Gap Years and Backpacking in Fiji
Gap Years and Backpacking in Fiji
Sponsored by Tourism Fiji
When you think of Fiji you think of sandy white beaches, palm trees swaying in the breeze, and bright blue waters for as far as the eye can see. Well, that's exactly what it's like.
Fiji is not just one idyllic island but hundreds (322 to be exact), and each offers perfect pristine beaches and a lazy lifestyle. The two biggest islands are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu; they account for three-quarters of the total land area of the country. The islands of Fiji are mountainous and covered with thick tropical forests adding to the magic and beauty of the country.
If you're looking for hiking then there are hundreds of little volcanic peaks to choose from. And if you're into scuba diving then Fiji has some of the world's best dive sites. But if all that sounds like a little too much effort then you can always just chillax on the beach and work on the tan. It really is hard to convey how beautiful Fiji is; the best thing to do is see it for yourself.
And while in Fiji, no trip would be complete without visiting the capital city of Suva. Far from the beaches, it still has a slower pace of life and a unique charm to it, making it a backpacker's delight.
