2. Island Hopping

Fiji is made up of 333 individual islands, meaning there's plenty to discover. Head out and explore the largest islands of the Fiji group, including Kadavu, Galoa, Maola and Totoya with regular boat shuttles and ferry crossings or charter your own boat and take your pick of the popular islands.

3. River Rafting Adventures

Head inland to the tropical highlands of Fiji to experience the full might of the Upper Navua River, about 2.5 hours away by car. A must-do for those seeking high-octane adventures, this river cuts through a selection of volcanic gorges, with many rapids to put even the most experienced rafter to the test. It's going to be an exciting day trip.

4. Diving Adventures

Take a dive into another world of vivid turquoise waters, abundant with beautiful corals, teeming with an amazing variety of colourful tropical fish - it’s an underwater naturalist’s dream. Choose a relaxing dive in the calm inner reef waters or explore the famous outer Malolo Barrier reef where dolphins, turtles and large pelagic fish are your dive companions. Some of the great dive areas - The Great Astrolabe Reef, Kadavu; Somosomo Strait, Taveuni; Suncoast Fiji; Shark Reef Marine Reserve, Pacific Harbour and Mamanuca Islands are some of the great dive areas.

5. Say 'cheers' at Cloud 9

Cloud 9 is a two-level floating restaurant just a 45-minute boat ride from Fiji's main island, Viti Levu. A limited number of people are allowed to visit Cloud 9 each day, which makes it exclusive and private. You can party on board, snorkel, swim, and sunbathe while sipping cocktails and eating wood-fired pizza.
