Fiji is the kind of place that lives up to every postcard. From glowing coral reefs and golden sunsets to vibrant culture and once-in-a-lifetime adventures, there’s truly something for every traveller. Whether you’re island-hopping through the Yasawas or chasing waterfalls in the highlands, here’s your limitless guide to the best things to do in Fiji.
Swim with Manta Rays
Between May and October, you can snorkel alongside majestic manta rays as they cruise through narrow channels between the islands. It’s peaceful, surreal, and easily one of Fiji’s most iconic wildlife experiences.
Explore the Sawa-I-Lau Caves
Hidden deep within the Yasawa Islands, these limestone caves are a natural wonder. Take a short boat ride, climb into the cave system, and swim through turquoise water surrounded by ancient rock formations. There’s even a secret underwater tunnel for the brave.
Sunset Tube Cruise
Hop into a giant inflatable tube, float along with a group, and watch the sun melt into the horizon. It’s one of the most fun (and surprisingly relaxing) ways to take in a Fiji sunset - with music, drinks, and good vibes guaranteed.
Swim with Reef Sharks
For the thrill-seekers, don’t miss the chance to swim with reef sharks in their natural environment. These graceful creatures are harmless to humans and provide an unforgettable underwater encounter that feels straight out of a documentary.
Go Island Hopping
With over 300 islands to explore, hopping from one paradise to the next is a must. From party vibes and adventure sports to remote beaches and peaceful villages, every island has its own personality.
Snorkel Vibrant Coral Reefs
Fiji is home to some of the most colourful coral reefs in the world. Strap on a snorkel and drift through crystal-clear waters alive with tropical fish, soft corals, and maybe even a sea turtle or two.
Hike to Island Summits
For those who love to explore on foot, guided summit hikes offer panoramic views over the surrounding islands and sea. These walks are ideal for sunrise or sunset and make for some incredible photo ops.
Enjoy a Beach Bonfire
End your day island-style with a beach bonfire. Sit under the stars, listen to live music or Fijian drumming, and share stories with fellow travellers. It’s the kind of night that becomes a core memory.
Visit Local Villages
Experience the real heart of Fiji by visiting a traditional village. Learn about Fijian customs, take part in a kava ceremony, and support local communities by purchasing handmade crafts or joining cultural activities.
Try Sea Kayaking & Paddleboarding
Glide over calm lagoons and explore hidden coves by kayak or paddleboard. It’s peaceful, scenic, and a great way to enjoy Fiji’s stunning coastline from a different angle.
Relax in a Hammock
Sometimes the best thing to do in Fiji is absolutely nothing. Find a shady hammock, grab a book or a cold drink, and just be. You’re on island time now.
