Discovering The Stunning Fiji Islands

Fiji is an exotic collection of islands that draws in travellers from across the world to the South Pacific every year and why wouldn’t it! Although, there are 332 of them, the islands put together only create a small amount of land but you’re definitely going to spend a lot of time in the water.

Located 1,100 nautical miles North East of New Zealand’s North Island, the Fiji Islands are fantastic travel destinations for anyone who is big on their water sports. From surfing, jet skiing and diving, Fiji offers a host of exciting water sports for you to try your hand at and if you are looking to mix it up, you can’t go wrong with a relaxing tour of islands.

Welcome To Fiji

Bula! Welcome to Fiji from Ryan McDowell on Vimeo.

Bula! You’ll find yourself picking up the odd word or phrase as you spend more time in Fiji and bula/Hello is a nice easy start to learning the lingo. The video above shows Ryan McDowell’s experience as he enjoyed a one week layover on he islands. If you’ve got a layover that long in one of the world’s most stunning archipelagos, then you might as well make the most of it!

If you are a fan of the water and have always wanted to get into a water sport, then you can’t go wrong with surfing and what better way to experience it before you go out into the South Pacific than getting the view of an actual surfer. Kelly Slater gives you a fantastic perspective of a surfer as he cuts through the rip curl along the reef in Fiji. Who knows, it could be you barrel rolling along side Kelly the next time he’s out in the water.
