Fiji

...Lush tropical jungles, secluded waterfalls, amazing corals, beautiful sunsets...

Fiji is one of our favorite places to escape the winter in Sydney and we’ve done 2 trips so far.  As an archipelago with over 300 islands, there’s lots of options, which makes you want to visit more than once.  It also has one of the best arrival experiences with live music in the arrivals hall and greetings of “Bula!” with huge smiles.  

Its major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, contain most of the population.  Just a boat and/or plane transfer will get you to one of the many remote, secluded islands to relax and recharge whilst enjoying fabulous hikes, kayaking, snorkelling, and diving.

Here are highlights (DINK Trip Tips) from our trips so far...for more details or to help plan your own visit, contact us!

Taveuni (northeast of Viti Levu)

• Epic diving with fantastic hard coral and soft fan corals and TONS of fish...some of the best diving we’ve ever done
• Serene kayaking through torquoise waters to uninhabited Honeymooner’s Island for a romantic picnic lunch and fantastic snorkeling
• Adrenaline filled ocean kayaking followed by hiking through the lush forests to big waterfalls down the coast
• Fabulous small, intimate, non-resort beachside bure-style accommodation with a private white sand beach and super friendly staff (Coconut Grove)

Waya Island in the Yasawa Island chain (northwest of Viti Levu)

• Spectacular views while hiking to the other side of the island
• Amazing sunsets on the beautiful white sand beach
• Fun nights at the resort featuring communal dinners and nightly activities (e.g., quiz night was a hit)

Ono Island in the Kadavu Archipelago (south of Liti Levu)

• Idyllic, underdeveloped island with no roads that is only accessible by boat taxis
• Sensational diving at the Great Astrolabe Reef with lots of swim-throughs and bommies
• Peaceful kayaking to nearby islands, one of which had a small village ​
