Fiji

Although adventure holidays can often be the most fun, sometimes a relaxing holiday is what is really needed. In 2009 Fiji provided this for my family, family friends and I. Fiji is an Island country in Melanesia located in the South Pacific Ocean, 3,000km North East of Sydney. The country is a cluster of  more than 332 islands with 110 being permanently inhabited.

I stayed in the largest and capital city Suva, on Fiji. I would highly recommend any of the impressive resorts situated on the Denarau side in the town on Nadi. We stayed in the Sheraton Hotel. While Fiji’s main attraction is its white sandy beaches on exotic islands with perfect all year temperature. It also offers many activities in which I enjoyed including banana boating, jet skiing, snorkeling and scuba diving, fishing and day tripping to many other islands. My favorite activity would definitely be jet skiing as we rode from one island to another allowing us to experience a lot more of the country. The cocktails in Denarau are a must have! Or if you are under 18, opt for a fresh coconut cut right from the tree.

Fiji is lucky enough to have tropical warmth all year round. The warmer season ranges from November to April, with May to October being a little cooler but still averaging 22 degrees C. Like all tropical places some rain can be expected. Fiji is a great place to relax and soak up the sun. It’s a great mid-range holiday destination for any group from honeymooner to family trips.
