Best Time to Visit Fiji
The best time to visit Fiji is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During these months, the weather is sunny, the humidity is low, and the water visibility is at its peak, making it ideal for diving and snorkeling. The 'shoulder' months of April and November can also be excellent, offering warm weather with fewer crowds. The wet season (December to March) brings higher temperatures and humidity, along with occasional tropical storms, though this is when the tropical foliage is at its most vibrant.
Currency & Money
The local currency is the Fijian Dollar (FJD). While luxury resorts and major shops in Nadi and Suva accept all major credit cards (Visa and Mastercard being the most common), it is highly recommended to carry some cash for tips, small village purchases, or local markets. Tipping is not mandatory in Fiji but is always appreciated for exceptional service. Many resorts have a 'Staff Christmas Fund' box where you can leave a collective tip for the entire team at the end of your stay.
Getting Around Fiji
Getting around the Fijian islands requires a mix of transport methods. For this luxury itinerary, domestic flights operated by Fiji Link are the fastest way to travel between Viti Levu, Taveuni, and Vanua Levu. For island groups like the Mamanucas and Yasawas, seaplanes and private helicopters offer the most scenic and efficient transfers. On the main islands, private chauffeured cars are the standard for high-end travel, providing comfort and local insight that public buses cannot match.
