Fiji Travel Information
Fiji is a country of over 300 islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Lucury Resorts are accessible easily via air and cruise ship. Vanua Levu, the second largest island in Fiji features some really paradies-like places where you indeed feel the treasure this Pacific Island group has to offer. Situated south of the equator, this tropical paradise is easily accessible from Los Angeles, Hawaii, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and Tokyo - and many other places.

Entry Requirements
No shots are necessary to go to Fiji. All visitors to Fiji require a passport. Entry visas are granted on arrival for a stay of four months for nationals of Australia, the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. Please check with your nearest Fijian Embassy for other countries' entry requirements and updates. Visas may be extended for up to six months; please contact the Embassy for details and updates. People who wish to work or reside in Fiji must obtain the appropriate visa prior to arrival in Fiji.
Electricity
The electricity in Fiji is 240 volt 50 Hz AC (alternating current). The plug is a 3-prong plug, just like those used in Australia and New Zealand. Resorts might have a few converters that guests can use, but in high occupancy time periods, it is best to have your own converter with you for cameras or laptops. Converters are available at many department stores in the travel & luggage section.
Weather
Fiji enjoys a tropical climate year-round. You can expect warm temperatures: 75 to 90 degrees with humidity during the day, and 70 to 78 at night. Fiji is located in the tropics, so there is always the possibility of a rain shower, but normally these showers will last a short while and then move on. Because Fiji is so close to the equator, there is little variation in the seasons, although the "summer" months of December through March are known to have a little more rain and humidity.
Dress
Pack your bags for fun and sun. Shorts, cotton shirts, sundresses, and bathing suits are all appropriate. Don't forget sunglasses, a hat and perhaps a cover-up, since Fiji's sun can be fierce. Some excursions are best tackled in sandals or sports style footwear. Even in our winter, the climate is tropical, but it's wise to bring a sweater for the evenings, just in case.
What Else to Bring
You also may want to bring: a camera with extra film, sunblock/sunscreen, a Walkman/personal CD player, reef-walkers or other comfortable shoes for walking along the coral sand beach, spare glasses or contact lenses.
Taxis
Most taxis are metered. If not, negotiate a price beforehand.
Buses
Buses serve towns and cities and rural areas extensively, service is regular within urban areas, however buses maybe crowded during peak hours.
Carriers and mini vans
Not metered, generally for rural areas and cross country commuting.
Renting/Driving
Driving is on the right -hand side. Fiji has an extensive road highway all around the main islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Whilst driving on highways, tourists are cautioned on stray cows and horses that mostly frequent the roads. International driving license is permitted.
