Fiji offers two of the most beautiful reefs: The Great Astrolabe Reef and The Great Sea Reef. The Great Astrolabe Reef is the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef which curls around the southern island of Kadavu. The Great Sea Reef is a coral reef off the northwestern island of Vanua Levu. Both of the reefs have wonderful snorkeling opportunities, where you’ll have the opportunity to view an abundance of wildlife, including eagle and manta rays, green turtles, and spinner dolphins.

2. River & Cave Safaris

Learn local customs and hear legendary tales on the Sigatoka River. All of these things can be done while exploring the lush jungles via river and cave safaris.

3. Kids’ Clubs

Fiji is a wonderful getaway for families and the resort kids’ clubs can be a great part of that experience! Most Fiji resorts, excluding the adults-only options, offer a wide variety of fun activities for children, including educational games and adventures that take advantage of the natural beauty of the islands.

4. Tropical Spas

A part of Fijian tradition and culture, the kava ceremony can be experienced when visiting a local tribe.

It’s a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture.

6. Island Hopping
