is very expensive. Walk along the beach and swim, or just sit in the shade and relax.
    A higlight at low tide is the area of rock pools that form just to the east of the hotel. Some of the pools are quite deep and a great place to swim or better still snorkel. Lots of fish remain in those pools and it is great fun watching them dart in and out of spooky looking grottos.

  • Tip Rating:
  • If you surf.. you must surf Frigates break..
    If you drive to Waidroka Bay Resort, they have early morning boat rides ( I mean Early!) to 9 surf breaks ( including Frigates). On average Frigates breaks overhead. This was the smallest day the guys had seen in a while. It is a LONG paddle from the boat to the break. ( It is however in the middle of the ocean). If you are not in shape, watch it.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Take time to meet and talk to the people. Fijians are the nicest people, and most of them love to chat with you.

    Don't forget your sula!
  • Tip Rating:
  • As it is hard to visit an authentic fijian village without a local, it is a privalage to visit one. It is very worth the effort going to one, just in the welcome that you get shown, and of course the chance to join in with the kava drinking - just remeber your sula.

    A change from the beach!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Most people visiting Fiji, land at Nadi airport and head straight for the beach resorts or islands. If you have any time, try and take a trip into the Nausori Highlands, on the East of Viti Levu. The rivers and waterfalls are amazing as is the scenery and surrounding countryside. Just watch out for the roads, they are pretty horrendous....

  • The island of Nananu - I - Ra is easily acessable, but you must book ahead as there are only a few places to stay. You must bring your own food to prepare and there's no electricity after approx. 9.30 - 10.00 pm . We had a beach several km long practically to ourselves. Absolutely beautiful place to stay: sunabthe and charge up your batteries, get up to date on yor diary, write a lot of postcards and catch up on the book you've been dragging along for months, but havn't had the time to read yet.
