FIJI
The perfect holiday destination to relax in paradise with gentle
ocean breezes, palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters
and a warm friendly Fijian welcome. Bula!
VITI LEVU
VANUA LEVU
The main island is where most visitors arrive at
Nadi Airport with rural farming in the east, sugar
cane production in the west and in the centre
are mountains, ravines, rivers and traditional
Fijian villages. Connected via a short causeway
is Denarau Island, only 20 minutes from the
airport and some of Fiji’s most well-known resorts
and restaurants. The Coral Coast is a popular
destination for families with hotels located
directly on the beachfront; and Pacific Harbour,
less than an hour’s drive from Suva is known for
its adventure activities. On the northern tip and
around 2 ½ hours from Nadi is the Sun Coast – a
great place for diving and snorkelling!
Offers lots to see and do for the more adventurous
traveller. Explore remote villages, hike through
forests and mountain passes, go diving on soft
coral reefs or visit beautiful Savusavu town, set in
a protected bay.

Fiji has a warm tropical climate with maximum temperatures between
26˚C and 31˚C all year. Cooling trade winds blow from the east southeast for most of the year. The wet season is normally from December
to April and is characterised by heavy, brief local showers, the humidity
is higher - typically the smaller islands receive less rainfall than the
main island. The drier months from May to November are as the best
time to visit.
OTHER HOTELS & TOURING
Via our partners, we have access to extensive hotels and touring
throughout Fiji. Ask your travel agent if you are interested in booking
hotel accommodation or tours not featured in this brochure and in

Fiji
Cloud 9
did you know?
Fiji is known as “The Soft Coral Capital of the World” and although you
can dive here all year round, the best time is from April to October
n Viti Levu’s best kept secret
is the quality diving at Rakiraki
on the Suncoast offering truly
wonderful diving experiences in
Bligh Water and beyond.
n Shark Reef Marine Reserve
is the first protected marine
sanctuary for sharks in Fiji,
located in Beqa Passage just off
the coast of Pacific Harbour.
n On the north side of Vanua
Levu is the third largest barrier
reef on earth when from June to
December is the best time to spot
lots of manta rays.
venture's insight - A unique destination
in that it is suitable for every demographic,
across every budget - and not so very far to
travel and experience the genuine warmth of
Fijian hospitality and cultural diversity.
The Mamanuca and Yasawa
Island groups have diving to
suit all skill levels from the
Malolo Barrier Reef’s famous
Supermarket known for its shark
encounters to getting up close
and personal with mantas and
sharks at the aptly named Big W.
n
Castaway Island is the only
resort-owned dive centre where
family dives are very popular with
children given the opportunity to
learn to snorkel and explore the
waters in ‘spyboats’, while their
parents dive.
n
“… discover Cloud 9, Fiji’s only 2-level floating
paradise with sun decks & day beds to lay back
and enjoy cocktails & delicious wood-fired
pizzas surrounded by turquoise blue water.”

FAST FACTS
n Kava is traditionally mixed in a wooden bowl called a tanoa, made from the wood of the Vesi tree, often polished & decorated with carvings & shell inlay.
n When the Sabeto mountains are viewed from a certain angle, the outline takes the form of a sleeping giant, carved into Viti Levu’s highest peak, Mt. Evans.
n Language tips: Denarau is pronounced Dena-row (as in cow); the ‘c’ is a ‘th’ so it is Mah-mah-noo-tha for Mamanuca; ‘g’ is an ‘ng’ as in Sigatoka; and ‘d’ is an ‘nd’ as in Nadi.
n Indian culture has a strong influence in Fijian society and can be seen with the many Indian temples around Viti Levu –Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Temple located in Nadi is the largest in the southern hemisphere.
n Upper Navua Gorge represents one of the most unique conservation co-operatives in the world, preventing logging, mining or roads within 200 metres of the Navua River’s edge, one of the only protected rivers in the South Pacific.

talanoa treks
OTHER TREK OPTIONS
Single- and multi-day treks take hikers off the
beaten track to experience the true heart of
Fiji, escaping the beach to visit waterfalls, walk
through forests, climb Fiji’s highest mountain,
wade rivers, cross open grassland, and stay in
remote villages. Routes often follow old paths
between villages, pig-hunting tracks, or farm
paths. These can be rough and muddy. The
villages work to keep the tracks clear, but there
are no constructed walking paths. A good level
of fitness and a spirit of adventure are musts!
On multi-day trips overnight bags are taken
along a different route by vehicle. Hikers
are also transported short distances each
day to the start of walks and non-walkers
can always opt to travel with the luggage
and still get the views! Accommodation is
provided in the villages or in locally owned
and managed lodges. It can be basic, but it is
always welcoming. There are flush toilets at all
stopovers, and cold-water showers.
Treks can be enjoyed separately or combined
into a stunning 5-day adventure. They are
scheduled throughout the year or tailored for
groups on request.

transfer or tour, in the first instance you should contact the

the person responsible for correctly interpreting your travel
requirements, providing travel advice, collecting your money
for your booked travel, and providing you with your travel
documents. Please make sure that you are fully aware of
what you are paying for before you pay your deposit and/or
final payment.
A deposit of $165 per adult ($55 per child) is payable to your travel consultant within 7 days of confirmation, to secure a booking. A further deposit may be required by the hotel, tour operator, cruise line or other principal. Please note that a deposited booking holds services but does not guarantee prices.

cancellations after the tour has commenced or in respect of
any tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not
