What Type of Luggage to Use for Fiji

Finally, what are you going to pack it all into? Everyone has their preferences on luggage, but for Fiji, the best luggage depends on what type of travelling you plan on doing.

For those staying on the mainland or in luxury resorts, a suitcase will be suitable and easy to transport across the smooth surfaces you’re likely to encounter. For those doing a lot of moving around in Fiji, perhaps travelling by boat, a backpack is usually more practical when surfaces are not suitable for pulling a suitcase.
