FIJI by Exotik

A friendly Fijian welcome and broad smiles await you in this tropical paradise of beautiful beaches, blue lagoons and swaying palm trees. Renowned for stunning sunsets, breathtaking waterfalls, awesome surf, and pristine rain forests, Fiji unsurprisingly draws thousands of visitors to its shores each year. Comprising more than 300 islands, the country is a vibrant melting pot of cultures, where East Indian, Polynesian, Melanesia, Chinese and European converge to form a unique cultural medley. Brimming with colorful attractions, awe-inspiring scenery, friendly people and cultural and sporting activities aplenty, Fiji offers something for everyone. From the wanderlust-suffused traveler to the hedonistic sports junkie, this archipelago at the crossroads of the South Pacific is tourist heaven. And, best of all, there’s an array of accommodation and activities to suit all tastes and budgets.

Cities

Nadi – The Gateway to Fiji

If you’re headed this way, it’s likely that Nadi will be your first (and last) stop. As the home of Fiji’s international airport, this multicultural town links Fiji to the world. It is also your transition port to other parts of Fiji. Whether you’re stopping off here at the start or end of your journey, or staying nearby – there’s lots to explore in Nadi. If you are in transit, you are encouraged to get out and explore the region if you have more than four hours between flights. A last dash of retail therapy and a pampering spa visit to the Rejuvenation Centre on the Nadi backroad should get you ready for your trip. The diverse range of accommodation options allows travellers numerous alternatives depending on budget and location required. Airport hotels are within walking distance. There are also self-contained hotel/apartment options for longer stays.

SUVA

Suva is one of the most cosmopolitan centres in the South Pacific, home to around a third of Fiji’s population. Suva is the economic, educational and diplomatic hub in the South Pacific region. You can fly into Suva’s International Airport at Nausori which primarily serves Australia and New Zealand, along with a handful of Pacific Islands as well as domestic and regional flights throughout Fiji. If you are travelling from Nadi you can get here by car or bus, or hop on a flight – it is only a short 25-minute flight from Nadi. Lured by its attractive deep harbour and abundant land, Fiji’s British colonists moved the capital of Fiji from Levuka here in 1882. As a major centre for trade since then, you’ll find many buildings from the British colonial era amongst the city’s more modern high-rise buildings. Be sure to spend time exploring our tropical metropolis with shopping malls, farmers markets, restaurants and entertainment.

MAMANUCA

Dangling off the coast of Nadi, this string of 20 idyllic islands are one of Fiji’s most popular and accessible islands destinations. Regular daily boat transfers from Port Denarau on Denarau Island and even shorter flights from Nadi Airport get you to the beach quickly with plenty of time to spare for exploring the island and its garland of coral reefs. With thriving reefs, epic waves and a tranquil lagoon at their doorstep, the region is a perfect playground for water babies.

Language

English is Fiji’s official language but you’ll often find that most people are bilingual – speaking Fijian or Hindustani as well.

Weather

There are two seasons here – warm and even warmer! It’s a sunny, tropical climate that’ll wash the winter chills from your bones.

From December to April, the temperatures are a comfortable 22° – 33°C.  But expect May to November to be slightly cooler with temperatures range from 19°- 29°C.
 

Electricity

The local electric current is 240 volts AC 50Hz. Fiji’s three-pin power outlets are identical to Australia and New Zealand. Most leading hotels and resorts have universal outlets for 240v or 110v shavers, hair dryers and other electrical appliances. Multi-purpose adapters and/or voltage converters can be purchased at some major department or hardware stores but if you are travelling to a remote area, it is probably wise to bring one with you.

Entry requirements

Effective 14 February 2023, international travellers arriving into Fiji by air or sea will no longer be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination and travel insurance to enter Fiji. 

Communication

Fiji’s country code is +679. Many hotels and resorts generally have direct dialling facilities (IDD).
