Fiji is a haven for water sports lovers. The islands have world renowned Scuba Diving sites with some of the best soft corals anywhere in the world. Surfing is also world class with several international tournaments held in the islands. Specialist resorts and live aboard charters are available for both scuba divers and surfers.
The close proximity of the 300 plus islands makes Fiji an excellent Kayaking destination and there are some fantastic places for a Sailing holiday . Yacht charters are available and many resorts have small catamarans for guest use. Game fishing is excellent year round with Marlin and Tuna the popular large game.
The main centre for casual water activities is in the Mamanuca Group, just off Nadi International Airport, where anyone can enjoy jet skiing, windsurfing, para-sailing and water-skiing. There are lots of day cruises departing Denarau (10 minutes from Nadi Airport). Some tours offer stopovers at one of the resort islands where day-trippers can use the resort facilities for a small fee, or visit uninhabited islands for a day of snorkelling. These trips are an excellent way of seeing the islands and their magnificent beaches and lagoons.
Fiji also offers a great variety of land activities. All around the islands there is great hiking, with National Parks on Viti Levu and Taveuni in the Northern Islands... more on hiking
Self Drive Tours
The main island of Viti Levu is ideal for exploring by car and has a number of attractions from the beaches of the Coral Coast, the capital of Suva and the remote north coast with traditional villages. The island takes about 8 hours non-stop to travel around but is best explored with time. The scenery is very attractive and varied with rolling coastal hills along the western side of the island and dense rainforest on the eastern side. Accommodation is readily available along the coastal road. There are several roads into the interior which are good for exploring. Although the interior roads are not tar sealed they are generally accessible except after heavy rains. The Nausori Highlands inland from Nadi Airport and the Sigatoka Valley Road inland from the Coral Coast are of particular beauty and both have reasonably good access. Car hire is available in Nadi, Sigatoka and Suva and a few companies offer round-the-island tours and 4-wheel adventures into the interior.
To drive in Fiji you will need a valid driving license from your home country. Car rental companies are available from Nadi Airport, Nadi Town and other towns on Viti Levu. Driving is on the left.
