Best time to visit Fiji

When is the best time to visit Fiji?

Congratulations, you made the right decision in choosing Fiji as your next travel destination! Now comes the fun part — planning. 

What’s the best time to visit Fiji? Here are some guidelines to help you decide.

Weather in Fiji

There are two main seasons in Fiji: wet and humid (November – April) and dry and pleasant (May – October).

Note that the southeastern part of Viti Levu (the main island) has higher rainfall than the rest of the island during the rainy season. Just something to keep in mind.

Mid-October to mid-November is when prices are lower, there are less crowds, and the weather is dry. Thus it is an ideal time to visit.

Take note of the antipodean school holidays (around April, July, September/October, and December), because that’s when hotel and airline rates are sky high.

When is the best time to visit Fiji?

You’ll definitely want to experience a festival while you’re there. Here are 10 of Fiji’s most important festivals so you may adjust your visit accordingly. The exact dates sometimes vary from year to year.

1. Festival of the Friendly North - Celebration of Culture

Celebration happens in August.

This celebration takes place in Labasa (an agricultural town on the Vanua Levu island) and is one of the most notable festivals in the country. It is a charitable event that started forty odd years ago. The proceeds go to a cause in Labasa, for example, better health services in the town. 

During the festival, the people of Labasa gather on the streets and at the famous Subrail Park. Be entertained by the beauty pageant. Don’t forget to congratulate the winner of the title!

2. Diwali - Festival of Lights

Celebration happens in October.

Fiji is home to a large population of Indians, thus Diwali is a major celebration on the archipelago. Traditionally, South East Asian countries like India celebrate the festival by lighting diyas. In Fiji, there are light-shows, firecrackers, parties, and lots of fun. All the locals regardless of religion or ethnicity come together to celebrate the festival.

3. Bula Festival - Popular Fiji Festival

Celebration happens in August.

“Bula” means “hello”, thus as you might imagine, the annual Bula Festival is an introduction to Fiji and her people. It lasts an entire week with food, music, and other exciting events. The celebration is held at both Koroivolu Park and Prince Charles Park. Just like the Festival of the Friendly North, all proceeds of the event go to charity.

4. Holi - Festival of Colours

Celebration happens in March.

Holi is another festival brought over by the ethnic Indians, known as the “Festival of Colours”, owing to its vibrant and vivid colours. Although it is celebrated primarily by the Hindus, people of different communities come together and throw colourful powder on each other. The simple ritual represents forgetting old grudges and forging new relationships, which is why it’s celebrated during spring time, the season of new beginnings.

5. Fiji Day - Celebration of Independence of the Island

Celebration happens in October.

Fiji gained independence from British colonial rule in the 70s, a major event in history. The people of Fiji celebrate their independence annually on the 10th of October; the festivities may last up to a week in the main cities. There are parades, parties, and performances in every corner of the country. You bet it’s a big deal to the Fijians!

6. Lautoka Sugar Festival - A Fun Festival

Celebration happens in September.

Fiji is synonymous with the sugar trade, and the city of Lautoka in Fiji is a star player in sugar production. Every year, the people of Lautoka celebrate the Sugar Festival. As usual, there is music, dancing, food, and a beauty pageant, where the participants contest for the title of “Lady Sugar”, “Miss Sugar Princess”, and “Mr Sugar King”.

7. Hibiscus Festival - A Beauty Pageant Festival

Celebration happens in August.

Hibiscus Festival is the oldest, biggest, most awaited celebration on the island of Fiji. The beauty pageant is the main event of the festival — you’ll see Miss Hibiscus get crowned! — but there is also a celebration of Fijian culture. The festival is Fiji in a nutshell. It’s the one you don’t want to miss.

Important Things to Note When Traveling to Fiji

Important things to note when travelling to Fiji

Weather

Fiji has a warm tropical climate perfect for beachside holidays all year round. The temperatures in Fiji range from 26°C to 31°C on average.

The wet season is normally from November to April with heavy, brief local showers and contributes to most of Fiji’s annual rainfall. The best months to visit Fiji are from late March to early December.

Etiquette

Fijian culture is vibrant and friendly, and you can expect a warm welcome at any of the villages you visit. It’s important to be respectful at all times when visiting a Fijian village. 

Fijian villages are generally not open to the public and visits are by organised tours. When visiting a village it’s customary to bring a gift of yaqona (kava) with you. This is for your sevusevu ceremony during which guests request permission from the turaga-ni-koro (village chief) to visit the village. Therefore, when visiting a Fijian village, the visiting party’s spokesman will have to present their i-sevusevu to the village chief to communicate the purpose of their visit and to seek the necessary permission to carry out their activities. The visiting party’s spokesman is responsible for all formal communications between them and the village chief. 

 

A Yaqona or Kava ceremony involves certain protocols that include seating arrangements and roles during the ceremony. As a visitor, you must sit at the designated spot provided by your village host. Everyone sits on the floor, as it is considered disrespectful to sit on a chair. Exceptions can be made if the individual has mobility issues and can be seated at a distance away from the crowd.

  1. When drinking yaqona, you must clap once before receiving the yaqona bilo (bowl) and prior to drinking must greet the villagers and their chief. Consume the yaqona in one gulp. After drinking, return the bilo (bowl) to the bearer and clap three times.
  2. It’s polite to ask permission if you’d like to take photos of the kava ceremony or people.
  3. Remember to dress conservatively when you visit a local village. Ladies should wear a sulu (sarong) over their shorts or trousers.
  4. Don’t wear anything on your head, including caps/hats/sunglasses.
  5. In Fiji, Sunday is a special day for families. Fijian usually reserve this day to relax and spend time with loved ones. Don’t be surprised that most establishments and traditional villages are closed on Sundays. Thus, make the most out of your Sunday roaming around town instead.
  6. If you are visiting a Fijian household, observe proper etiquette. Before you enter, leave your shoes outside and wait for your host to let you in. Slightly crouch when passing by the door as a show of respect.
  7. It is customary to sit on the floor.
  8. Keep the tone of your voice moderate (avoid yelling or acting overly excited).
  9. When visiting a village, and if you’re offered food, you’ll need to wait for the food to be blessed before digging in. After everyone has gathered around the table, the head of the house will say masu (grace) for the meal. After the blessing, you can start your meal. 
  10. Fijians consider the head the most sacred part of the human body. That’s why touching someone’s head, even the heads of young kids, is a gesture you should avoid when in Fiji. Instead of patting someone’s head, you can ask for a high-five or hug.
  11. Don’t place your hands on your hips.

 

Power plug

Fiji uses power plugs type I, which is the plug that has three flat pins in a triangular pattern. Fiji operates on a 240V supply voltage and 50Hz.

 

Smoking

Fiji has strict no-smoking laws. You are strongly encouraged to only smoke in designated areas. Smoking in public places may result in a steep fine.

 

 

Tipping

While always appreciated, tipping is not customary in Fiji. At some resorts, you may find a communal tip jar where guests can contribute funds that are split amongst the staff.

21 romantic things to do in Fiji for couples

21 romantic things to do in Fiji for couples

Are you planning your dream honeymoon vacation to Fiji, or perhaps just an idyllic holiday getaway for you and your special someone?

Apart from the obvious like its soft white sand beaches lined with Coconut trees and waters so blue you have to pinch yourself to believe it’s real, there are tons of other things to do and see around Fiji’s 333 islands that are utterly romantic and will make you fall in love instantly.

1. Ever had a picnic in the middle of the ocean?Honeymoon Island

Aptly named, couples especially enjoy this activity – especially if you’re surprised by it and have no idea where you’re going.

Made up of 333 islands, many privately owned and can be reached by chartered seaplane. Here, enjoy the ride until you reach your final destination, a tiny deserted island with nothing around you except a dreamy picnic for two set up, with the endless ocean surrounding you.

2. Horseback ride along the beach at sunset: Horseback Rides

This is one of those activities most kids dream of doing at least once in a lifetime, and what could be more idyllic than trotting on the soft beachy sands along shallow crystal-blue waters?!

There are a few places around Coral Coast that offer horseback riding…Natadola Bay Horse Riding is located right next to the InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, and Doubletree Hilton Sonaisali, Gecko’s Resort and Mango Bay Resort all offer the activity too.

3. For the best views from above: Private Helicopter Island Tour, Heli-Tours Fiji

You’ll notice that sea charters in Fiji are a common mode of transport, whether it be by plane or helicopter, but it’s not just transfer services that they offer.

Instead of exploring Fiji’s 333 islands on water, try something extraordinary instead, like a scenic heli-tour over the ocean and isles. Snap up incredible photos, and you can customise your tour to include the parts you’d like to fly over.

4. Totally private and made for couples: Adult-only Resorts

We get it, we’ve all been there…when planning a super romantic getaway, nothing can ruin the moment quite like loud screaming babies, or overtly loud teens – hey, we’ve all been young once.

To avoid any imperfections this holiday, especially if you’re here on honeymoon, consider booking your stay at one of Fiji’s many luxurious adult-only resorts, many of which are located on private islands. Tokoriki Island Resort is one of the world’s top adult-only stays, and some other options include Likuliku Lagoon Resort and Tropica Island Resort.

5. Feeling fancy? Private yacht charter

Day trips around the islands of Fiji are one of the most common activities to do and you’ll find tons of tours everywhere. If the pair of you are not keen on joining a group of randoms for the day, opt for chartering your own private yacht for the day.

Although it will cost you slightly more, get to experience an intimate and luxurious sailing trip through the see-through tropical waters, with lunch included like lobster and sushi! Check out Big Blue Fiji for their ‘bespoke sailing charters.

6. A once-in-a-lifetime experience: Dolphin Watching
