1. Fly by Helicopter or Seaplane Over the Islands of Fiji
When it comes to exceptional views of the Fiji islands, don’t settle for anything less than the best.

Either embark on a helicopter flight over the 33 islands of the Mamanucas with Pacific Island Air or treat yourself to an excursion via seaplane. This seaplane flight with Pacific Island Air flies over the remarkable Yasawa Islands and lands on the water at the Nanuya Island Resort.

We get it, not everyone shares the joy of over-enthusiastic children splashing in the swimming pool. Resorts like Radisson Blu and the Sheraton Fiji Resort have adult-only pools and lounging areas. Alternatively, amp up the experience at the Waitui Beach Club at the Sofitel Resort or KORO at The Hilton, which provide a complete adult-only experience. Relax in the pools with a swim-up bar, taste delectable sharing platters and drinks at the adult-only bars, be waited on in your own private cabana, and enjoy fitness programs from yoga to boot camps.
