Best Travel Destinations - Fiji
Fiji is a country with over three hundred islands, which can beg the question of which islands to visit. Whatever your choice, the one phenomenon not to be missed—regardless of age, money or familiarity—is snorkelling! Fiji snorkelling is unparalleled with its warm clear waters and spectacular array of coral reefs. Flying into Nadi International Airport on the main island of Fiji is an incredible sight as an endless number of islands sprawl for miles in the distance. Among them is the tropical paradise of Robinson Crusoe Island. Framed by teal-alluring waters, Robinson Crusoe Island is a tiny island which can be covered in under a half an hour and has a maximum of fifty people allowed on it at one time. With free kayak and ...
Nestled in the middle of nowhere, in the wide, blue Pacific Ocean, Fiji is a prime destination to just get away from it all. Sandy beaches, gorgeous sunsets and cheap food and drink are just some of the attractions of this little island nation. Most unique among these attractions, however, has to be the national drink of kava. If you've never heard of it, kava (which is also known as Yaqona, or grog) is a drink made from the root of a pepper called piper methstyicum.

The summit is the tallest peak on Kuata Island: the southernmost island in the Yasawas. Being a volcanic group of islands, the Yasawa Islands boast stunning views of endless lagoons and beach-meets-mountain terrain that is perfect for the infamous summit walks. Kuata Natural Island Resort is the only resort on the uninhabited Kuata Island, owned by village members on nearby Wayasewa who designated it a nature sanctuary. Some staff members live on the resort, while others kayak over from the neighboring island of Waya ...
It's sunset just after dinner on the Korovou Eco Tour Resort in the beautiful Yasawa Islands of Fiji, and the local Fijian Bula dancers are ready to play. Most of the tourists reluctantly head to the centre, realizing they don't have a choice. I, on the other hand, giggle in anticipation of the fun we're about to have. The Bula Dance, created by the more touristy resorts of Fiji, is in no way traditional. As opposed to the Meke, Fiji's cultural ceremonial dance involving voices and symbolic movements, the Bula Dance loosely follows the structure of the Macarena. It's performed in a single line with the Bula Boys: a group of three to five young, local men (usually the same ones taking you on various ...
