Travel in Fiji

With more than 1100km of coastline in Fiji, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of paradisiacal beaches to throw down your towel.

Scattered amid the azure waters of the South Pacific, Fiji is made up of 300 or so islands – sailing is undoubtedly one of the best ways of navigating this paradisiacal archipelago (with the best season being between May and October), but there are plenty of ways to get around if you don’t have your own boat.

White sand beaches, swaying palm fronds, colorful coral reefs: for many, the allure of Fiji is in its landscapes. Yet, this South Pacific archipelago is as much an experiential indulgence as it is a visual one.

Fiji is an incredible island nation with the kind of stunning beaches and vibrant culture that will make you never want to leave. But first, you need to arrive, and a big part of that is figuring out whether you need a visa and how to get one if you do.

With over three hundred islands within its borders, Fiji seems like it's best seen by boat. But with your own set of wheels, you’ll uncover scenery and a way of living around the islands rarely seen by those who travel solely by sea and sky. 

There are 333 islands in Fiji's archipelago, so choosing the best one for you is an intimidating endeavor.

Pristine white sand beaches, aquamarine waters, and a lush volcanic landscape – arriving in Fiji truly feels like you've discovered paradise.
