All about Fiji

When to visit

Fiji’s peak season runs May–October when the weather is warm and dry. It’s a busy season, and accommodation prices tend to rise. The higher temperatures and rains in November–April mean this time of year is less popular. However, some travelers are happy to endure a bit of rain in exchange for quieter surroundings, clear blue water, and idyllic beaches. There are many yearly festivals, but the 9-day Hibiscus Festival on Viti Levu in August is one of the oldest.

Getting around

There are plenty of ways to explore Fiji, which is composed of two main islands and hundreds of smaller ones. The main islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu have public buses that operate within the cities and between the towns. If you’re heading further afield, ferries and small planes connect to the smaller islands of the archipelago. Taxis are also widely available. If you rent a car, remember that Fiji is a left-hand drive country.

Traveler tips

Decompress after your flight at the Sabeto Hot Springs and Mud Pool—this locally owned, unpretentious spot is the perfect place to relax and unwind. After soaking in the spring and soothing your muscles, you can enjoy a mud wrap followed by a traditional Fijian massage. The hot springs are located on the main island of Viti Levu, between the cities of Lautoka and Nadi.
