Exploring Fiji!
Fiji is a dream destination! It’s known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and warm island hospitality. But beyond the well-known resorts and tourist hubs, there are hidden gems waiting to be explored. From secluded islands to cultural experiences, here’s a look at some of our favorite spots in Fiji!
Beqa Island: A Small Island with Big Adventures
Just a short boat ride from Pacific Harbour, Beqa (pronounced "Benga") is a tiny island offering incredible underwater experiences and cultural traditions. While there are only a few accommodations on the island, what it lacks in size, it makes up for in adventure.
Why Visit Beqa?
🌊 Shark Diving at Beqa Lagoon – One of the world’s best shark dives, where you can encounter up to eight different species. A thrill for many—but not for the faint of heart!
🐠 World-Class Snorkeling & Diving – With over 100 dive sites, Beqa is a paradise for those who love exploring the underwater world.
🔥 Home of Fijian Fire Walkers – This island is the spiritual home of the legendary Fijian fire walkers, a fascinating cultural tradition.
☕ Beachfront Café Charm – Enjoy fresh seafood and local flavors at a laid-back, toes-in-the-sand café.
Viti Levu: Off-the-Beaten-Path Fiji
As Fiji’s main island, Viti Levu is home to bustling cities like Nadi and Suva, but we sought a quieter, more authentic experience. Staying just outside Pacific Harbour, we found the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
Must-See Spots on Viti Levu:
🏝️ Natadola Beach – Often ranked as one of Fiji’s most beautiful beaches, this stretch of white sand and turquoise water is perfect for a day of sun and surf.
🏜️ Sigatoka Sand Dunes – A stunning and unexpected landscape in Fiji, the sand dunes provide incredible views and a unique hiking experience.
🚣 Fijian Cultural Canoe Tours – Glide through the serene rivers of Fiji and immerse yourself in the rich cultural history of the islands.
