Fiji Holidays
Fiji holidays offer an escape to a tropical paradise. Lose yourself in the beauty of the palm-fringed beaches and clear lagoons, and explore the underwater world that’s filled with coloured soft corals and spectacular marine life.
Experience your Fiji holiday on the islands of Mamanuca or Yasawa. Beautiful, sunlit and fringed by stunning coral reefs, these islands will offer you a picture-perfect tropical getaway.
For an unforgettable adventure, try your hand at kitesurfing or windsurfing, or sail a catamaran out into the calm lagoon. For something different, take a day trip to the small, uninhabited island of Monuriki. Not only is it famed for being the film site of the 2001 Tom Hanks film Cast Away, Monurkiki is also strikingly beautiful, with a wide lagoon and pine forest landscape. It’s the perfect place to spot native wildlife, including the Fijian crested iguana, and wedge-tailed shearwaters.
Fiji holidays: a slice of paradise
Discover Fiji’s best-kept secret at Vanua Levu, a remote island home to rugged coastline and extensive coral reefs. Less frequented by tourists, this idyllic island escape is perfect for those wishing to explore rural Fiji. Walk the dirt tracks of Vanua Levu and find yourself amazed by the mountain passes and flowing waterfalls.
Visit Viti Levu, Fiji’s largest Island, where you can explore the Garden of The Sleeping Giant. This horticultural paradise is blooming with colour, sun and shade. Brimming with flowers and lush green forest, this is the perfect place for a stroll, a picnic and to spend a day taking in the stunning sights.
Keen hikers or walkers should also spend a day at Bouma National Heritage Park, which is home to the unmissable Tavoro Waterfalls. Framed by thick, flourishing greenery, these jungle waterfalls are simply beautiful, with natural swimming pools that are perfect for cooling off after a hike.
Spend your holidays in Fiji exploring the magic of the underwater world. Go scuba diving and witness the wonderful sight of the brightly-coloured rainbow reef - this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
This adventure is perfect for both novice and experienced divers. You’ll also see the Great White Wall - a vertical drop off that is aptly-named for the soft white coral that covers it like snow.
If you’re looking for a multi-centre holiday, pair your Fiji experience with Sydney, Australia, a short four and a half hour flight from Nadi, Viti Levu. Don’t miss Australia’s most recognisable landmarks in this harbour city, including the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

“When visiting Fiji, listen out for the national greeting, ‘bula’ (pronounced boo-lah). It can be translated as ‘hello’, ‘goodbye’, ‘welcome’ and ‘love’, although it literally means ‘life’. ‘Bula’ is also said after someone sneezes, similarly to ‘bless you’.”
