# 3 weeks in November Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
vicki_07 18:33 UTC 13 Sep 2012 | Hi Myself and my friend will be travelling to Fiji for 3 weeks in mid november, we have our 1st nights accomodation booked...but up to now thats all. Would you recommend booking all accomodation and island hopping passes before we go or is it just as easy to sort things out once there? Also could anyone recommend any specific islands there is soooo much to choose from, we are looking for fun, culture and relaxation. Thank you Vicki |
kenko 20:53 UTC 13 Sep 2012 | Hi Vicki, Scroll down to "Fiji Help and Advice" 8/21 and "Three Weeks in Fiji" 8/4. The first one is for backpackers, the second one moderate-expensive suggestions. If you're travelling on the Yasawa Flyer boat- the rule is you should have your accoms pre-booked. Cheers! | 1
Laszlo 23:34 UTC 13 Sep 2012 | Mind you, there is definitely no need to prebook all your accommodation from home. You can even book them right on board the Flyer. In fact I think it would be foolish to book everything in advance, as you will only know which places you like most once there. Also, prior bookings include a 30% commission for the booking agent, and you may pay that much less if you negotiate subsequent nights directly with your accommodation"s owners. | 2

You should not have any problems. If you guys are young and want to have some fun, check out Beachcomber island. Have a great trip! | 3
