Best tips for travel to Fiji: 5 expert travellers reveal why they keep going back
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. The first time I went to Fiji, our plane was delayed out of Sydney and we missed the last transfer to Malolo Island by 10 minutes. But then a magical thing happened. As we stood with heads hanging on the dock, the Denarau Marina staff radioed the packed catamaran and asked it to stop while my group was ferried out in a dinghy. I learned two valuable lessons that day – time your flight and island connection better, and never underestimate a Fijian's ability to make you feel special. This world-famous hospitality is one of the things that make Fiji a favourite destination for Australians. Whether it's Fijians' friendly nature with children or their warm smiles and cheery Bula, it keeps us coming back again and again. Australians make up 44 per cent of Fiji's tourist market, which as a whole reached almost one million visitors in 2024 – a record year for arrivals, according to Tourism Fiji. And 2025 is already tracking higher. So, we asked five Fiji fans to share their favourite spots to stay and play in this South Pacific paradise. Molly Steven learning to scuba dive in Fiji. THE TEEN: Molly Steven Thirteen-year-old Molly Steven is in the enviable position of having a mum who is also a travel agent specialising in Fiji. As a result the Sydney teen has crossed the Pacific to Fiji 15 times, making her a mini expert in her own right. 'The village trips and waterfall walks are my favourite things to see because it's really different to what we have at home,' Molly says. 'I especially love visiting schools and seeing how different it is to my own school in Australia.' With three older brothers, going to kids' club allows Molly to make friends her own age while on holiday. At her favourite resort, Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, kids are matched up with a Fijian 'buddy' who takes them sailing, kayaking, snorkelling and on village visits. 'You form a real bond with your buddy and the other kids,' Molly says. 'We get to hang out in groups of kids our same age which I love and we do lots of things together, sometimes we even eat meals together. I always cry when we have to leave because I know I will miss them.' Kids club rafting adventure at Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, Fiji. Top spot: Molly has stayed at Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort in Savusavu eight times. The eco-resort is a marine leader in Fiji. 'In kids' club we are taught all about the ocean and the environment by marine biologists, but it's done in a really fun way,' Molly says. 'I got my scuba certificate at JMC when I was 10 and going diving is one of my favourite things to do in Fiji.' Top tip: You can get your scuba licence from age 10 in Fiji, but save time by doing the theory at home so when you arrive in Fiji you can get straight in the water. Getting there: Savusavu is on the south coast of Fiji's second biggest island, Vanua Levu. Two one-hour flights a day operate to Savusavu from Nadi International Airport. Rowena Ryan and husband Gus White at Turtle Island Fiji. THE FRIEND: Rowena Ryan Escape's digital editor, Rowena Ryan, had been to Fiji a few times but was left underwhelmed, until earlier this year when an island visit allowed her to find out what all the fuss was about. 'The first time was on a cruise that only stopped at the mainland and the second time, on a friend's boat,' Rowena says. 'This year, my trip completely changed my mind and I realised I'd got Fiji all wrong.' From the minute she arrived in the Yasawa Islands north of the main island of Viti Levu, Rowena says she was transported by the cultural immersion. 'Fijian 'warriors' carry women guests from the seaplane over the water to the shore and you're immediately embraced as family. There are visits to see kids at the neighbouring island school, evening kava ceremonies, Fijian mamas to take care of you and of course the ever present Bula.' Turtle Island Fiji features 14 bures along the lagoon. Top spot: Rowena loved the emphasis on cultural experiences at Turtle Island in the Yasawa Islands. 'Turtle Island has all the trimmings of a five-star stay yet feels nothing like a chain resort; just 14 bures line its beachfront making it one of the most exclusive options in Fiji,' she says. 'It's the epitome of rustic luxury.' Getting there: Turtle Island is a private island in the Yasawa archipelago. Transfer from Nadi International Airport via seaplane or boat to Turtle Island. Delia Hing with her family and butler at Vomo. THE EXTENDED FAMILY: Delia Hing The first time grandmother Delia Hing visited Fiji was for her 70th birthday 11 years ago. She loved it so much she vowed to bring her extended family back. Three generations of Hings have visited Fiji three times now and Delia thinks there's no better destination for multi-generational holidays. 'It's the kind of place where everyone, no matter your age, can have fun,' Delia says. Each day family members set off on their own activities and come together for meals and to share their day's adventures. 'The kids spend a lot of time in the pool and also enjoy fishing out on the boat with their dad and grandad, and going out snorkelling with their mum each day,' Dela says. 'I prefer to read my book by the pool. But then we all come together for our meals and talk about what we've done.' Vomo Island Fiji caters to multigenerational family groups. Top spot: Vomo Island Resort is Delia's favourite place to stay with her family. 'Our group includes my husband, our daughter, her husband and their two teenage kids and we stay together in the beach houses where there is plenty of room for everyone.' Getting there: Vomo, between the Mamanuca and Yasawa islands, is one of the largest private islands in Fiji. From Nadi International Airport, get a 15-minute helicopter transfer or 35-minute speedboat transfer. Louisa Bartolome in Fiji. THE ADVENTURER: Louisa Bartolome Louisa Bartolome wanted to connect with the 'real Fiji' so booked an adventure-themed Intrepid Travel tour for her first visit. She went whitewater rafting down the Sigatoka River, hiked 11km through the highlands of Viti Levu and climbed steep sand dunes. Top spot: Louisa says a highlight was spending two nights in remote villages where she met locals, ate authentic meals and slept in a community hall with her fellow travellers. 'Visiting the villages gave me a chance to learn about the real Fiji, the ecology and get a local perspective,' she says. Traditional houses of Navala village, Viti Levu, Fiji. 'I loved the sense of community in these villages and how everyone works together. The connection with the people and our guides was the biggest highlight for me. I felt this was the perfect way to see Fiji.' Best time to go: Winter, or the dry season, is from May to October and is perfect for adventure activities as rivers are lower for safer whitewater rafting and rain less likely for optimal trekking. Getting there: Visiting Fiji's highland villages is best done with local guides through companies like Intrepid Travel who have connections with local villages. Their eight-day Fiji: Hike, Raft & Snorkel itinerary includes accommodation, most meals, airport transfers and scheduled activities. Cycling the old sugar cane railway on Ecotrax Fiji's electric mounted bicycles. THE PARENTS: Georgia and Liam Tyndale The Tyndales would like to experience island life in Fiji one day, but while their daughters – Xochi, 6, and April, 4 – are still young, the Coral Coast is the perfect base. 'We've looked at staying on the islands but while the girls are young, the Coral Coast makes more sense because it's a much easier transfer,' Georgia says. 'But we make sure to get out of the resort and show the girls a different way of life to what they know. 'We often eat at local Fijian restaurants and last year we did the Ecotrax Fiji day tour where you ride e-bikes along an old railway, passing over bridges and rivers and past villages and schools. We stopped at a private beach for lunch with other families, it was a great day.' Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort is a favourite among families. Top spot: The Tyndales love the Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort for its engaging kids' club, variety of food, family-friendly accommodation and expansive grounds. 'We stayed in a bure and love being able to sit outside with a wine after the girls go to bed, instead of stuck in a hotel room,' Georgia says. 'But it's the staff that make the experience, by the end of the week the girls were calling them all by their first names.' Coral Coast: It stretches along the southern coast of Viti Levu and is the most popular destination in Fiji for its easy access from Nadi International Airport. A wide range of accommodation is found here, from hostels under $100 a night to self-contained apartments and five-star resorts. Getting there: Fiji Airways flies direct to Nadi from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Cairns and Canberra. Transfers link you to the accommodation along the coast.
