8 Days in Figi - Help!

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji

Hi,

I am arriving in Figi on the 23rd July and leave on the 31st July.

On my trip I am interested in both chilling out and also partying occasionally as well.

Can any one recommend how I should spend these 8 days as to be honest I have no idea which islands to go to, how to get to each island nor where to stay!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou

Read the FAQ and the old posts on this branch. Geez, you're going in 10 days and have not done any research???

I'm going for a week, not a year and obviously I've read all the FAQ and old threads - geez!

From the FAQ thread, specifically, entry #7 (I add emphasis)

<blockquote>Quote
<hr>5- Avoid asking general questions like "What is there to do in Papeete?" People who know the answers are probably tired of typing that much stuff for people they don't know and may not answer. Do some of your own research first to ask informed questions about specific things. If you've already done some research and got part of the answer, please tell us, so that we don't write on things you already know.
6- What's cheap for you? When using words like "cheap, reasonable, nice, fun, interesting, authentic, etc" give some idea of what such words mean to you. Some people's idea of expensive might mean moderately priced to me. Please don't use slang; most TT users are non-English speakers and sometimes it's inconvenient to need to look up in the dictionary in order to understand a question.
7- If you post and don't get many responses or have additional questions, try adding a more specific reply to your original post to move the original thread up the board. This is far preferably to starting a new thread, which annoys everyone who has responded to your post and doesn't let new people have the benefit of what has already been written.

So, if you are getting an underwhelming response to your 'questions', take some personal responsibility for that consequence.

I'm going to guess for that short of time the best place for you to visit is the Yasawas. There are islands that you can chill out on and other to party on. Here's a link to the boat that will take you to the various islands if you're wanting to visit more than one.
