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?
Top places to consider:
- Coral Coast boasts family-friendly resorts and great snorkelling
- Denarau Island offers easy access, luxury resorts and is a great base for exploring
- Mamanuca Islands are postcard beaches with epic water sports experiences
- 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.
Do I need travel insurance for Fiji?

If travelling to outer islands, discuss strict baggage limits on domestic flights with your Fiji travel expert.
What should I wear in Fiji?

Can I take food and snacks to Fiji?
Yes, but you must declare all food items on arrival.
Pre-packaged snacks are usually allowed for personal use but check Fiji Biosecurity rules before travelling.
What currency is used in Fiji and should I bring cash?
Fiji uses the Fijian Dollar (FJD). Most resorts are cashless, but it’s useful to carry cash for small purchases, local markets, taxis and tips.
Is Fiji safe for travellers from New Zealand?
Fiji is generally very safe. Use common sense – keep valuables secure, use licensed taxis or transfers and follow water safety advice.
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.
A rental car is useful if you want to explore Viti Levu at your own pace.
How can I get around Fiji without a car?
Transport options include:

Experience kaleidoscopic snorkelling and diving, island hop from one sandbank to another and visit local villages for an authentic day-in-the-life. Popularly, book a river safari on the Sigatoka River or celebrate life at the iconic Malamala Beach Club.

Having been born into an aviation family, I was always destined to become a passionate traveller, and have a lifelong fascination for aviation, airports, and exploring new destinations.
Travel is in my blood, and my love for my job shines through, going above and beyond for my clients to ensure their needs are met with warmth, kindness, and an attentive ear.
With a diverse background in the travel industry, my vast experience started with corporate travel for blue chip New Zealand companies, followed by a never-ending OE in London and Sydney in the Music & Film industry looking after global superstars and celebrities. Now back home in the Bay, I’m helping travellers with their holidays, corporate customers heading away for business, and specialising in group travel - whether travelling for sports, education, weddings, conferences, or events. I’m experienced in catering to a wide range of travel preferences and needs.
Whether you're planning a budget-friendly adventure or a luxurious getaway, I’ve tried it all, from economy to first class, I’ve even chartered private jets! I have great first-hand knowledge and I’m eager to share it with you to create a trip full of unforgettable experiences for you.

Why a customer would choose me:
I'm honestly in my dream job - I get to combine my passion for travel with my love of organisation and planning. Travel has changed so much over the last few years and continues to do so, which means there are more details to consider than ever before.
It's so much fun getting to know my clients and helping them come up with the perfect itinerary. I can research to my heart's content and get into the nitty gritty to make sure your trip flows smoothly.
You just bring me your dream and we can build it together. Then leave me to focus on the details, so that you can relax and have your best adventure yet!
Meet Me:
I moved home to NZ in 2017 after living on the Sunshine Coast in Australia for ten years during my 20's (yes, I'd love to help you plan your next trip over there).
In the weekends I'm either reading a good book at home cuddled up with my rescue cats, or traipsing through the local forests - I'm not much of a city dweller if I can help it.
When it comes to travel, my attitude leans more towards 'go big or go home'. If I'm flying halfway around the world, you can bet that I'm going to make the most of it. I will bargain hunt my heart out so that I can fit in more days, more locations and more fun.
I mean, is there any better feeling in the world than standing somewhere you've never been before, experiencing new things, tasting new foods, meeting new people and just having the time of your life?
