My girlfriend and I are booking a tour for Fiji in April.

Our main goal is snorkling in some of the best reefs, from the beach/house. It doesnt have to be a fancy hotel, we are more interested in the water.

We are thinking about doing the Yasawa Islands where i can see Nanuaya Balavu Island and Blue Lagoon/Nacula Island should be good. But i think there could be a big difference from spot to spot on the Islands why i want to hear you guys :)

Where are the best house reefs(or with a smaller walk) and which hotel/airbnb should we book to see it?

Bula vinaka!

I will have a 27-hour layover in Nadi and I'm looking for options on what to do. I know it's not much time, and I really wish I could stay longer, but my budget doesn't allow it =/
What do you recommend to see/eat/do?
I also read some things in this sub that made me worried about scams and safety... Any tips regarding those? And recommendations for accommodation near the airport in Nadi?

I recently moved into a flat where the rent is exclusive of power and water, this will be my first time paying utility bills.

I have had the EFL and WAF transfer done in early January.

The agent I was dealing with told me that the bills will be due next month (March).

My question is, do I get notified when I need to pay bills or do I just have to keep checking in?

Also, what are the power and water rates?

Can anyone recommend a nice mid-range resort in the yasawas?

When we deposit coins at the bank I know we're meant to use coin bags but how do we get the coin bags? Do we have to spend an hour lining up at the teller and hope they hand some over?

(not interested in anyone's spare stash or any special contacts that can sneak me some- wanting to know what the everyman does lol )

Experiences good or bad when travelling from UK to Fiji or other way round.

This just enables some of us to be aware of what to expect and what to look out for from booking to travelling or arriving and departure?

Bula vinaka!

I am planning my fourth trip to the beautiful Fiji but this time with a difference - my darling wife and teenager are coming, and instead of a resort we are staying in a beautiful air bnb in Nadi.

We're arriving June 8, flying out two weeks later, planning on renting a car to get around (or not, and just go with the flow), and are looking for ideas for activities and adventures.

I feel a bit sheltered, having only experienced resort life previously, so I'd really appreciate any advice on things to watch out for, do's and dont's, day trips to do, and anything anyone would recommend we try! Also happy to take suggestions for how much money we should set aside for our time there.

Thank you 🙏

Hello!!

My fiance and I have landed on going to Fiji for our honeymoon and we couldn’t be more excited. I wanted to come here and ask for some general information and tips.

The details:

• Will be staying at the intercontinental from May 28th to June 2nd, 2025.

Questions:

1. We’re planning on renting a car for our time. The 2WD vehicle be sufficient to get around the island? Or is 4WD recommended??

2. What is the best day tour out of Nadi? We love adventure and would be excited to see some of the caves along with as many islands as possible. Which tour guide service would you suggest?

3. Are there any hidden gem waterfalls that you can get to without a guide?

4. Best restaurants on the island for authentic food and seafood?

5. Any must do/see things while on the big island?

6. Best hikes on the big island?

I appreciate any and all advice!!

Which countries would you say are more positively viewed by Fijian people?

Hi, I am a Fijian citizen living overseas. Please be kind with your comments as I don’t normally ask for guidance. I have been a stay at home for over 3 years and I really just want to start a business for myself when I move over in a couple of months. My thinking is to start a sourdough/baking business from home. As I haven’t been home for a while; would you all give me an insight if this would work out or should I maybe think of other ideas? Any help is or insight is appreciated

I am very excited to visit beautiful Fiji for the first time in February!

I am looking forward to hopping to many islands from a homebase in Denarau. I know it is a stormy season and have already decided to book boats day-of, depending on the weather.

But I am wondering if the weather makes the waters too choppy for consistent boats/ferries for such day trips.

What is the risk of getting stuck on one of the islands overnight?

Sorry if this is a silly question but I did not could not find a comparable topic in the search.

Hi all, I was in Fiji a few weeks ago and met a lovely older man who had a bad infection on his leg that hadn't healed in years despite visiting the hospital on multiple occasions.

At the time I took a few pictures and sent them off to family who are doctors in NZ for advice and they suggested a few tests and said that in NZ he would have been immediately admitted to hospital. Unfortunately it sounds like he still hasn't made it to see a doctor - it sounds like his family don't see it as urgent given it has gone on for so long. When I spoke with him he seemed quite keen on getting something done and asked me several times after the pics had been taken.

I'm going to be going back to NZ via Fiji in a few weeks and will hopefully be able to take him myself.

Can anyone recommend a good clinic to go to and what the cost would be? My relatives in NZ have offered to help financially if the cost will be high. Also is it necessary to book in advance? And how long do test results usually take (blood tests and swabs) so I can plan accordingly.

Thanks all!

A friend and I are making our first trip to Fiji in a couple weeks. Flying into Nadi. Our first day we have a car rental and are planning to drive completely around Viti Levu. Then we are around Nadi for a few more days. I’m overwhelmed by how much I want to see. So much culture! I would love a few recommendations to check out. Especially on the drive around Viti Levu, but also around Nadi. How to attend a kava ceremony? Thanks!!

Interested in learning how to swim (M35) I almost drowned as a young boy and have been afraid of the water ever since. Worked up the courage to try to at least learn how to swim now and I'm no longer embarrassed to admit it.

I need help finding a club that offers it.

Hello. I’m wondering if anyone can recommend day trips for me and my daughter (10y) in July?

We’re staying at Naviti Resort and are looking to get out of the resort for one day. She’s torn between doing the Ecotrax tour or heading out to an island for the day.

What does everyone recommend that’s child friendly and will be an awesome day for her 10th birthday? Thanks 😊

Edit to add: trips leaving from the Coral Coast would be ideal

Bula! We are traveling to Fiji soon for a short holiday. Our flight arrives late afternoon and we won’t make it to the last trip of South Sea cruises. Looking at Mamanuca Express and SeaFiji, getting mixed reviews online. Which one is better? TA.

Bula!

Going to be staying on an island (Matamanoa) from 27th Feb to 4th March, but Flights land evening of 26th and leave morning of 5th.

I'm mostly just looking for safe, ideally cheaper place to stay for both nights before moving on.

Was wondering if anybody had any recommendations?

Thanks for any help!

Hello, I’m planning a visit to Fiji in a few months. What are some restaurants you recommend around Nadi, Vanua Levu, and Taveuni?

In terms of transportation around the islands, I’m thinking about renting a car, but I read online that there are busses there. Are they reliable? Could I rent a motorbike?

Thanks in advance.
