Fiji is borne of the stuff dreams are made of, a truly unparalleled collection of white sand, clear blue beaches lining the coast of 322 island collection. Indulge in posh resorts and delectable foods after a day of snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, or kayaking. Fiji’s social grain consists of an array of Indian, Chinese, and European ethnicities mixing with Polynesian customs and traditions to form a unique, all inclusive culture. These beautiful islands are noticeably lacking in typical urban touristy attractions favoring an ambiance of relaxation, indulgence, and escape.

Picture, if you will, an intimate private island accented with rolling displays of lush, tropical hills with the sounds of crystal clear waters lapping ashore the white sand beaches. At night, voices sing to the rhythms of precise, uniform beat of drums and hand claps of the festive and visually enchanting Meke, the traditional dance of Fiji. More can be found within the many museums displaying the various aspects of Fiji’s Polynesian culture featuring cultural attire, craftsmanship, and the hierarchical history of Fiji’s social structure.   Enjoy Fiji’s natural wildlife, history, and discover ultimate art of relaxation among its waterfront landscape. Scuba diving among the marine life in Beqa Lagoon or Rainbow Reef provides a unique view of Fiji from the water. Adventurous folk might try their hand against the famous Cloudbreak wave, surfing right off the shore of Tavarua. Other outdoor excursions include watersports, trekking, and wildlife watching.

Weather:  The sun is almost always shining on the Fiji Islands, save for the rainy season, which, in truth, only lasts for several days per year. During the winter, the Fijian sun shines brighter and hotter creating a thick, sweet smelling air ideal for its indigenous flora and fauna. In the summer season, the moisture lightens up and the climate is a bit dryer and lighter. Whatever the case, Fiji’s weather accommodates travelers regardless of the season, making any time of year an excellent time to visit

Cuisine: No exotic vacation would be complete without a sample, of unique and delicious Fijian cuisine.

Fiji is also famous for their traditional cooking process, the earth oven, where food is wrapped in banana leaves and buried in the earth for preparation.
