Destination Overview:
The Fiji Islands are made up of over 300 islands. Of these 300 islands, only about 100 are inhabited by humans….the rest are left as nature reserves. Still, the majority of the population lives in the rural areas and the outer islands. Fiji enjoys an ideal South Seas tropical climate. It is thus a perfect holiday destination. The climate is ideally suited for the outdoors, surf, and sand. Fiji is also a place for mystery and romance.

Diving Details:
Fiji’s 300 islands offer an unparalleled range of quality dive sites, and the sheer diversity of life on the Fijian reefs can be overwhelming. Fiji diving is available throughout many of the islands, although some areas are better than others. Taveuni, Kadavu, Vanua Levu, Viti Levu, and Loma Loma all offer fantastic diving with large pelagics, colorful soft corals, millions of fish, turtles, sharks, and giant clams.

Insider Information:
Allow yourself enough time in each area if you decide to visit different islands. Each island can be a trip in itself, and trying to pack too much in will be doing yourself a disservice. All islands have their own character. Ask our travel professionals and we’ll help you make an informed choice. Fiji’s people, lush gardens, and spectacular diving will have you planning a return visit as soon as you’re back home.
