Fiji’s Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time of year to visit Fiji?
The best time to visit Fiji is from May to September, when the weather is cooler, drier and less humid - ideal for beach days and outdoor activities.
For fewer crowds and better deals, consider February to April, though it’s warmer with occasional rain.
Peak travel times for Kiwis include July and September/October school holidays, so book 7 to 10 months ahead to secure the best options.
How long should I spend in Fiji?
Most New Zealand travellers spend 5 to 7 nights in Fiji for a relaxing island break.
If you want to combine mainland Fiji with island hopping (Mamanucas or Yasawas), 7 to 10 nights is ideal.
Where to go on holiday in Fiji?

- Yasawa Islands are more remote with untouched beauty
- Savusavu and Taveuni are popular for diving, nature and going off the beaten track
Is Fiji a good holiday destination for New Zealanders?
Yes, Fiji is one of the easiest tropical getaways for Kiwis with direct flights from Auckland, short travel times (approximately 3 hours), no major time difference and year-round warm weather.

Where to stay in Fiji?
The best place to stay depends on your travel style. A popular choice for families is Coral Coast, Denarau and Plantation Island. Couples commonly choose Tokoriki, Matamanoa and Yasawa Island resorts for an adults only vibe. If you’re a luxury traveller, Denarau or a private island resort might suit your travel style best, while adventure seekers - Taveuni or Savusavu are perfect for off-the-beaten-path style experiences.

Pre-packaged snacks are usually allowed for personal use but check Fiji Biosecurity rules before travelling.

Do I need to hire a car to get around in Fiji?
No, most travellers don’t need a car.
Resorts offer transfers, and taxis and tours are easy to arrange.

Travel has always ignited a deep passion within me. I’ve been
incredibly fortunate to wander across distant lands and hidden gems, and my
longing to explore continues to grow with every trip. After my time working in
Florida, I've returned to the U.S. multiple times, and Philadelphia holds a
special place in my heart—alive with history, bursting with vibrant culture,
and so wonderfully easy to discover.
My journeys have taken me to London, Egypt, Jordan, and more
recently, I’ve embraced the joy of exploring closer to home. I’ve been
captivated by the awe-inspiring landscapes of Uluru and the Red Centre and
mesmerized by the beauty of Heron Island in the southern reaches of the Great
Barrier Reef. I’ve also fallen in love with the energetic pulse of Sydney and
the breathtaking northwestern wonders of Tasmania—visiting Launceston, Cradle
Mountain (even in summer, don’t forget your coat—the cold can surprise you),
and Strahan.
As the dedicated Australia and Pacific specialist at our office,
these adventures have not only broadened my horizons but have fuelled my
passion to share these incredible experiences with others. I eagerly look
forward to discovering more extraordinary destinations, immersing myself in
diverse cultures, and creating unforgettable memories—wholeheartedly sharing
that joy and passion with everyone I meet!
