Fiji

Fiji in the South Pacific consists of more than 330 islands. Nearly 90% of the total population lives on the two main islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Almost three-quarters live in the capital Suva and on the southern coast of Viti Levu in smaller urban centers such as Nadi, where tourism is the largest local industry, or Lautoka, where the sugar cane industry is dominant.

Other islands and island groups include Taveuni and Kadavu, the third and fourth largest islands respectively of the Mamanuca Group, just off Nadi, and the Yasawa Group, both of which are very popular tourist destinations. The islands are mountainous, with peaks reaching up to 1 metres (324 ft) and covered with dense tropical forests. The highest point is Mount Tomanivi on Viti Levu.

Fiji has a colorful and rather violent history but is today a true paradise for adventure, diving, sunbathing and meeting amazing people. The country was once called the “Cannibal Islands”.

The best or most comfortable time to dive in Fiji is during the dry season. This is when you have calm seas and good visibility. The wet season is normally warmer in the water and there is a lot of activity in the marine life but expect some days with bad weather to make diving impossible. Visibility is normally poor with plankton blooms but you can see species such as whale sharks, manta rays, turtles and tuna.

When and where are liveaboards and safaris available in Fiji?

There is a good liveaboard in Fiji. It is popular and often fully booked well in advance. There may be occasional places but we recommend booking at least two years in advance, especially for the longer trips.

Extra nights on site

You will almost certainly need a number of extra nights on the road or on site when you go on a liveaboard in Fiji. The flights from Scandinavia are unlikely to match the liveaboards perfectly and to guard against delays and problems with luggage we recommend that you have at least a couple of nights before your liveaboard. Depending on your flight times you may need extra nights both before your liveaboard departs but sometimes also after. It may be necessary to stay overnight on the way from and to Fiji but also convenient depending on the airline times
