With over 300 islands in its archipelago, Fiji is a diving and snorkeling paradise. Fringed with coral reefs and surrounded by warm blue waters, Fiji's true magic is found in you.
Though Fiji is a true South Pacific paradise, its true beauty is often found in the people, not simply the scenery. Fijian hospitality is known worldwide.
You are invited to visit the pristine beaches where you can swim side-by-side with large, harmless manta rays, snorkel through giant rainbow coral gardens or scuba dive the famous Astrolabe Reef.
Surfers from all over the world congregate in Fiji to enjoy the Cloud Breaker, a six-meter wave found offshore at Tavarua. Or simply float in the calm, warm waters of a tropical lagoon at sunset.
For those that prefer dry land, the big island of Viti Levu will thrill, with rushing mountain rivers and waterfalls in the depths of the tropical jungle.
Dance with the locals in a warm rain shower in the lush rainforest—Fijians live life for the joy of it all. You will find there is no rush and plenty of new friends to be made. Whether you choose to stay in a quaint guesthouse on the beach or a secluded, high-class resort, you will find that you never want to leave paradise.
