About Fiji

Fiji is 333 islands scattered across the South Pacific, and the Fijians have a word — 'bula' — that means hello, welcome, cheers, and life all at once. It sets the tone for everything. The Mamanuca and Yasawa island chains have the postcard beaches: white sand, palm trees, water that shifts from turquoise to deep blue depending on the reef below. The diving is world-class, especially at the Great Astrolabe Reef and the Beqa Lagoon shark dive. But what separates Fiji from other tropical destinations is the warmth of the people — the village visits, the kava ceremonies, the singing that breaks out without warning. It's paradise with a soul.
