Fiji is a tropical island that invites you to travel and relax on white sandy beaches lined with palm trees and turquoise waters. Fiji's 333 islands are surrounded by mangroves, forests and coral and volcanic islets.
The two main islands with the largest population are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.
On Viti Levu, you will find Suva, the capital and port city of English colonial style. You can visit the Fiji Museum, located in Thurston Gardens, which houses a collection of archaeological artefacts, some dating back 3,700 years. Nature lovers can venture into the rainforests of the Colo-I-Suva Nature Reserve where you can discover Fiji's flora and fauna and swim in the waterfalls.
Still on the island of Viti Levu, Nadi is home to many gems of discovery. Here you will find the Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Hindu temple, which bears witness to Fiji's large Indian population, due to heavy Indian immigration in the past. Its Dravidian architecture with Hindu engravings and deities and its many colours will dazzle you. You can visit it and even attend religious ceremonies if you feel like it (useful tip: make sure you haven't eaten meat that day to enter this place!) Don't miss the Sleeping Giant Garden, which has over 2,000 species of orchids and beautiful landscaped walking trails. You can also stop at the Sabeto mud baths for a mineral-rich dip and then rinse off in the clear waters of a thermal spring.
