Nadi is the tourism hub for the Fijian Islands;iIt's got everything you need around you such as accommodation, activities and trips and tours.
Nadi is a thriving community with many things to explore and experience. There's also a number of local activities and places to see when you're in Nadi as well.
It's often safer to get a local bus in Fiji as opposed to a taxi or share-taxi's. Even though it's likely to be a little slowly, you're much more protected than in a car or mini-bus.
The cheapest food in Fiji is found on the snack stands dotted along the roads. You can pick up curry or fish and chips for as little as US$1.
It's important to stay healthy during your gap year in Fiji. Drink plenty of water, especially during strenuous excursions to remain hydrated and when exposed to direct sunlight.
Fijian culture encourages sharing and sometimes small things like shoes will be "borrowed". Often by speaking with the village chief it can be arranged to get things returned.
Also, be aware that homosexual sex may be a crime in Fiji. While Fiji claims to welcome gay travellers, there has been a recent case where a visitor to the country was initially jailed for two years for paying a local for homosexual sex. He was later freed on appeal.
