# 6 days and best views in Fiji Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
bosboy73 02:22 UTC 13 Jun 2008 | So I'm heading to Fiji in a couple of weeks for 6 days and was wondering where to catch the best views. Beaches... seascapes... mountains. I've read up a bit and I was thinking maybe a 3-day cruise to the Yasawas and Mananucas, another couple of days in Taveuni and Savusavu and maybe a visit to Navala and the highlands on the last day. Are these the best sights or are there others I should aim for? I'll get an Air Fiji pass so I should be able to get around with ease. Thanks |
Laszlo 08:01 UTC 13 Jun 2008 | The places you've listed would offer a good selection of the best views in Fiji indeed, but even with an air-pass, I still find visiting 1 island per day "a bit" too rushed. | 1
raro 08:38 UTC 13 Jun 2008 | I agree with Laszlo, that's a lot of traveling for 6 days. IMHO I'd just pick two spots and spend three days in each. Maybe that 3-day cruise, then a few days on the main island or maybe around Savasavu and the SE coast of Vanua Levu. | 2
bosboy73 13:26 UTC 27 Jul 2008 | It was cool. Did the Lavena coastal walk on Taveuni and then went to the 180-degree line, bummed around Savusavu for a day, headed up to Navala on the 3rd day and went island hopping for 3 days in the Yasawas. It wasn't too terribly rushed for 6 days but another day on each of Taveuni, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu would have been nice. I don't dive yet so the next time I go back I'll hopefully be doing that. Heard the Rainbow Reef etc. are awesome. | 3
raro 00:20 UTC 28 Jul 2008 | Glad to hear you had a good trip. I guess if one is flying locally, it is a lot more "do-able" without feeling too rushed. | 4
