General Overview

In Fiji, each day brings with it a wide range of unique and fascinating things to do and see. From wondrous natural beauty to captivating cultural experiences, sightseeing in Fiji will never fail to amaze.

Of course, if you want to just stay put, many of the resort activities in Fiji are centred around the pool, the beach or the lagoon. There is swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, water-skiing, windsurfing, surfing and small craft sailing. Some resorts also feature paragliding and excursions to nearby islands. On-shore activities include tennis, volleyball, golf, horseback riding, trekking and jogging.

Some of the tours are run by indigenous Fijians themselves, so you'll have the opportunity for cultural interaction. Some tours cannot be pre-booked but information can be obtained from them directly, through your hotel tour desk.
