Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji

Going to Fiji for the first time this spring, looking for advice on wear to go. Looking for must visit beaches, good snorkeling spots, and advice on where to stay.

Thanks and safe travels.

Check out the Yasawa group of Islands especially on Nacula Island - can snorkle in pristine coaral filled water right off the beach

Depends what you want, Yasawas is the immediate group of islands near Nadi where all the tourists and drinking teenagers go, I went to Qamea island, it's a hassle to get there but incredible once you, went snorkelling everyday with reef sharks etc, even saw a hammerhead one day. From there you can also visit Nanuku, literally HEAVEN ON EARTH! Heres my blog post about it, let me know if you want any more info....

Hi There,

It all depends on what you are looking @-terms of what you keen to do, what your flights arrival & departure like, and your budget.

Send me a private message if you still unsure:

Yasawas- a must do, boat transfers costs is expensive, mostly backpacking, few high end resorts, most accommodation they have accommodation & meal packages and charge activities.this is where the famous Brooke Shields Blue Lagoon was done, you can maybe island hop get a package or stay how many nights on island then few nights on mainland if there are few attractions or things you want to do before u head home

Happy Planning
Margaret
