Fiji News

Before visiting the archipelago that is Fiji, there are a number of things to know. It is, of course, an island nation, rich in its own personal history and culture, but it has modern colonial influences that have left a mark on the island. Of its over 300 islands, only about 100 of them have a human population and the majority of the locals live in rural areas, villages and the like.

The exchange rate for a US dollar is almost double, so a visitor can live fairly well on a limited budget. English is the national language of Fiji, but Fijian and Hindustani are also frequently spoken. This is good to know so that if you are ever in a village and are invited to visit the chief, English is a perfectly acceptable language to use. Greet the chief with “Bula” and treat him with respect. It is also wise to accept the offer of a kava ceremony, where you will be offered a milky liquid to drink as a symbol of welcome.

When visiting, residents of North America are granted a 31 day visa upon arrival, but passports remain valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended length of stay. Casual summer clothes are most commonly worn, as it rarely gets chilly on the islands. The summer gets as hot as 95° Fahrenheit, so bring your bathing suits and get ready for some fun in the sun.
