Fiji Sightseeing in the Rainforests of Fiji

Fiji's rainforests are unique in that they have no harmful animals or insects. Here one can enjoy serene contemplation of nature in complete safety. Multi-hued birds flit from the trees, and if you are lucky you may spot several varieties of Fiji's tiny wild parrots. While the Fiji rainforest can be thick and impenetrable, you will find pathways used by the Fijians who know the jungle as well as you know your own living room.

Because of the mountainous nature of the Fiji islands, there are numerous streams and waterfalls, often with a cool pond in a rocky basin beneath the falls. One of the most famous Fijian waterfall is the sacred Bouma Falls on the Island of Taveuni, seen by the world in the motion picture "Return to the Blue Lagoon".

Here you will also find a natural waterslide, also featured in the movie, where local Fiji residents have enjoyed themselves for centuries. Fiji has no leeches or crocodiles, and Fijian wild streams and brooks are crystal clear and unpolluted.

You'll find that the Fiji Islands offer a wide range of quality golf courses - from small "pitch and putts" right through to international championship golf courses. So, take your time and enjoy Golfing in Fiji and some incredible sightseeing along the way.

Fiji Markets - Fiji Sightseeing

Whether shopping in Fiji or just browsing the Fiji Markets, here's your opportunity to become acquainted with some of the savviest Fijians as well the best barterers around. In Fiji, you'll discover unique cultural and historical artefacts, stylish international boutique fashions as well as budget gift and souvenir shops. Most Fiji stores are open 8am to 5pm or 6pm, sometimes later at hotels and resorts. Most stores are closed on Sundays. All of your major credit cards are widely accepted.

Some popular Fiji items to bring home for friends, family and business associates to enjoy, include Fijian inspired designer T-shirts, carved tanoa bowls, from which the "national drink yaqona" (kava) is mixed and served, Fijian replica war clubs, "cannibal forks" and Fijian combs. Handicraft like Fiji woven baskets and mats, masi (tapa cloth), animal wood carvings and pottery items are best sellers. And, for international fashion buffs, the ubiquitous sulu for men and women is Fiji's all-purpose, one-size-fits-all garment. Women wear them 100 different ways from a beachside wrap to an evening dress while men in Fiji business and government wear them as a day skirt.

Beyond the Fiji hotels and resorts, in our Fiji island towns and cities, you'll find a wide assortment of shops frequented by locals. Fijian shops offering glittering displays of gold jewellery along with cottons and silks are popular among and often owned by our Indian compatriots.

And, if you really love the age-old practice of bargaining, head for Cummings Street in Suva where it has reached the highest art form! Here are a select few of Fiji's most popular shopping emporiums not to be missed...



Markets - Fiji style

There is no chrome shelving in Fiji markets. Point of sale signs are mostly hastily hand-rendered on bits of cardboard and the muzak is a background hub-bub of Hindustani, Chinese and Fijian.

Culture & Historic (attractions)

Fiji is a land of ancient rituals, such as the yaqona ceremony, which is still enacted as it has been for centuries. Visitors, who are regarded as honoured guests, are often welcomed to take part in these solemn occasions. The Fijian culture is based on the well-being of extended families where the interests of the group are always regarded as above those of the individual.

Fiji's rich cultural heritage is composed of many diverse elements which includes the way of life of it's indigenous Fijian people and others who for the past 190 years have made Fiji their home.

Fiji Dining - Food In Fijithingstodo_dining_pic1

Dining in Fiji offers a multiethnic culinary experience. Whether dining at your hotel, island resort or "in town", you'll find a palate painted by flavours from India, China, Korea, Japan, Italy and the best of Europe as well as Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific waters.

Restaurants run the gamut from five star international to 24-hour air-conditioned coffee shops. Steaks and local seafood can be found in most restaurants as can the specialities of our own Fijian cooking heritage. Most hotels and resorts also offer specific culinary themed nights, magiti (Fijian feasts), beach or poolside BBQ's, as well as Fiji's best known and pervasive outdoor cooking experience-the lovo, an underground oven of heated rocks cooking a variety of foods wrapped in banana leaves. covered with earth and coming out after several hours of cooking with a faintly smoky flavour. Lovos produce succulent, tender meats, chicken, seafood, and given the proper occasion, a whole suckling pig!

Stay a week in Fiji and you're sure to come across a lovo followed by a meke, our colourful evening of traditional Fijian song and dance by nearby villages or resort island staff members. Everyone deserves a lovo and meke, and it's a reward you'll only get in Fiji!

thingstodo_dining_pic2
You also shouldn't leave Fiji without having experienced other traditional Fijian dishes. Kokoda, Fiji's most popular speciality, is portions of fresh fish marinated in lime juice and served in a half coconut in lolo - a word that sounds as sweet as it tastes- made from the sweet cream of the coconut, a staple in Fijian cooking. Or savour a palusami, meat wrapped in taro (dalo) leaves and cooked in lolo.

 

 
There are 333 islands in the Fiji archipelago where you can swim with huge, harmless manta rays, snorkel over giant rainbow gardens of coral or scuba dive the White Wall and famous Astrolabe Reef. It is also where you can float in the calm turquoise waters or walk alone through lush rainforest. The sun shines almost every day and when there is a brief downpour people rush outside for a warm rainbath. Fiji is a place where rushing is rude, a new friends name is not forgotten and people wear flowers tucked in their hair just because they like to.
