Things to Do  

Bounty Island

Bounty Island, Viti Levu

 malianrob Says:  We also made it to this island and spent the day here. It was definitely bigger that South Sea Island. The beach here was beautiful here to but the beach was full of rock and coral too. I am not complaining though. It was beautiful. Alexis and I walked on the beach picking... 

South Sea Island

South Sea Island, Viti Levu

 malianrob Says:  South Sea Island is the closest of the Mamanuca Group of islands. It is about a 20 minute boat ride from Denarau Island. This is also the smallest of the islands. I thought they were joking that in 5 to 10 minutes you can walk around the entire island. But it is true! This... 

Take me to the Beach!

Take me to the Beach!, Viti Levu

Tambua Sands Resort: Personal

Tambua Sands Resort: Personal, Viti Levu

 Hewer Says:  I stayed in a beachfront bungalow and awoke to the shore of the Coral Coast every morning. White sands, palm trees, great breakfast and many, many activites to choose from - or doing nothing at all for that matter. It`s a smaller hotel than most of the others in the area....

Cheap Curry

Cheap Curry, Viti Levu

Baravi Handcrafts: Browse in peace, Viti Levu

 Hewer Says:  Fijian vendors are overwhelmingly friendly and will do anything to secure a sale. They`ll follow you around the store, asking questions and offering free drinks and food so that you almost feel obligated to buy something.It sometimes gets to be a bit much. One shop on the... 

Local Customs  

Kava

Kava, Viti Levu

 Hewer Says:  Kava is a narcotic beverage. You can buy kava in a powdered form and it is then thoroughly mixed with water. It looks like muddy water and tastes like bitter water mixed with earth and incense. Traditionally, it is men who drink kava but visitors of both genders are... 

Church on Sunday

Church on Sunday, Viti Levu

 Hewer Says:  Many Fijians in rural areas are devout Christians. Every village has some kind of church or place of worship. I managed to get along to a church service on a Sunday morning while I was there. The whole village attended the service too. Everybody really dresses up for it,... 

Visiting villages

Visiting villages, Viti Levu

 Hewer Says:  There are numerous small villages dispersed around the coastline of Viti Levu. Although entering one of them may seem an interesting (and harmless) thing to do, remember that it is mark of respect to get permission to enter first. If you see someone at or near the village...

Visit a village!

Visit a village!, Viti Levu

 Hewer Says:  One of the best experiences you can have is to visit a local village. I stayed at the Tambua Sands Resort on the Coral Coast. It's smaller than some of the big resorts nearby and there are more opportunities to meet the locals. After a few days we were invited to the home of... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Rugby

Rugby, Viti Levu

 Hewer Says:  If you find yourself in Fiji between March and September, try to get along to a rugby game. Most games are played on Saturdays. I was lucky enough to be there for the national `tens` tournament. It cost FJD$2 for general admission while I was there, but the staff gave us...
