What to do in Fiji

The perfect setting for a Blue Lagoon holiday (both the 1949 and 1980 movie versions were shot in Fiji), this postcard-ready South Pacific archipelago encompasses over 300 islands. It’s estimated that over a third of Fiji’s isles are uninhabited, and 87 percent of the country’s population inhabit only two of them (Viti Levu and Vanua Levu). That all adds up to an incredible array of remote, empty, and palm-lined beaches for a die-hard beach lover to choose among.

Fat Paddler rates Fiji

Fiji is both a tropical paradise and a third world country, so keep that in mind when visiting. If you stay in the resorts you will pay top international prices for everything and be shielded from the general poverty - if you want to see the real Fiji, get out and visit local villages. The island is beautiful, but the surrounding coral reefs are just amazing. Snorkling, sailing, paddling - this is a great place to engage in water activities. Fijians are crazy about children so if you are looking for a good family holiday, Fiji is really good. Almost all the resorts offer kids clubs or nanny services, which are well worth taking up. If you drive through the countryside locals often sell fresh produce on the road. Stop and buy some, it supports the locals and the fruit is amazing. The small golden pineapples are the sweetest you'll ever try
