About Fiji
Fiji, an archipelago of 333 islands in the South Pacific, is the epitome of a tropical island paradise: turquoise lagoons, white coral beaches, swaying coconut palms, and a hospitality that has been elevated to a philosophy of life under the word Bula (Welcome). Only about 110 of the islands are inhabited, ensuring unspoiled nature experiences. The Mamanuca Islands west of the main island Viti Levu are Fiji's most popular travel destination: Here, the film Cast Away with Tom Hanks was shot, and the tiny island resorts offer barefoot luxury between coral reefs and palm forests. The Yasawa Islands are wilder and less developed — ideal for backpackers and adventurers hopping between the islands on the Yasawa Flyer. Taveuni, the Garden Island, is home to the Bouma National Park with its spectacular waterfalls. Fiji's underwater world is world-class: The rainbow reefs in Bligh Water are among the most colorful coral reefs on Earth, and manta ray encounters in the Somosomo Strait are a diver's dream. The Fijian culture, with its traditional Kava ceremony, Meke dances, and the earth-oven cooked Lovo feast, offers authentic experiences. May to October is the dry and cooler season — ideal for island hopping and water sports.
