Reasons To
Visit Fiji

  • Culture

    Fiji is considered the most multicultural of all the South Pacific countries. Today Indigenous Fijians make up 50 percent of the country's population, while Indo-Fijians make up 45 percent. Indo-Fijians are descendants of Indian labourers brought to the islands by the British in the nineteenth century. There are also small groups of Europeans, Chinese and other Pacific Island minorities.

    Fiji, with its warm clear waters and its abundance of reef life offers some of the worlds most spectacular diving. Diving is the best way to discover Fiji’s richest diversity of fauna, with hundreds of species of magnificently coloured and fantastically shaped hard coral found within the reefs and protected lagoons as well as parrot fish, clown fish sting rays, barracuda and reef sharks.

  • Kava

    Yaqona drinking otherwise known as Kava is a big part of Fijian life and is in fact the national drink. The Kava plant is an infusion prepared from the root of the pepper plant. It is also a mild narcotic and after a few drinks one may feel a slight numbness of the lips!
