All about Fiji
BULA ! (Hello in Fijian)
If you think about Fiji and picture an island oasis, you’d be spot on. Picture hammocks swaying in the breeze between two coconut trees, friendly, vibrant local culture and people, interesting villages and wild jungle that ends where bright beach begins. Fiji is set in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, less than 4 hours flight east of Brisbane and Sydney. It is made up of more than 330 islands and is surrounded by Vanuatu and New Caledonia to the west, Samoa and Tonga to the east and New Zealand to the south. Each of Fiji’s islands boast an incredible landscape. Lush tropical and pine vegetation is spread across the interior lands and white sandy beaches wrap around the coasts. Pristine blue-green waters house vibrant soft coral reefs and there are deep drop-offs, perfect for diving and fishing. Only just over 100 of the nation’s islands are permanently inhabited Its major islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu hold most of the country’s populace of nearly 900,000 people.
Fiji’s northern island boasts some of the world’s most well-preserved rainforests. Islands such as Vanua Levu, Qamea, Taveuni, and Laucala hold over 164 species of wildlife, many of which can only be found in Fiji.
Fiji is short 3-4 hour flight from Sydney and Brisbane, and is flown to and from daily by both Virgin and Fiji Airways. Both airlines are cost comparable but do arrive at different times of the day.
Fiji is an international flight so please make sure you have a passport.
