It’s hard to properly encapsulate the magic of the South Pacific until you have experienced a Fiji holiday. With a rich cultural history and some truly spectacular natural sights, this island nation is brimming with places to see and things to do. In fact, with so much adventure and romance crammed into such a small area of land, it can feel overwhelming to know exactly where to start when planning your Fiji holiday.
Thankfully, Spacifica Travel is here to help. Our team use our inside-out knowledge of Fiji's best spots and attractions to better inform travellers about the things they absolutely cannot miss during their getaway. While this list could be nearly endless, we have chosen 10 of our favourite things for you to do on your next Fiji holiday.
Fly Above the Mamanuca Islands
Take a helicopter ride over the gorgeous Mamanuca Islands, taking in all their beauty from a bird’s eye view. From this high up, you will feel like a bird soaring above the gorgeous island, with all of Fiji spread out below. Taking a helicopter ride is on the pricier side, but the experience is worth every cent!
Immerse Yourself in a Banana Leaf Massage
At the end of a long day adventuring, you will feel the need to unwind, relax, and spend some time reflecting on all that you have done. So why not cleanse away the stress with an authentic Fijian banana leaf massage? As the name suggests, this massage literally has you wrapped up in a giant banana leaf. It may sound odd to some, but the results can’t be argued with. You are sure to leave the session feeling completely refreshed and renewed.
Go Snorkelling at Castaway Island
While Castaway Island is beautiful in its own right, it's what lies below the surface that truly astounds. The underwater wonderland underneath Castaway Island’s turquoise waters is just waiting to be explored by adventurous snorkelers. Grab your gear, dive in, and immerse yourself amongst some of the most vibrant reefs and sea life in Fiji.
Engage Your Inner Tarzan
Become the king or queen of the jungle with any one of Fiji’s breath-taking canopy tours. Here, you can play among the treetops, get up close with some of Fiji’s beautiful native bird life, and zip-line your way from tree to tree. These tours are loads of fun for the whole family and allow you to experience Fiji from a unique point of view.
Go Skydiving
For a real heart-in-your-mouth experience, why not try your hand at skydiving? It’s only for the real thrill seekers out there, but skydiving does more than just give you a rush of adrenaline. It also gives you the best seat in the house to take in all the beautiful majesty of Fiji and its surrounding coral reefs.
Unwind on Wakaya Island
For something a little less extreme, consider spending your Fiji holiday on Wakaya Island. Largely untouched by human influences and encapsulating all of Fiji’s magic into one place, Wakaya Island is a slice of heaven that invites you to live life at your own pace. While you can spend the days snorkelling, hiking or kayaking, there’s also nothing stopping you from finding a shady spot on a peaceful beach with your favourite book and allowing the island’s serenity to wash over you.
Go on a Romantic Sunset Cruise
Fiji is ripe with romance and nowhere is the love felt stronger than on an unforgettable sunset cruise. On these magical cruises you and your significant other can sail across the pristine waters, enjoying a romantic meal, each other’s company, and of course, a picturesque sunset. Whether you wish to propose to your partner or are celebrating decades of being together, you can’t go wrong with one of Fiji’s many sunset cruises.
Visit the Garden of the Sleeping Giant
To keep the romance and magic going, consider paying a visit to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant. This magnificent garden has over 40 varieties of Asian orchards practically bursting with colour and vibrancy. You can easily spend an entire morning or afternoon browsing the pristine lawns of this garden, leaving you in awe of everything it has to show.
Enrich Your Cultural Knowledge by Visiting Nadi
Few places better capture the rich cultural diversity of Fiji better than the town of Nadi. Strolling through Nadi’s streets is like having a guided tour of Fiji’s best spots. Around every corner you will find a delicious dining spot or bustling market just waiting to be explored.
Go for a Hike in Nature
There are so many great places to go for a hike in Fiji. Some of our favourite hiking spots include:
- Bouma National Heritage Park
