Overview
Most trips start in Nadi, on the resort strip along Denarau Island, and branch out from there by boat.
A few days on the mainland covers the golf courses and spas; add island hopping through the Mamanucas or Yasawas for the reefs and beaches that made Fiji's reputation in the first place.

Travel Guide
What our travel experts want you to know before you go
01
Avoid Cyclone Season
November through April brings the highest rain and storm risk. May through October is drier, cooler, and calmer for boat trips.
02
"Fiji Time" Is Real
Ferries, transfers, and restaurant service run on a relaxed local clock, so build slack into any inter-island itinerary.
03
Denarau Isn't All of Fiji
The resort strip near Nadi is convenient but insulated. A day trip to a local village or outer island shows a different side of the country.
04
When to Go
May through October is the dry season, with cooler temperatures and the clearest water for diving and snorkeling.
