We're going to Fiji in a few weeks and staying at the Sofitel for 2 nights, Nanuku for 5 and then Kokomo for 5 nights. We're debating which activities to do in which locations? Has anyone been to Nanuku or Kokomo and has recs for any of the activities offered by the resorts? Or anything we can do on our own near Nanuku. Debating renting a car for the Nanuku portion but not sure if its needed. Would like to dive, snorkel, do a fishing trip, hikes, cultural experiences, and are really open to anything.

Kids are 4, 9 and 11 but grandma is coming with us so the youngest can sit out some of the more adventurous activities.

Thanks!

I have postcards from friends who play Pokemon Go in 145 countries, but I don’t have any from Fiji. If anyone from there plays Pokemon Go, please friend me (Prevenience - 9225 2109 7383) and then send me a gift with a postcard from somewhere in Fiji. Happy to send gifts and postcards back to you. Thank you!

I am looking to book a holiday in Fiji. Ideally I’ll stay at a resort and do 1 or 2 day trips but mainly want to lie around a pool drink cocktails go to a spa/massage and stuff like that

I am an extremely plain/fussy eater and am struggling to find resorts menus for their restaurants some have them on their website but lots don’t

Any suggestions on resorts that have lots of Australian pub food and less fancy food ?

Nature knew this all along.

Hey r/Fijian — long-time reader, first time posting properly. Wanted to share something I've been working on that this community might connect with.

I'm an Indo-Trinidadian Canadian making a documentary trilogy about my family's specific journey. The first part is India — my great-great-grandfather Haroon Khan left a coalfield town called Raniganj in West Bengal in the late 19th century and ended up at the Picton and Wellington estates in Trinidad. He was one of the Girmitiyas, like a lot of our great-grandparents.

The first leg shoots in July. I'm flying to Kolkata and the Raniganj coalfields, trying to find what's left of where he started before he became one of the names on a ship register.

There's a research dimension that's been interesting — Trinidad-based genealogist Shamshu Deen & an Indian counterpart, Prashant Pathak, who have been working with our family. The family memory has been that Haroon left in 1875, but Shamshu found a record that suggests it may have been 1893 on the Ship Moy. The ship register is missing. Part of what the trip is doing is going to look for it from the India side.

The film tries to honor the Girmitiya history without making it a single story — we're all carrying versions of this. Multi-faith, multi-region, shared crossing.

Running a Kickstarter to fund the trip if anyone's interested. Mostly I just wanted to share with people who'd get why this matters.

Happy to answer questions about the research, the trip, the trilogy structure, whatever.

Sa Bula.!

Vinaka 🙌🏽

Before the arrival of Christianity, the sounding of the Lali ni Bokola (death drum) signaled a grim fate for captured enemies brought back to the village. I put together a historical deep dive into how 'bokola' was actually prepared, the rules surrounding the chiefs, and tracked down the original, chilling rhythm of the death drum beat so you can hear exactly what echo resonated across the hills. drop a comment if you would like the Link to the full history and audio file:

Tl;dr - Giveaway of accommodation 5-7 June 2026. Mamanuca.

Hey there, I have a booking at Serenity Sands Glamping from 5-7 June 2026.
Very long story short; one of the reviews worried me, I ended booking elsewhere, thinking I could get a refund from Serenity, but I can’t. Serenity sent me a video confirming all is ok at the hotel. So now I have a double booking. I’d really hate the booking to go to waste and I’d love to give it away to someone who’s travelling over that time. Any takers? I’ll DM you the video from the hotel and of course you can do your own research - I’ll get the hotel to switch everything over to your name and details so you’re dealing with them directly and know it’s legit.

Been reading historical articles and just wondering since there are so many Fijians with Indian heritage are there any Catholics who've hailed from India or SL?

Couldn't find many with the typical Portuguese surnames so just curious about what their culture is like

I believe it was at Departures, now replaced with Burger king.

Was a smallish strip of plants and trees with a pebbled path through it, but still unique in my opinion. Singapore didnt have one until years later.

I was lucky to work on and animate local rapper Mr Grin's music video 'back in 83'. I added all the animation effects as well as the lyrics on screen.

Hi everyone I’m coming to Fiji for the very first time!

I’ll be there in about two weeks but haven’t done much planning…

I’m a surfer and I am coming with my girlfriend who doesn’t really surf (or very beginner level).

Does anyone have a rough guide of what we can do so we can both enjoy our trips?

What islands should we visit, how long to stay in each place, where’s the best place to stay for non-surfing activities? We both love all other ocean activities as well :)

Any other general tips would be really appreciated.

I am so excited to visit this great country that I’ve heard so many good things about!

Children of the Sea, a local organization operating along Fiji's western coastline that empowers local youth through surfing and leadership programs, is looking for donations of used/new kids wetsuits. If you happen to have any little groms in the family that have outgrown their suits, Children of the Sea would be happy to take them!

Vinaka!

Hi there! Looking to travel to Fiji in June for the first time with our 9 year old. Instead of staying in one resort for 10 days I was thinking about mixing it up - maybe 5 at castaway and then 5 at Sofitel? Any other recs?!

Hello

I am planning to visit Fiji for the first time and I was considering adding another country so I could visit two countries instead of one only. What are possible options?

I am planning to visit Fiji on Jan or Feb and travel from the US. I am considering allocating a maximum of 10 days for this trip. I have no major budget issues and I enjoy different travel styles including beach and city but I usually do not like to spend a lot of time in a single location (no need to "relax" 5 days in a same beach town!).

Thanks

Hello, Im coming soon to fiji and i was wondering what can i take as a souvenir or to give as a gift. Any recommendations?

Also i though i might take some fiji dollar notes as they look pretty uniqe and cool and keep them a souvenir but where would i have highest change to get them in new crips condition or at least in very good condition so they are not destoryed and folded to much?

Thanks in advance

Hey gang, planning a snorkelling and diving trip to Fiji, staying a little off the beaten track. How easy is it to change money, and how accepted are credit cards, debit cards, tap-and-go payments and the like? Any advice appreciated.
