FIJI The perfect holiday destination to relax in paradise with gentle ocean breezes, palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters and a warm friendly Fijian welcome. Bula! VITI LEVU

VANUA LEVU

The main island is where most visitors arrive at Nadi Airport with rural farming in the east, sugar cane production in the west and in the centre are mountains, ravines, rivers and traditional Fijian villages. Connected via a short causeway is Denarau Island, only 20 minutes from the airport and some of Fiji’s most well-known resorts and restaurants. The Coral Coast is a popular destination for families with hotels located directly on the beachfront; and Pacific Harbour, less than an hour’s drive from Suva is known for its adventure activities. On the northern tip and around 2 ½ hours from Nadi is the Sun Coast – a great place for diving and snorkelling!

Offers lots to see and do for the more adventurous traveller. Explore remote villages, hike through forests and mountain passes, go diving on soft coral reefs or visit beautiful Savusavu town, set in a protected bay.

Fiji

Cloud 9

did you know? Fiji is known as “The Soft Coral Capital of the World” and although you can dive here all year round, the best time is from April to October n Viti Levu’s best kept secret is the quality diving at Rakiraki on the Suncoast offering truly wonderful diving experiences in Bligh Water and beyond. n Shark Reef Marine Reserve is the first protected marine sanctuary for sharks in Fiji, located in Beqa Passage just off the coast of Pacific Harbour. n On the north side of Vanua Levu is the third largest barrier reef on earth when from June to December is the best time to spot lots of manta rays.

venture's insight - A unique destination

in that it is suitable for every demographic, across every budget - and not so very far to travel and experience the genuine warmth of Fijian hospitality and cultural diversity.

The Mamanuca and Yasawa Island groups have diving to suit all skill levels from the Malolo Barrier Reef’s famous Supermarket known for its shark encounters to getting up close and personal with mantas and sharks at the aptly named Big W.

n

Castaway Island is the only resort-owned dive centre where family dives are very popular with children given the opportunity to learn to snorkel and explore the waters in ‘spyboats’, while their parents dive.

“… discover Cloud 9, Fiji’s only 2-level floating paradise with sun decks & day beds to lay back and enjoy cocktails & delicious wood-fired pizzas surrounded by turquoise blue water.” DON’T MISS THIS! Sofitel Fiji’s Waitui Beach Club A new and exclusive adult’s only area with its own pool, champagne bar, poolside cabanas and restaurant provides guests with a range of health and wellness options.

FAST FACTS n Kava is traditionally mixed in a wooden bowl called a tanoa, made from the wood of the Vesi tree, often polished & decorated with carvings & shell inlay. n When the Sabeto mountains are viewed from a certain angle, the outline takes the form of a sleeping giant, carved into Viti Levu’s highest peak, Mt. Evans. n Language tips: Denarau is pronounced Dena-row (as in cow); the ‘c’ is a ‘th’ so it is Mah-mah-noo-tha for Mamanuca; ‘g’ is an ‘ng’ as in Sigatoka; and ‘d’ is an ‘nd’ as in Nadi. n Indian culture has a strong influence in Fijian society and can be seen with the many Indian temples around Viti Levu –Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Temple located in Nadi is the largest in the southern hemisphere. n Upper Navua Gorge represents one of the most unique conservation co-operatives in the world, preventing logging, mining or roads within 200 metres of the Navua River’s edge, one of the only protected rivers in the South Pacific.

OTHER TREK OPTIONS

Single- and multi-day treks take hikers off the beaten track to experience the true heart of Fiji, escaping the beach to visit waterfalls, walk through forests, climb Fiji’s highest mountain, wade rivers, cross open grassland, and stay in remote villages. Routes often follow old paths between villages, pig-hunting tracks, or farm paths. These can be rough and muddy. The villages work to keep the tracks clear, but there are no constructed walking paths. A good level of fitness and a spirit of adventure are musts! On multi-day trips overnight bags are taken along a different route by vehicle. Hikers are also transported short distances each

day to the start of walks and non-walkers can always opt to travel with the luggage and still get the views! Accommodation is provided in the villages or in locally owned and managed lodges. It can be basic, but it is always welcoming. There are flush toilets at all stopovers, and cold-water showers. Treks can be enjoyed separately or combined into a stunning 5-day adventure. They are scheduled throughout the year or tailored for groups on request.

A 4WD vehicle remains with hikers throughout the trip for safety and to transfer overnight bags to each day’s destination, so hikers only carry daypacks with essentials.
