Fiji has over 300 islands in its archipelago, each fringed with coral reefs and lapped by warm azure waters - the diving and snorkelling are superb. Amid its wealth of natural beauty, Fiji's true magic lies in its people and the fascinating blend of their diverse cultures.
Fiji is an interesting blend of Melanesian, Polynesian, Micronesian, Indian, Chinese and European influences. For nearly 50 years, until the military coup of 1987 and the Indian emigration that followed it, the indigenous people of Fiji represented an ethnic minority in their own land.

Fiji is a very awesome place. It's a group of 320 smaller islands that make up Fiji. As soon as I arrived on the mainland I was told to go to the islands as soon as possible as the beaches were not very nice on mainland (which was very true). So ... Read more >
