nathanroberto 21:34 UTC 09 Feb 2007 | hey guys, I am going to Fiji for 9 to 10 days. I am looking for a good mixture of places to go that gives me a good experience of Fiji. I like parting, but not too much. I am a budget traveller, so tips for keeping your costs down are welcome. What do you think. What are good places to go to that gives me a good experience of Fiji in 9 to 10 days? Any advice is welcome. thanx! Nathan |
unitedtravel 23:04 UTC 09 Feb 2007 | Head for the mananuca and yasawas islands. | 1
jirikoo 09:50 UTC 10 Feb 2007 | Yes, if you wanna spend most of your time with other travellers go west, if rather with genuine hospitality from locals go east. in either case enjoy jirikoo | 2
oldpro 14:16 UTC 10 Feb 2007 | <blockquote>Quote <hr>What are good places to go to that gives me a good experience of Fiji in 9 to 10 days?<hr></blockquote> as #3 says, if what you mean by Fiji experience is a holiday with other vacationers, then go to the Yasawas. If you mean Fiji the country, then head west. The island of Ovalau off the west coast of Viti Levu has a lot of variety -- jungle hikes, colonial town of Levuka, some reef island resorts at Caqalai and Leleuvia. | 3
nathanroberto 22:09 UTC 10 Feb 2007 | Thanx guys! I am looking for some mixture between having a holiday with other vacationers and the Fijian country. I think I am going to take a couple of islands in the Yasawas / Mamanucas and then head to the east of Vita Levu for Ovalau. I am looking forward to it! Thanks for the advice! | 4
raro 04:46 UTC 11 Feb 2007 | re #4: "If you mean Fiji the country, then head west. The island of Ovalau off the west coast of Viti Levu has a lot of variety -- jungle hikes, colonial town of Levuka, some reef island resorts at Caqalai and Leleuvia." It's probably a typo, but Ovalau is off the EAST coast of Viti Levu. And I think heading EAST will find less tourists, and more genuine Fijian experiences. | 5
oldpro 11:36 UTC 11 Feb 2007 | #6 yes, although it was more a result of scrambled thinking than just a typo | 6
raro 10:30 UTC 12 Feb 2007 | oldpro---"scrambled thinking" fits in well with Fiji these days! (govt-wise) | 7
i_want_summer 07:00 UTC 21 Feb 2007 | cheapie ideas- if you are a drinker take your full duty free alcohol allowance to the islands. As said previously: Yasawas are awesome to meet RTW travellers... | 8
