Fifi for three young women?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji

Hi there

I'm travelling to Australia in June and have the chance to extend a stop-over in Fiji for a week. I'll be with two friends- we are all in our early twenties.

I was wondering- will there be plenty to do, and will we meet other young people? I've been told that Fiji is catered for couples with lots of honey-mooners. Our other option would be to stop-over in Singapore, I really can't decide where to go!

Any thoughts would be really appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Fiji is a common stopover for young single travellers on RTW trips - it is definitely NOT for honeymooners only.
In fact certain islands in the Yasawa group or the famed Beachcomber mostly cater to young backpackers.
There is LOTS to do, more than enough to fill a week.

I am willing to bet that as three young girls, you'd enjoy Fiji much more than Singapore.
The latter is only worth considering instead of Fiji if you don't visit any other place in SE Asia.

You need to do a lot more research. Fiji has way less in common with Singapore than Hawaii has with New York City.

If you want a comparable destination, you might replace Singapore with Southern Thailand.

Singapore is a modern city and although in Asia , is a bland version of an Asian city - go to Fiji and enjoy.
