Fiji's 333 islands and atolls are the epitome of a South Pacific paradise, with sunshine, palm-lined beaches and sparkling lagoons fringed with coral reefs. Situated 2100km north of Auckland, New Zealand, Fiji has become a major crossroads for both shipping and air travel across the Pacific, and boasts one of the region’s best visitor infrastructures. Fiji's islands are mainly volcanic, with some smaller coral or limestone atolls.
Visitors to the larger islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu will experience the beauty of Fiji's rugged interior with its rivers, rainforests, waterfalls and wildlife. The country's capital, Suva is located at the south-eastern end of Viti Levu, and is the nation's major port and largest city.
Offshore of Nadi, the Mamanucas are known for their idyllic island resorts and sandy beaches, while the outer islands of the Yasawas, Beqa, Toberua and Kadavu offer crystal clear waters, beautiful beaches and superb diving. Visitors to the rugged northern islands of Taveuni and Vanua Levu will find a more traditional Fiji, with an unhurried pace of life, lush rainforest and world-class diving.
