Fiji is warm all year, but May to October is the sweet spot with clear water, steady sunshine and perfect island-hopping weather. If you don’t mind a bit of tropical drizzle, the off-season comes with quieter beaches and great deals.
Most travellers get visa-free entry on arrival. You’ll just need a passport, proof of onward travel and the usual border-control smiles. Always check the latest entry guidelines before you fly.
Island hopping, sandbank swims, snorkelling reefs that look Photoshopped, day cruises, cultural village visits and that first sunset cocktail you swear is the best one ever. If you’re into adventure, add kayaking, diving or waterfall hikes.
A hundred percent. Fiji is famously friendly and the tours attract backpackers, gap-year explorers and island-life chasers. You’ll meet your crew fast, especially on multi-day island packages.
Swimmers, lightweight clothes, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and a reusable water bottle. Add flip-flops, a dry bag and something light for evenings. If you’re snorkelling, a GoPro is basically a must.
Totally. Most activities are super accessible, and guides are legends at making things easy and laid-back. Whether it’s your first time on a boat or your first time overseas, you’ll be looked after.
