A high-speed jet boat, bulleting at high speeds past narrow mangrove lined corridors of the Nadi River. A special technology allows for unbelievable maneuvers past natural obstacles. The ride is both a thrill and fun.

Snorkelling is something you can do off most of the islands, although the reefs off the main island of Viti Levu aren't exactly 'pristine'. But you will still get to see a variety of fish, starfish, harmless sea snakes and sea cucmbers. Wear a t-shirt to stop your back from getting sunburnt, and take a disposable underwater camera. Most decent hotels will provide complimentary snorkel masks and flippers. All you need to do is float around and enjoy. Leave a Comment Address: Pretty much any of the beaches

Having been on the Shotover Jet in Queensland, New Zealand, we jumped at the chance of signing up for the jet boat ride here in Fiji.
It is only just down the lane from the hotel and they pick you up from your accommodation. The boats are the same style as they use in New Zealand, the main difference between the two trips was 20 degrees! (temperature that is).I sat in the front this time. Same speed, same turns, warmer water. I got soaked! Not just sprayed, the water actuallt poured over me, like somebody had emptied a bucket!
Then we broke down! We seem to have a knack for breaking down in boats - I hope that doesn't go for the cruise too. The driver tried to repair it and sent off for another driver, who also couldn't manage to repair it.
Eventually we had to clamber out and scramble up the bank to wait for the van to come across the golf course to pick us up. Back at base we were offered a refund or another trip. We are goign again of course!
We had a different driver this time, Colin. He was a real showman. The same spin for the camera, then off we went down the mangrove rivers at high speed with a few spins and narrow misses of the sides, stilted huts, bridges etc. I think this was even better than the original jet boat in Queenstown, New Zealand. It was certainly longer and better value for money, although the canyons made the NZ trip more interesting. Leave a Comment

Kula Ecopark is Fijis only wildlife park and makes for a great day out. The park is laid out in such a way that you can follow a path around at your leisure. Some sections are boardwalk high up in the rainforest canopy. Mainly a bird park, there are also turtles, iguanas and a small aquarium. Some birds are in aviaries, others fly free, or within larger but enclosed sections. We spent half a day here and had a really great time. When we visited in 2006 adult entry was $16, half price for children under 12, and special rates for families (Fijian Dollars).
As well as running breeding programmes for some endangered species, Kula Ecopark is also runs a free educational programme for local schoolchildren. Leave a Comment Directions: Not far from the Outrigger Hotel on the Coral Coast.Website: %cb%b%s2www.fijiwild.com

A visit to SUVA, the capital city.
Suva, Fiji's capital, is on the south-eastern coast of the big island of Viti Levu. While Nadi, in the west of this island, is the tourism centre of the country (and where the Int'l airport is located), Suva is interesting as the country's political and administrative centre as well as the major port. Suva and its urban surrounds are home to half of Fiji's urban population, and it is one of the South Pacific's largest and most sophisticated cities, housing the University of the South Pacific, the interesting Fiji Museum and many interesting colonial-era buildings. It's a multicultural city with many mosques, temples, churches and cultural centres. The Roman Catholic Cathedral (1902) is one of the city's most prominent landmarks.
The waterfront area is very interesting, and the Suva Municipal Market is a must-see for visitors for its exotic fruits and vegetables, kava, fish and seafood, and spices. It has an exciting multicultural flavour, with vendors selling brightly coloured Indian sweets and savouries, and fruit drinks from glass tanks.

After staying overnight in Lavena, we took a bus to Bouma, to see more waterfalls:) We went up the beautiful, well maintained trail and after 10 minutes we were already by the first waterfall! Swimming behind it was a great fun! Anna was even jumping from the cliff, I wasn't that brave. Anyway, make sure you take your swimsuit:)
The second waterfall is another half an hour up, with stunning views of the coast and palm tree forests on the way. There's less room for swimming but you can still do it.
It takes two more hours to get to the third one. However, after the rain the trail is very slippery and almost non-accessible. That's why we had to pass:) If you want to see the third waterfall, it's better to hire a guide in the Visitor's Centre and he'll show you the best way. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the bus to Bouma and go to the Visitor's Centre for maps and information. You need to pay a small fee as well.

I like cheep good food and Fiji has lots of that .When in Nandi go into town and find Clay street its by the opean air market.On your left hand side is the restaurant The Curry House great food and cheep. I used to know the manager Anand Sami is his name he would make special curries for me ask what is special on the menue. Ask to watch them making the curries I was able to its amazing its made in these huge pots. You know the kind in the old Tarzan movies that the natives used to cook up the white hunters. So check it out and dont forget to say Bula....
Fiji if I recall correctly has the second largest reef system on the planet,although it could be third.But regardless, the diving and snorkeling are magic.The best way to find the best beach dives on the island are one to ask and two to rent a car and go down every road that looks good. Every road just a bout that goes through the cain fields will take you to some sort of beach. Just remember to go towards the ocean and not towards the highlands,no diving in the highlands....

This is possibly one of the most obvious activities to do in Fiji, but it's also one of the most scenic. The warm waters make it even more enjoyable. Pleanty of coloured fish and coral, and even some sharks and turtles. Leave a Comment Directions: Fiji has countless dive spots so look into the closest one to where you want to go. Beqa lagoon is known as a good dive spot but while in Fiji we were told that because so many dive boats drop anchor, the lagoon is getting destroyed.
