Fiji vacation and visitor guide with airport, airline, hotel and vacation information. Fiji offers a diversity of sports, from Scuba diving to sky diving, from badminton to beach volleyball. Being a small island nation with abundant natural resources, our islands are blessed with year-round warm weather, golden sandy beaches, clear blue water, attractive coral reefs and exciting high waves. Coupled with this, Fiji has the facilities, infrastructure and atmosphere to provide a truly unique and unforgettable vacation experience. The Fiji people are so warm and friendly that no matter what resort you stay at, you will probably find yourself greeted with hugs, the female staff mothering you with genuine concern and hospitality so touching you’ll be lost for words.
Fiji is served by two International airports: Nadi (Airport Code: NAN), on the western side and Nausori (Airport Code: SUV) on the east coast of Viti Levu near Suva. Nadi and Nausori provide air connections to all of the world's major cities, with direct flights to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Korea, serviced by eight international carriers. Fiji national airline, Air Pacific, provides many of those flights with a fleet that includes Boeing 747s and 767s. Getting around Fiji by air is easy with most places being served by an Airport or Airstrip. Visit our Airports & Airlines section for more information.
Fiji's rainforests are unique in that they have no harmful animals or insects. Here one can enjoy serene contemplation of nature in complete safety. Multi-hued birds flit from the trees, and if you are lucky you may spot several varieties of Fiji's tiny wild parrots. While the forest can be thick and impenetrable, you will find pathways used by the Fijians who know the jungle as well as you know your own living room. Because of the mountainous nature of the islands, there are numerous streams and waterfalls, often with a cool pond in a rocky basin beneath the falls. One of the most famous is the sacred Bouma Falls on the Island of Taveuni, seen by the world in the motion picture "Return to the Blue Lagoon". Here you will also find a natural waterslide, also featured in the movie, where local residents have enjoyed themselves for centuries. Fiji has no leeches or crocodiles, and wild streams and brooks are crystal clear and unpolluted. Visit the Official Fiji Islands Travel Guide by the Fiji Visitors Bureau.
