Tips for Staying in Fiji
- Get used to “Fiji Time” – find out what Fiji time is here
- For self-catering, stay on Viti Levu or Vanua Levu; many other islands don’t have access to groceries – see our 10 Best Self-Catering Accommodations in Fiji
- Take what you need to the outer islands with you, as you’ll struggle to pick up supplies outside of Viti Levu
- Don’t expect much to happen on a Sunday outside of the resort
- Be aware that some activities are seasonal, such as manta ray swimming – see The Best Time to Visit Fiji for more advice
- Don’t exchange money at the airport; ATMs and currency exchange bureaus in towns offer a better deal.
