The wet season extends from November to April and is characterized by brief but heavy down pours. Cyclones do occur in Fiji but are usually restricted to the wet season and the annual rainfall is around 2000mm to 3000mm on the coastal areas and up to 6000mm in the mountainous highlands.

Dress for the climate with day and night casual comfort in mind. T shirts, shorts, airy light cotton dresses, short sleeve shirts and comfortable sandals are ideal and is all you will need along with your swim wear. Jeans and a light jacket are all that is required for the cooler months (June to August) or for when out on the water during the evenings.

Traditional sulus also known throughout the Pacific isles as pareau, lap lap, lava lava, or sarong are ideal casual wear for both men and women. Sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat are a must when out in the sun as are a pair of crocs or reef walkers for when swimming or snorkeling around the coral outcrops and reefs.

Fiji is known as the “Isle of Smiles”

FIJI is a multi-cultural nation with a population of 800,000, it’s a unique mixture of indigenous Fijians, Indians, Chinese, Europeans and the resulting blending of cultures with English being the accepted language.

Fiji is also known as the “Isle of Smiles” for its warm and friendly people who will meet you with a big smile and the famous BULA greeting. The pure Fijian spirit and culture is alive and thriving as is evident in their everyday lifestyle, arts, crafts, music and dance (or meke pronounced meckae).

Visitors should be aware not to offend local cultural sensibilities. Ultra brief swimwear and revealing clothing is acceptable within the resort confines but definitely not for village visits or when in public spaces and shopping in the towns.

As far as personal safety is concerned Fiji is considered to be one of the safest holiday destinations in the world, but as in anywhere else in the world situational awareness and commonsense should always prevail.
