A Fiji Vacation
Offers Adventure Sports, Beaches & Sightseeing
Some tropical islands sound too good to be
true and Fiji, which is actually made up of over 300 islands, falls into
that category. Situated in the South Pacific Ocean, the islands offer a
haven, away from the bustling world outside. A Fiji vacation can be used
to relax on the beach, go sightseeing or to indulge in adventure sports.
The tropical weather brings sunshine for most of the time with some
showers which are quickly over. Fiji has one of the lowest crime rates
in the world and has eliminated major tropical diseases including
malaria. English, Bau Fijian, Hindi and Urdu are the languages spoken.
The two main islands are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.
The scenery is wonderful with rainforest, beaches, clear waters and
coral reefs. People love to snorkel here, sometimes swimming with manta
rays or to scuba dive round the Astrolabe Reef. You can hire jet boats
or go rafting over the rapids. Hikers love to explore the forests and
caves. The Nadia Area is a favorite haunt of surfers. This region is
where the airport is sited and there is a market here, which specializes
in hand, crafted souvenirs. There is something for everyone on a Fiji
vacation.
The Coral Coast is known for its beautiful lagoons and beaches. This is
where the sugar cane is grown. The northern coast is referred to as The
Sunshine Coast. It has a dry climate and rugged, mountainous scenery.
Pacific Harbor was developed as a tourist attraction for a Fiji vacation
and contains an 18-hole championship golf course. Known as the Adventure
Capital of Fiji, there is also diving sites nearby and it's a favorite
with fishing enthusiasts. You can go on a boat trip down the Navua River
and see the waterfalls and villages. Other sporting opportunities here
include horseback riding, water skiing, windsurfing, sea kayaking and
jet skiing. There are also live shows, shops, restaurants and fire
walking displays.
Suva is the capital of the islands and has more urban attractions. There
are shops, restaurants and nightclubs. It still has its share of markets
to give local flavor and cultural museums. Sightseeing tours can be
booked from here. The town gives another insight into a Fiji vacation,
with its historical interest and mixture of contemporary and colonial
architecture.
The islands are a fascinating blend of traditional culture, history,
adventure and modern amenities. There is a wide choice of accommodation
to suit different pockets. A Fiji vacation is a plane ride away to
friendly islanders and incredibly blue lagoons.
