FIJI


Top 5 Sites and Attractions in Fiji

The top five sites and attractions in Fiji make your Fiji holidays a delightful experience. Although the main attraction to most people is the beautiful warm water and abundance of surf, there are also other ways to enjoy a visit to Fiji and experience unusual adventures.

1. The Arts Village Cultural Centre combines learning about the history of Fiji with seeing samples of the customs and lifestyle. A village has been created where you can watch a “Legends and Battles” show with warriors singing, dancing, and putting on mock battles. Famous are the Beqa Firewalkers who stand and walk right on boulders that have gotten red-hot during other parts of the show. Later you are taken in a raft through a lagoon with stops to learn the skills of wood carving, tool making, and cooking.

2. The Island Temple Tour takes you for a one-hour tour through Ancient Fiji including the “sacred island” with a five-story-high Bure Kalou temple (Spirit House) where you meet a pagan priest. Believed to be the house of ancestral gods, this temple was always a village’s tallest building.

3. A Captain Cook’s Tall Ship Cruise in a restored 110-foot square-rigged Brigantine takes you on a full-day trip to Tivua Island, which has a beautiful beach and 500 acres of coral reefs where you can go snorkeling and reef fishing. A fabulous buffet luncheon is served as well as morning and afternoon tea.

4. The Garden of the Sleeping Giant was a private collection of actor Raymond Burr who fortunately opened it up so the public could enjoy its beauty. The name is from the mountains which look like a giant lying down and sleeping. Over 2,000 types of orchids and landscaped grounds can be viewed from a canopy-covered boardwalk.

5. If shopping is your desired activity, the locally-made arts and crafts are sold by craftspeople and local markets. Crockery, carvings, tapa cloth, and wooden items are the most popular. Just be sure to get a receipt that the wood has been “treated”. Jack’s is a one-stop souvenir shop with amazing finds including Indian saris that start as low as $10.00.
