General Information Accommodation Ratings To assist with the selection of your accommodation we have created our own rating system allowing you to compare each property. These are personal ratings offered by our people from their own experience and should therefore be used as a guide only. These ratings may alter throughout the year due to a change of circumstances. Moderate accommodation with a reasonable range of room facilities and good level of comfort usually with a wide range of recreational and leisure activities available for guest enjoyment. Superior accommodation offering exceptional level of comfort in rooms with quality furnishings and fixtures. There tends to be greater attention to personalised service and strong focus on quality food and beverages. First Class accommodation, the resorts have a reputation built on quality and exclusivity and offer the very best services with detailed focus on high customer satisfaction and are usually located in prime locations. A half star is noted when the level of service and facilities falls between two grades. Grading accommodation can be quite subjective and generally speaking the standard and services will be in line with the price paid. Please check with your travel consultant to ensure you get the accommodation that best fits your needs. Price Indicator: The price is provided as a guide only. It is in New Zealand dollars based on low season per person share twin pricing unless otherwise specified in the lead in room type and is correct at the time of publishing. The actual price may differ to that indicated in this brochure due to currency fluctuations, special events or peak periods. Your travel consultant will quote you the actual price at time of booking. Child Policy: Please note bedding configuration varies between properties and in some cases with different room types within a property. Some hotels also offer family bonuses and specials. Your travel consultant will help you choose the hotel to best suit you and your family's needs. Look out for our "gems" of information scattered throughout our Fiji brochure.

6 TIPS for your

Fijian Holiday

© Fiji Tourism

Family Fun & Smiles

Snorkels & Flippers

Island Hopping

Everyone knows that the islands of Fiji are the perfect destination for a great family holiday, whether it be with your children or including the grandparents and in-laws.

The Mamanuca Islands are your go to for easy off-beach snorkelling, with resorts such as Castaway Island, Treasure Island and Mana Island Resort all offering the option.

Perfect if you want to experience multiple islands in one holiday.

The Fijian people have such a natural love of children and a strong affinity for the family; from the moment they arrive, kids will feel welcomed and relaxed and will return home with fond memories.

The Yasawa Islands, albeit further out, are where you’ll be able to snorkel with manta rays. Barefoot Island and Mantaray Island Resort offer snorkelling trips to see the rays between May and October.

Denarau Island is a great hub for families providing world-class resorts, including Sheraton Fiji Resort, Radisson Blu Resort Fiji Denarau Island, offering an array of facilities and activities for all.

When staying on Denarau or the Coral Coast, a half or full day island tour is the perfect addition to your itinerary. Our picks – South Sea Island, Malamala Beach Club Fiji and Tivua Day Cruise all offer fantastic snorkelling off the beach.

The Coral Coast’s Shangri-La’s Fijian Resort flanks the beachfront and boasts a children’s playground, new inflatable waterpark, kids club, an extensive range of daily activities, movie nights and a kids TV room. Families are spoilt for choice.

2

All resorts provide snorkelling gear for you to use during your stay or, for the avid snorkelers pack your own before you leave.

Awesome Adventures Fiji offer an incredible selection of packages to island hop the Yasawa and Mamanuca Islands exploring pristine beaches and lagoons with an off the beaten track experience. There are two levels of accommodation standards to suit your travelling style and budget. Small ship cruising with Captain Cook Cruises or Blue Lagoon Cruises is another popular way to explore the remote islands of Fiji with 3, 4 and 7 night itineraries exploring remote beaches and secluded lagoons during the day, while enjoying the cruise facilities and dining experiences at night.

Fishing, Surfing and diving, oh my!

The Pacific Coast for Adventure Lovers

Let’s Talk Beaches

Discover the ‘Supermarket’, Fiji’s most famous dive site and home to resident grey reef sharks, just off Mana Island in the Mamanucas. Beqa Lagoon, rated as one of the Best Shark Dives in the world and immerses you into the natural habitat of eight species of sharks including the Bull Shark and the occasional Tiger Shark.

For river rapids and waterfalls, Upper Navua River forges a deep chasm through the island’s tropical interior – perfect for rafting!

Not everywhere in Fiji lends itself to perfect white sand beaches and turquoise water; you won’t find such things in Nadi or Denarau, but you’ll find paradise by the bucket load in both the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands.

The waters around Savusavu are particularly popular for chartered boat trips and seriously good game fishing. Surfers enjoy infamous breaks such as 'Swimming Pools', 'Restaurants' and 'Cloud Break', while ‘Frigates’ flanks a pass on the barrier reef surrounding Beqa Island.

For something more leisurely, bamboo rafting allows for slow meanders down the Navua River on a traditional bilibili raft.

If you’re after rapids and then some, Luva River can be explored by inflatable kayak, in between hikes, punt rides and kava ceremonies.

For more adrenaline, shark diving in the Beqa Passage offers eight species of shark, and if speed’s more you, Jet Ski Safari Tours are designed for all ages.

Try Yasawa Island itself for seclusion, Vomo Island for premier snorkelling and Monuriki is the island made famous by Tom Hanks’ movie, Castaway. If you’d rather steer clear of boat transfers, Natadola Bay, located on the Coral Coast and off the main island of Viti Levu, is the best beach on the mainland. Ask about day trips that are also available to certain island resorts.

Still thirsty? Enjoy the thrills of Fiji’s biggest zip lines with Zip Lining Fiji; there’s a WHOOSH for everyone, whatever your age.

a holiday experience only a short travelling distance from New Zealand; 3 hour flight from Auckland and a 4 hour flight from Christchurch that offers sun, sea, soft adventure and relaxation. We’re here to help you take full advantage of all these. This brochure showcases a collection of hotels, resorts, experiences and sightseeing tours that we believe Kiwi’s look for in a South Pacific holiday. In fact, the brochure is designed to help you pick your personal Fijian paradise. Explore the accommodation pages and picture yourself on holiday. Some resorts you’ll be instantly attracted to, others may not suit your needs. Think about what you most want from your time away; couples escape, family time, relax and rejuvenate, time away with friends or extended family, or maybe you are looking to celebrate a special occasion with a loved one. Small ship cruising is another way to experience the idyllic Mamanuca and Yasawa islands where every day on your itinerary is different. Consider adding on activities or experiences. Instead of taking a boat to your island accommodation, arrive in style with a helicopter or seaplane transfer. Or if you’re staying on the mainland, add on a full day tour out to the islands. Our sightseeing pages highlight a selection of the best experiences Fiji has to offer. Deciding what time of the year is important to planning your Fiji getaway. From June to September are the cooler months but are also high season. The July and September Australia and New Zealand school holidays are busy periods and we recommend that you book at least 6-8 months advance to avoid disappointment.

Experience Fiji Our favourite things to see and do Garden of the Sleeping Giant – Tucked beneath the foothills of the Sabeto mountain range and just a 10 minute drive from Nadi, these popular gardens boast dozens of varieties of colourful orchids amid a sea of tropical vegetation. There’s a network of walking tracks, lily ponds and great picnic spots for you to enjoy.

Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Temple – On the outskirts of Nadi Town, this is a tranquil spot to reflect or just chill out for a while. The temple is decorated with carved wooden deities all the way from India. Visitors are welcome as long as they’re dressed modestly and haven’t consumed alcohol or meat that day.

Nadi Markets – On offer is a wide variety of fruit, vegetables and other produce and one whole section of the market is dedicated to kava only. This is a great place to stock up for that picnic. The Fijian pineapples are especially worth sampling and are quite a bit smaller but much sweeter than other pineapples.

Ed's Bar – Ed’s is a bit of an institution with a personality all of its own. Most nights it lures a buzzing and mixed crowd of tourists, locals and expats. It’s more than just a watering hole though – they have live bands and there’s a small restaurant attached.

Denarau Marina – Just a 20 minute drive from Nadi,

the marina is the main departure point for half and full day cruises to the beautiful Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands. There are a selection of bars, restaurants, takeouts, shopping and a mini supermarket. It’s a vibrant atmosphere in the evenings and is a popular spot for tourists and locals.

Koroyanitu National Heritage Park – A great place to head if you’re a keen hiker or nature lover, with beautiful walks through native forests and grasslands. You’ll see plenty of birds, archaeological sites and waterfalls.

Denarau Island

Just a hop, skip and a jump from Nadi Airport (20 minutes, to be more NADI BAY

precise), Denarau was once little more than a marina that served as a jumping off spot to the islands. Sure, there was a world-class 18-hole golf course, but if you weren’t into golf, there was little point in sticking around longer than it took for the next ferry to show up.

Yasawa Islands

© Mantaray Island Resort

6

Yes, the Yasawas are all-out gorgeous, and if being a little out of step with the rest of the world appeals to you, you’re going to love it here. It’s even more relaxed than Fiji’s other tourist spots; we like to describe it as going back a couple of decades, Bula time. In fact, a couple of actual decades ago, these islands were regarded as seriously remote. But that’s just the start of their appeal. They have some of the most beautiful beaches on earth – fabulous stretches of white sand, facing dazzling turquoise and blue lagoons. All the resorts are small and a stay here means a complete departure from the world of commerce – no shops, no banks, no traffic, no tension. Just peace, quiet and stunning surroundings. Lodgings range from clean and comfortable backpackers to total luxury but they all have one thing in common: the friendliest service you’re ever likely to find. So, where are these magical isles? Around 3 hours northwest of Nadi by sea, aboard the Yasawa Flyer, better known as ‘the yellow boat’. We advise you to book in advance, as there is only one voyage daily and it’s very popular, with grand views all the way.

Cruising

Fiji

© Captain Cook Cruises

Beating drums and welcoming smiles invite you to step into the cool shade where an immense, carved bowl of muddy-looking liquid awaits you. Sitting cross-legged on a tapa mat, the mild anaesthetic effect of your first bowl of kava can only enhance your overall level of relaxation. Days have been spent watching jewel-coloured fish ride the gentle currents, or lounging on a private beach while the kids feed fish at the water’s edge. Nights have passed under the stars, dining on fresh seafood, reviewing the day’s activities and planning for the next – a yoga session on the beach, a spa treatment or a volleyball tournament? No matter how many times you’ve been to Fiji, a cruise is the perfect way to experience it at its best, discovering the more remote areas and learning about the authentic Fijian culture. You’ll quickly find that the famous Fiji smile is both contagious and incurable.
