Fiji calmed down yet?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji

Howdy

Looking at taking the family there approx June/July 2007 and was wondering whether
people are still jumpy and the army is on the street or if its calmed down.

Any issues with theft or assault etc?

We were looking at staying in well known resorts so probably not spending much time outside of that
environment.

Fiji is always calmed down. In all the coups no tourist has been hurt. go and enjoy

One thing as always take care of your possessions

No worries!
These things rarely if ever affect the tourist. Many people have traveled recently and were never even aware of any issues.
Most of the issues were in Suva which is much further south and not near the touristy parts like the Mamanuca, Yasawa Islands or the North of Fiji.

make your reservations~!

We were over there at christmas, just when everything was in its peak and the travel warnings said to reconicider.

and besides the odd road block (which consisted of a couple of friendly fijians sitting under a tree with a kava bowl) we had absolutely no probs and the most wonderful time.. especially if you plan to stick to the resorts.. no hassels!
