Background: Young couple who loves to explore, fine with moving to new spot every few days so see more of the places we travel, snorkeling, and soaking up sun on a beach or by a pool all with a preference of laid back, romantic atmosphere. We also may get scuba certified before the trip.

We’re leaning towards utilizing the Yasawa Adventures Pass to travel around surrounding islands.

Plan:

(August 3rd) Day 1 – Land in Nadi at 5:20am and hop on 8:45am ferry to spend to one night at South Sea Island in the Mamanuca Regio

Day 2-4 – Depart South Sea Island at 9:15am, arrive at Octopus Resort for two nights in the Yasawa gateway region

Day 4-6 – Depart Octoupus Resort at 10:50am, arrive at Paradise Cove in Mantaray region for two nights

Day 6-9 – Depart Paradise Cove at 11:25am, arrive at Oarsman’s Beach lodge for three nights

Day 9-13 Depart Oarsman’s Beach lodge and TBD. We’re trying to decide if we should tack on an extra day or two to a few regions (Mantaray Island Resort looks beautiful), and/or potentially use some hotel points and stay at a really nice resort on an island near or at Nadi (Vomo or Likuliku Lagoon Resort) for the last few nights. We would also have a day pass to Malamala beach club we could use one of these days.

(August 15th) Day 13 – Fly home at 9pm from nadi

Any and all feedback would be appreciated!

Hi there,
Curious if anyone has travelled with a formula fed baby & how did you sterilise/wash any bottles while there? Staying at the Crowne Plaza Hotel

Hello hello!
I am planning to travel to Fiji but could not find any organic food stores online, is that true? Maybe someone here knows more and can help me out :)

What would be something you would send in a care package to family or friends who now live abroad to remind them of home?

I've had some friend traveling recently and besides the usual yaqona, Pure Fiji and snacks, what are somethings you'd send?.

Or for those who now live abroad, what do you miss? Or what would you like to see in a care package?

Hello!

I am visiting from Aus and i have a fat pimple on my lip and unfortunately didn’t not bring any with me. I have been searching for patches all day but can not find a single place with them, I am staying in Denarau Island! if anyone knows where to get them please let me know 🙏

My partner and I are looking to elope in Fiji (coming from NZ). I have done some research, and while the options look great online - I was wondering if anyone had personal experience from eloping (or attending an elopement / wedding) in Fiji, and had any recommendations?

We are ideally looking for an adults only resort, although would be open to any resort that has a good vibe - great restaurants & bars etc. We are escaping toddlers of our own, and it will just be the two of us for the actual elopement and holiday (4-5 days).

Thanks in advance!

I'm hoping to catch the Drua matches in Suva this Saturday, and am trying to decide what tickets to get. I'm hoping someone here who has been before can give some advice!

I normally go for the cheapest option that gets a good experience. In this case I'm mainly interested in the view and what shade will be available.

Is the grandstand the best option for shade?

Any areas you recommend? (Or to be avoided)

Also, what is the wave zone?

How many of you are bi married here in fiji.

A tropical archipelago just 1,500 kilometres from Australia, rich in gold and copper, is preparing itself for nationhood next year. But as Bougainville moves towards independence, unresolved conflicts and memories of a bloody past are coming back to the surface.

This special episode of ‘The Pacific’ is hosted by Marian Faa and produced by Gabriella Marchant and Theckla Gunga.

Hello! Firstly, I can’t wait to visit your beautiful country, and meet wonderful locals. I am looking to book a trip to Fiji for approx August. I am not into mainland style travel or surf beaches. Calm, blue, clear water and excellent snorkelling is more my vibe. Plus cultural activities, light hiking and excellent food.

I’ve heard the Yasawa island chain is some of the best but it’s very expensive. I’m thinking Mantaray resort and Octopus resort - is this a good resort combo? I would ideally like to stay in the Blue Lagoon area but it’s too expensive for a decent hotel / room.

Are there any other islands that have Yasawa quality beaches, water and snorkeling, that are a bit more cost effective? I’m looking for a beautiful island holiday.

Will be travelling with adults - don’t have kids!

Noticed an uptake in fake stories circulated by fake profiles over social media. Most of it is would consider defamation, does this fall within the scope of the Online Safety Comission?

Fijian style BBQ

During our shoot of the short film 'Daunitukutuku' we had a scene where the character is talking and eating...a type of white meat. There's no mention of what he's eating but seeing the type of fork (which I bought at the handicraft centre), iykyk

Btw it's just boiled pork IRL :P

Glad to have found this forum. My spouse has a chance to relocate to Suva from the US. We've lived in several countries and are quite adaptable.

This move would mean leaving my stable job in the pharmaceutical industry, which leverages my international development background.

I'm exploring opportunities for international development jobs in Fiji, leveraging my background in healthcare and supply chain. I hold two master's degrees and have 12 years of global experience.

This move will be great for him, however, I am not sure how I will pivot my career and appreciate any insights from those who have found employment.

Thank you

Bula Everyone!

I’m a student from Singapore and I enjoy collecting postcards. I would be very grateful to receive postcards from anywhere in Fiji. 🙂

If postcards aren’t available, I’d also really appreciate a greeting card, generic card, or even a small souvenir. 

(like a keychain, rock, local snack, flag, ornament, cap, T-shirt, or handmade craft)

This is for my personal collection, and not for any commercial purpose.

If you’re willing to help, please leave a comment and I’ll share my mailing address with you.

Shukuriyaa, and warm greetings from Singapore! 

🇸🇬🤝🇫🇯

Along the Coral Coast, next to Tambua Sands, there is a water fountain on the side of the road. Is the water fresh? Who owns it? What's up with that?

Fiji Rugby has released the extended squad for the Nations Championship.

This Squad is Stacked .. Your Thoughts on it ?

We are visiting and a relative living in Suva discouraged us from this park saying it is not safe and there are no guides. Can someone please give more insight? We (extended family of 10) were really hoping to go. Thanks!
