Ever been to Fiji? Sure, you might think, “Been there, done that, got the dreamy Instagram snaps.” But trust us; if you’ve only lounged like a green lizard at the resorts, you’ve merely scratched the surface. Prepare to rediscover Fiji as a Matai Specialist – where happiness meets adrenaline.
Synonymous with paradise on earth, Fiji has been the post-pandemic dream destination for record numbers of Australians seeking tranquillity amidst its luxurious resorts, pristine beaches, islands, and breathtaking sunsets.
Yet, beyond these drool-worthy vistas lies another world rich in thrilling adventures waiting to be explored.
Because in Fiji, happiness doesn’t just emanate from its picturesque landscapes or beautiful culture and people; it also springs naturally from its adrenaline-charged escapades.
Whatever you’re up for, there’s a Fijian escapade for everyone.
Adventure Beyond Your Wildest Dreams
First off, let’s talk waves. The iconic Cloudbreak isn’t just for surfing legends, though they certainly love it. Ready to try your hand (or board) on one of the world’s top waves? It’s the perfect mix of thrill, challenge, and downright fun.
And if surfing’s not your gig, how about freediving or descending even deeper into the blue with some of the ocean’s most majestic creatures in Beqa Lagoon? Shark scuba diving here isn’t just a tick off the bucket list. It’s a heart-thumping, awe-inducing experience you’ll never forget.
Whether you’re snorkelling with manta rays, SUPing over the magical reefs or setting off on a sea-kayaking or jet-ski safari, there are heaps of fun things to do both on and below the water.
Fiji’s zip-lining scene is a must-try for those who believe happiness is also found in the sky. Picture this: soaring over lush forests in Momi Bay with the wind as your companion and a panoramic view of Fiji’s archipelago – it’s not just a ride; it’s an airborne escapade.
Keen on a slower-paced kind of thrill? You might prefer to hike inland to explore equally beautiful rainforests, secret waterfalls and rugged peaks. You’ll find them pleasantly uncrowded and free from dangerous animals, snakes or spiders.
Waya, Waya Lailai, and Kuata islands are particular favourites, with options ranging from easy tracks along the coast to secluded beaches to guided peak hikes that provide fantastic panoramas over the islands.
And, for the cherry on top, head to Fiji’s centre for adventure, both above and below water and less than an hour’s drive from Fiji’s capital Suva, Pacific Harbour. It’s where adrenaline marries natural beauty, resulting in a lovechild of thrilling fun, with activities ranging from river tubing and white water rafting to jet boating and 4WD tours.
