Out & About

FIJI ANS COMMONLY USE the word bula, meaning life, as a greeting across the country. However, much like the Hawaiian use of aloha, bula is more a way of living than just a word, often referring to the culture that surrounds the country’s serene beaches and laidback atmosphere.

Tourists can easily use a retreat in the archipelago to completely unwind with its white sandy beaches and yearround sunshine. However, for those looking for excitement, the country has a range of unique activities on offer.

The sea is unsurprisingly a major attraction, ripe for some of the world’s best surfing, snorkelling and sailing.

Meanwhile, the inland attractions are equally inspiring. Swimming at the base of a tropical waterfall or indulging in a natural span are particularly popular, whilst jungle treks, helicopter tours and exploring nature reserves are also highly recommended by all that partake in such ventures.

Choosing an island to stay on can often cause the biggest headaches for tourists, but wherever you choose, you will always be welcomed by the local people with a cup of Kava.

Suva tends to be the most selected location to this end as the capital of Fiji. Located on the Viti Levu island’s southeast coast, the city features modern infrastructure and an abundance of things to do, from its 78 parks and gardens to its vibrant shopping centres.
