Advice levels

Exercise normal safety precautions  in Fiji.

• Crime in Fiji includes robbery, theft, violent assault, sexual assault and home invasions. Most crime is opportunistic. The highest risk is in urban areas and at night. Be careful in downtown Suva after dark.
• Credit card fraud and ATM card skimming occur. Protect your PIN and be alert when using ATMs. Regularly check your card and bank statements for fraud.
• Avoid protests, street rallies and areas with military activity. Protests can occur with little warning and can turn violent. Local authorities sometimes set up checkpoints and close roads. Follow their advice and monitor media for updates.
• November to April is cyclone season, but cyclones may occur at other times. They can cause flooding and disrupt essential services. Know your accommodation’s evacuation plan. If a cyclone is approaching, find your nearest shelter and follow the advice of local authorities.
• Flooding is common, especially in downtown Nadi and on the Coral Coast. Floods can cut off road access, including to the airport. Follow the advice of local authorities.

Full travel advice: Safety

• Fiji has only one hyperbaric (decompression) chamber located in Suva. If you're diving, stay well within safety limits.
• There are risks of leptospirosis and mosquito-borne illnesses in Fiji. Make sure your vaccinations are up-to-date. Protect yourself against mosquito bites.
• Stay away from flooded rivers or creeks and wear footwear when outside. Monitor the Ministry of Health and Medical Services  website and  Facebook page for information and updates.
• Cases of typhoid, zika and dengue are present throughout Fiji. Medical care standards in Fiji aren't as high as in Australia. Medical facilities often lack services, equipment and drugs. You may have to pay up-front. If you're seriously ill or injured, you’ll need medical evacuation to Australia.

Full travel advice: Health

• Don't use or carry illegal drugs. Penalties include prison sentences, even for possessing small amounts of drugs.
• Fiji recognises dual nationality. Always travel on your Australian passport. If you're a dual national and you're arrested or detained, ask to contact the Australian High Commission.
• Outside of tourist areas, Fiji's dress standards are conservative. Take care not to offend.

Full advice

Crime that occurs in Fiji includes:

• violent assault, including sexual assault
• home invasions

Most crime is opportunistic and is exacerbated by cost of living pressures in local communities. 

You're most at risk in urban areas and at night, including downtown Suva, Denarau Island and other tourist areas.

Be careful when visiting tourist attractions in Suva, including Colo-i-Suva. Be aware of your surroundings and keep your personal belongings secure.

Credit card fraud and use of skimming devices occurs.

To reduce your risk of becoming a victim:

• keep car windows up and doors locked, even when moving
• keep bags and valuables out of sight in vehicles
• don't carry excess cash and jewellery
• protect your PIN and be alert when using ATMs
• check through your credit card and bank statements for fraud
• where possible, use ATMs where a security guard is present

More information:

• Partying safely

Cyber security 

You may be at risk of cyber-based threats during overseas travel to any country. Digital identity theft is a growing concern. Your devices and personal data can be compromised, especially if you’re connecting to Wi-Fi, using or connecting to shared or public computers, or to Bluetooth.

Social media can also be risky in destinations where there are social or political tensions, or laws that may seem unreasonable by Australian standards. Travellers have been arrested for things they have said on social media. Don't comment on local or political events on your social media.

• Cyber security when travelling overseas

Civil unrest and political tension

Demonstrations and protests.

Avoid any protests, demonstrations, rallies, public gatherings and areas with military activity.

Although rare, public protests and events that draw large groups can turn violent. 

Follow the instructions of local authorities and monitor the media for updates.

Local authorities sometimes erect checkpoints and close roads. Follow their advice.

• Demonstrations and civil unrest

Terrorism is a threat worldwide.

Climate and natural disasters

Severe weather.

Fiji experiences natural disasters and severe weather , including:

• flooding and landslides
• earthquakes and tsunamis

Severe weather may affect regional sea ports.

In the event of severe weather or a natural disaster:

• always carry your passport in a waterproof bag
• keep in touch with family and friends
• check the media and other local sources for information
• follow the advice of local authorities
• know and follow your hotel or cruise ship evacuation plan

For details of weather conditions, including cyclones, check Fiji Meteorological Service .

• Fiji National Disaster Management Office
• World Meteorological Organisation Severe Weather Information Centre
• Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System

November to April is cyclone season, but cyclones may occur at other times.

A tropical cyclone's direction and strength can change quickly.

During and after a cyclone:

• adequate shelter may not be available
• flights from and to affected areas can be delayed or suspended
• available flights may fill quickly

If a cyclone is approaching, find your local shelter. In some areas, it may be hard to find sturdy cover. Follow the advice of local authorities.

For cyclone updates, check:

• Fiji Meteorological Service
• Fiji National Disaster Management Office Facebook page

Flooding is common in Fiji, especially in downtown Nadi and on the Coral Coast.

• Fiji NDMO Facebook  
• Fiji Meteorological Service 
• Fiji Roads Authority Facebook page

Earthquakes and tsunamis

Earthquakes and tsunamis can occur in Fiji.

Be alert to warnings. A tsunami can happen within minutes of a nearby tremor or earthquake.

If authorities issue a tsunami warning (by siren and/or news announcements), check with your accommodation provider about evacuation plans.

Move immediately to high ground if advised by local authorities or if you:

• feel a strong earthquake that makes it hard to stand up
• feel a weak, rolling earthquake that lasts a minute or more
• see a sudden rise or fall in sea level
• hear loud and unusual noises from the sea

Don't wait for official warnings. Once on high ground, monitor local media and follow local authorities' advice.

• Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre
• Travel insurance

Get comprehensive  travel insurance  before you leave.

Your policy needs to cover all overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation. The Australian Government won't pay for these costs.

If you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. This applies to everyone, no matter how healthy and fit you are.

If you're not insured, you may have to pay many thousands of dollars up-front for medical care.

• what activities and care your policy covers
• that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away

Cruise ship evacuations

In recent years, a number of Australians have had to evacuate from cruise ships to Lautoka and Suva for medical care.

Often, this is due to pre-existing medical conditions.

Declare any pre-existing conditions to your insurer.

Remember to extend your insurance if you extend your trip.

Physical and mental health

Consider your physical and mental health before you travel, especially if you have an existing medical condition. 

See your doctor or travel clinic to:

• have a basic health check-up
• ask if your travel plans may affect your health
• plan any vaccinations you need

Do this at least 8 weeks before you leave.

If you have immediate concerns for your welfare, or the welfare of someone you know, call the 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 or contact your  nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate  to discuss counselling hotlines and services available in your location.

• General health advice
• Healthy holiday tips  (Healthdirect Australia)

Not all medication available over the counter or by prescription in Australia is available in other countries. Some may even be considered illegal or a controlled substance, even if prescribed by an Australian doctor.

If you plan to bring medication, check if it's legal in Fiji. Take enough legal medication for your trip.

Always carry your prescription or a letter from your doctor stating:

• what the medication is
• your required dosage
• that it's for personal use only

Authorities may arrest you or confiscate restricted medication if you don't have the right documents.

Health risks

Current health risks.

There are cases of typhoid and leptospirosis in Fiji. Stay away from flooded rivers or creeks, and wear footwear when outside. Monitor the Ministry of Health and Medical Services  website and  Facebook page  for information and updates.

Fiji has experienced an outbreak of measles in the past. Make sure your vaccinations are up-to-date before you go.

Meningococcal disease

Meningococcal disease can often be fatal.

Get vaccinated before you travel.

If you notice a high fever, sensitivity to light or nausea, get medical treatment straight away.

• Meningococcal meningitis fact sheet

Kava, a traditional Pacific region drink, can be a health risk.

It can be dangerous if it reacts with:

• prescription medication, including antidepressants
• Kava fact sheet

Insect-borne illnesses

Fiji is prone to dengue and Zika virus outbreaks.

If you're pregnant, discuss your travel plans with your doctor and avoid affected areas.

Monitor local news for health updates.

To protect yourself from disease:

• make sure your accommodation is insect-proof
• use insect repellent
• wear long, loose, light-coloured clothing

Get medical help if you have a fever, muscle pain, rash or severe headache.

• Infectious diseases

Other health risks

Waterborne, foodborne and other infectious diseases are common. These include:

• leptospirosis
• tuberculosis

Serious outbreaks sometimes occur.

To protect yourself against illness:

• drink boiled water or bottled water with sealed lids
• avoid ice cubes
• avoid raw and undercooked food, such as salads

Get medical advice if you have a fever or diarrhoea.

Seafood toxins

Eating seafood can be a hazard.

Naturally occurring seafood toxins can make you ill, including:

• ciguatera fish poisoning
• scombroid (histamine fish poisoning)
• toxins in shellfish

Get urgent medical care if you suspect poisoning.

• Seafood poisoning

Medical care

Medical facilities.

Medical care standards in Fiji aren't as high as in Australia.

Hospitals and medical facilities can lack:

• extra services
• specialist equipment, including neonatal
• diagnostic equipment
• infection prevention control measures
• pharmaceuticals

Many hospitals provide only basic care.

Rescue and emergency services aren't as wide-ranging as they are in Australia.

In medical emergencies, hotels and resorts use public health facilities.

Before they admit patients, hospitals usually need:

• a payment guarantee
• confirmed medical insurance
• an up-front deposit

If you become seriously ill or have an accident, you may need to be evacuated to Australia. Medical evacuation can be very expensive. Ensure your travel insurance covers this.

Diving accidents

Fiji's only hyperbaric (decompression) chamber is at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital in Suva. 

You should dive well within safety limits.

Make sure your travel and health insurance covers you for diving-related costs.

You're subject to all local laws and penalties, including those that may appear harsh by Australian standards. Understand local laws before travelling.

If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our Consular Services Charter . But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.

Court proceedings can go on for a long time. The Australian Government can't influence the time this takes.

The police and military have detention, arrest and search powers.

You can go to jail for possession of any quantity of illegal drugs. This includes if you are:

• Carrying or using drugs
• Partying safely with drugs

Drunk and disorderly

You can be arrested for being drunk and disorderly, including while you’re at an airport or on a plane. You can be fined and detained if you cause damage to property or assault others, including first responders.

Australian laws

Some Australian criminal laws still apply when you're overseas. If you break these laws, you may face prosecution in Australia.

• Staying within the law and respecting customs

Dual citizenship

Fiji recognises dual nationality. Always travel on your Australian passport.

If you're a dual national and authorities arrest or detain you, ask to contact the Australian High Commission.

However, we may only be able to assist you in exceptional circumstances.

• Dual nationals

Local customs

Outside of tourist areas, the dress code in Fiji is conservative. Dress respectfully when visiting village areas.

Same-sex relationships are legal, but some locals have conservative attitudes towards them. Open displays of affection could offend locals, particularly in rural areas.

Take care not to offend.

• Advice for LGBTQIA+ travellers

Visas and border measures

Every country or territory decides who can enter or leave through its borders. For specific information about the evidence you'll need to enter a foreign destination, check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering. 

Tourist visas

If you’re travelling from certain countries , including Australia, you don't need a tourist visa for Fiji. If your stay is less than 4 months, authorities will issue a visa when you arrive. 

To get a visa on arrival, you must show proof of booked accommodation and a return ticket.

Before travelling to Fiji, check Tourism Fiji's  Frequently asked questions about travelling to Fiji  page.

Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. Contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Fiji for details about visas, currency, customs and quarantine rules.

Other visas

You may need a visa if you travel for other reasons. Contact the Fiji High Commission for more details.

• Fiji High Commission in Australia
• Fiji Department of Immigration

Strict customs rules apply for importing items, such as:

• sexually explicit material
• Fiji Revenue and Customs Service

Some countries won't let you enter unless your passport is valid for 6 months after you plan to leave that country. This can apply even if you're just transiting or stopping over.

Some foreign governments and airlines apply the rule inconsistently. Travellers can receive conflicting advice from different sources.

You can end up stranded if your passport is not valid for more than 6 months.

The Australian Government does not set these rules. Check your passport's expiry date before you travel. If you're not sure it'll be valid for long enough, consider getting a  new passport .

Lost or stolen passport

Your passport is a valuable document. It's attractive to people who may try to use your identity to commit crimes.

Some people may try to trick you into giving them your passport. Always keep it in a safe place.

If your passport is lost or stolen, let the Australian Government know as soon as possible:

• In Australia, contact the  Australian Passport Information Service

If you're overseas, contact the nearest  Australian embassy or consulate

Passport with 'X' gender identifier

Although Australian passports comply with international standards for sex and gender, we can't guarantee that a passport showing 'X' in the sex field will be accepted for entry or transit by another country. Contact the nearest  embassy, high commission or consulate of your destination  before you arrive at the border to confirm if authorities will accept passports with 'X' gender markers.

• LGBTQIA+ travellers

The local currency is the Fiji Dollar (FJD). ATMs are common in urban areas and large resorts. Carry cash when you travel to villages or remote areas. Local banks and ATMs will charge fees for cash withdrawals.

Not all retail outlets will accept credit cards. Those that do will charge a fee between 2-5%.

You can easily exchange Australian dollars for FJD.

You must declare:

• amounts of more than FJD5,000 (or equivalent) when you arrive in Fiji
• amounts of more than FJD10,000 (or equivalent) when you leave

This covers all forms of currency, not only cash.

Local travel

Severe weather  can affect tourist services, including roads and flights in and out of Fiji.

Local restrictions

Monitor the Fijian Government  Facebook page  for information and updates about restrictions and curfew hours.

• Fiji Ministry of Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport website

Tourism services or products

Transport and tour operators may not follow safety precautions. They may also not maintain their equipment to the standards you'd expect.

This includes operators of:

• adventure activities such as scuba diving, snorkelling, rafting and skydiving
• boats in rivers, coastal waters and between islands

Sometimes boats, rafts and kayaks don't have enough life jackets.

If you plan to do a tour or adventure activity:

• check that your insurance policy covers the activity
• before booking, check the operator's safety history and their safety equipment
• use only well-known and registered operators
• ask about and insist on minimum safety requirements
• always use the safety equipment, even if others don't

If you aren't given safety gear, or it's not in usable condition, use another provider.

Driving permit

Always carry your Australian driver's licence.

You can hire vehicles and drive in Fiji using your Australian driver's licence for the first 6 months after your arrival.  After that, you'll need to apply for a Fijian driver's licence at a local Land Transport Authority office.

If you want to ride a motorbike, check if your licence covers you for this. Driving without the correct licence can void your insurance.

If you want to drive a boat, check if your licence covers you for this.

• Fiji Land Transport Authority

Road travel

If you drive in Fiji, take care. Driving is most risky at night due to:

• poor street lighting
• stray animals
• poor road quality
• Driving or riding

Taxi quality varies. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) licenses taxis. Only use licensed taxis, which have yellow registration plates. Look out for the LT or LH registrations on the license plate. LT plates are metered taxis. LH taxis have fixed distance rates.  Before you catch a taxi, make sure you have cash (Fiji dollars) for payments and that their meter is turned on. Be aware some taxis only have a seatbelt in the front passenger seat. You may need to plan ahead to book a taxi with front and rear seatbelts. 

Public transport

The LTA licenses some, but not all, minibuses. Unlicensed minibuses may not have insurance.

Only use those with yellow number plates that have been LTA-approved. 

• Transport and getting around safely

Before boarding any boat or ship, check the operator's credentials and safety equipment. 

Make sure your insurance policy covers you for sea travel.

Don't travel on a sea vessel that is over capacity.

• Travelling by boat

DFAT doesn't provide information on the safety of individual commercial airlines or flight paths.

Check  Fiji's air safety profile  with the Aviation Safety Network.

Emergencies

Depending on what you need, contact your:

• family and friends
• travel agent
• insurance provider

Consular contacts

Read Before You Leave – Fiji

Turquoise water, white sand, a blissfully slow pace and only a four-hour flight from Sydney. It’s no surprise Australians flock to Fiji. To help you plan a holiday to Fiji, we’ve pulled together a list of everything you need to know before you go, including which parts to see and the best times of year to visit.

Flight Time

Qantas flies directly from Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney with flight times ranging from three to seven hours. Flights from Perth include a stop on the east coast. 

Entering Fiji

Australian passport holders do not require a visa to travel to Fiji for tourism purposes. Visas for stays of less than four months are issued on arrival, as long as you can show proof of a return ticket and accommodation.

Flying into Nadi International Airport

Nadi International Airport is located about 10 kilometres outside the city of Nadi on the island of Viti Levu . It’s 192 kilometres north-west of Fiji’s capital, Suva. Connect to a domestic flight or a boat transfer to one of Fiji’s many islands or drive 20 minutes to the resorts of Denarau Island.

SEE ALSO: 10 of the Best Things to Do in Fiji

Other medical advice.

• Medical facilities in Fiji are not as comprehensive as in Australia, with regional hospitals generally providing a basic level of services. Make sure you purchase comprehensive travel insurance before your trip. 
• Outbreaks of mosquito-borne illnesses, such as dengue fever and Zika virus, have been known to occur in Fiji. Apply insect repellent at all times and cover up with long clothing as much as possible in rural areas. 
• Kava, a traditional alcoholic drink, can be dangerous. Smart Traveller recommends Australians avoid it, especially if taking medications including antidepressants. 
• Stick to bottled water and avoid ice cubes to minimise the risk of water-borne illnesses.

Possession of any quantity of an illegal drug could result in a prison sentence. It’s illegal to be inebriated at an airport or on a plane in Fiji. If in doubt, exercise caution.

The language barrier

English is widely spoken in Fiji, as are Fijian and Hindi.

Transport tips

Nadi International Airport is on the island of Viti Levu. To get to the other main island, Vanua Levu, and elsewhere in Fiji, it’s possible to take a short domestic flight, a ferry or a resort boat transfer, depending on your destination. Metered taxis are plentiful on the main islands.

SEE ALSO: Which Fijian Island is :Your Perfect Match?

Money matters.

One Australian dollar is equivalent to $1.47 Fijian dollars at the time of writing – check a reliable currency conversion service for up-to-date exchange rates.

Even if you mostly plan on staying in a hammock at an all-inclusive resort (likely), make sure you have cash handy for trips to nearby villages. While there are ATMs (including Westpac and ANZ outlets) in Nadi and at some hotels, smaller towns rely on cash.

"Fiji time" is real – the slow pace of life means things can sometimes take longer than they might in other places. Be patient and respectful when waiting for service in a restaurant or elsewhere, and never raise your voice – it might be interpreted as rude.

When visiting a village, dress modestly, take off your shoes and hat before entering a home and smile at everyone you pass – it's considered poor form not to acknowledge each other.

Weather wise

The climate in Fiji is tropical and mild. Average temperatures range from about 25-31°C year round. The seasons are similar to Australia – it’s warmer from November through to April and cooler between May and October.

Fiji’s wet season, November through April, coincides with its summer. Rainfall is significantly higher during this period, although downpours tend to be limited to just an hour or two in the afternoons. It’s the ideal time to take in the lush landscape (when you can drag yourself away from the pool, that is) – tropical flowers are in bloom and Fiji’s waterfalls are at their most epic. 

October and November brings the Rising of the Balolo – and your chance to try a local delicacy – when edible sea worms known as "the caviar of the Pacific" emerge from coral reefs. Taste traditional Indo-Fijian dishes during Holi in March, when Hindus douse each other in brightly hued powders to celebrate the annual festival of colours.   

Travellers looking for as much sunshine as possible should visit during the dry season between May and October, although the beaches are more crowded and prices are higher in response.

National Fiji Day, the anniversary of the country’s independence from British colonial rule, is a public holiday every 10 October. Also falling in October, the annual Hindu celebration of Diwali is marked by fireworks, light displays and delectable sweets. 

Fiji is generally a safe place to travel. However, visitors to Fiji may fall victim to petty crimes such as theft or ATM skimming. Avoid walking alone at night in urban areas, particularly downtown Suva, lock your car if you have one and keep expensive valuables out of sight.

SEE ALSO:  15 Kids’ Clubs That Prove Fiji Is the Ultimate Family Destination

Fiji is a tropical holiday destination, so feel free to dress in clothes you’d typically wear to the beach. But when visiting a traditional village, dress more conservatively (see etiquette above).

The water that comes out of the tap in Fiji is not the same as that famous bottled water. It’s generally safe to drink tap water at major hotels and in popular tourist areas like Nadi and Suva, but some visitors do complain about the taste. Outside of these centres, tap water may not be safe to drink.

Insurance policy

Smart Traveller recommends all visitors to Fiji take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover overseas medical costs, including evacuation. 

Travel safely

Where to stay.

There are countless resorts and hotels to choose from in Fiji. The beaches near Nadi, mainly Wailoaloa and Denarau Island, are the most convenient locations for international travellers, just 20 minutes from the airport.

The Mamanuca Islands and Yasawa Islands are just off the western coast and can be easily reached by boat, seaplane or helicopter – you’ll be at your hotel within a few hours of touching down at Nadi International Airport.

The Coral Coast, on the southern end of Viti Levu, is another popular spot for tourists. It’s best to organise a transfer for the one-hour drive from the airport.

Those who want to get off the beaten path should visit Vanua Levu, Fiji’s second-largest island. It’s less tourism-oriented but has a good range of accommodation options.

Where to find a secluded beach

Savusavu: Located on the Coral Coast, Savusavu’s clear waters are filled with native sea life, including parrotfish, clownfish and giant clams, making it a top pick for snorkelling and scuba adventures.

Horseshoe Bay: The idyllic shores of Matangi Island, including Horseshoe Bay, are only accessible if you're on a yacht or staying at the private resort . Guests can take lunch in the hotel's specially designated picnic bure that rests on the shore. 

Nalova Bay: Head to Nalova Bay on Nacula Island for turquoise water and white-sand beaches. The beach is fed by a lagoon that’s home to a range of coral and sea life.

Honeymoon Beach: Hidden in the private paradise of Turtle Island Resort , this is the spot to go for total seclusion. The resort is only open to 14 couples – with 12 beaches on the island, privacy is all but guaranteed.

Phone calls and mobile data

To avoid hefty international fees, disable data roaming before you land and don’t answer incoming calls. You can buy an international SIM card before leaving Australia or purchase a local SIM at the airport (this will only work if your phone isn’t locked to your Australian carrier). Or don’t – real life can wait until you get home.

To call Australia, dial +61 followed by the phone number – including the area code minus the zero. So, to call a Sydney landline telephone, you would dial +61 2 then the phone number. To call a mobile phone, use the same country code and dial the mobile number minus the first zero. 

If you have an Australian phone or local SIM, you’ll be able to access fast internet in populated areas, although coverage can be patchy in rural parts of Fiji. Wi-Fi is available at most hotels, many restaurants and other public places.

In Fiji the voltage is 240V, compared to Australia’s 230V, and the frequency is 50Hz, the same as Australia, so most devices will work without issue. The electrical wall socket is the same shape as in Australia, so you don’t need an adaptor.

Travel to Fiji from Australia: The Perfect Itinerary

That’s right – it’s time to get ready to travel to Fiji from Australia! 

The long-awaited Fiji travel bubble with Australia is official and we are just days away from the official reopening of this travel route. For Australians who have had little to no chance to travel beyond their state’s –let alone their country’s– borders, the recent travel bubble announcement was as sweet as that first sip from an ice-cold coconut with your toes dipped in the cashmere-like sand. 

Not only will Aussies be delighted at the news, Fiji’s Prime Minister, Frank Bainimarama, announced that the easing of restrictions will include removing quarantine requirements for New Zealand, the US, the UK and also most Pacific Island nations too! Now is the time to consider this beautiful archipelago as your next travel destination. 

From sipping cocktails on a floating bar in the middle of the turquoise ocean to scuba diving with manta rays and traditional Kava ceremonies, Fiji’s vast array of activities offers something for every traveller. However, with so much on offer, the task of deciding where to go and what to do can be a little daunting. That’s why, with the help of our trusted Local Designers in Fiji , we’ve put together the perfect Fiji itinerary for you to make the most of your time! 

But first, let’s address the important Fiji reopening details.

As of 11th November 2021, tourists from New Zealand, the US, the UK, Pacific Islands and Australia to Fiji will have no quarantine requirement. However, the official Fiji reopening date remains as 1st December 2021, when Fiji Airways will recommence tourism flights. Qantas and Jetstar have also announced the return of Fiji flights from Sydney from mid-December. 

Those flying to Fiji from these countries will be required to show proof of full vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours before departure. Upon arrival, visitors will be required to go straight to their accommodation, where they will spend the first two days of their trip. You can pick from any one of Fiji’s resorts or hotels – we hear the Hilton Fiji Resort in this itinerary is pretty perfect. 

During these two days, visitors won’t be confined to their hotel rooms. Instead, they’ll have free use of the hotel’s amenities until the 48 hours is up, and a rapid diagnostic test will grant them the freedom to explore the islands’ safe travel regions, take part in tours, eat at local restaurants, and so much more. 

If you’re looking to enter Fiji from any other country, you’ll be required to do a mandatory 10-day stint in a quarantine centre before a negative test clears you to travel around the islands.

The good news is that Fiji is a year-round destination; it never gets too chilly. The year is split into a wet season and a dry season; the wet season spans November to April and the dry season from May to October. 

During the wet season, you can expect rain showers to last anything between five minutes and a few days. However, in between, you’ll have beautiful sunshine and lush jungles thriving with nature and thunder waterfalls to explore. Bear in mind that temperatures can drop to around 18 degrees Celsius at night year-round. If you’re used to warmer climes, you should pack a light jacket. 

Surfers looking for the ideal wave or divers looking for ultimate visibility may want to hold off until the dry season comes back around. Check out Smart Traveller ’s advice on when to travel to Fiji for more.

The Perfect Fiji Itinerary

Made up of 333 islands, Fiji is an exquisite mass of land characterised by tropical rainforests, spectacular coral reefs, incredible white-sanded beaches, volcanic mountains and dazzling waters. This fully-customisable 13-day authentic tropical island getaway offers you the chance to delve into the Fijian way of life, take part in unique, local experiences and indulge in this secluded paradise. 

For the benefit of getting to the exciting part, this itinerary presumes the two-day hotel quarantine is already complete. 

You’ll be welcomed onto Denarau Island, where swatches of palm trees, sandy beaches and world-class resorts and restaurants will define your stay. As the gateway to many other islands in the archipelago, Denarau is the perfect place to begin your Fiji trip. 

Today, you’ll leave one paradise for another, Malolo Island in the Mamanuca Islands. A short ferry will bring you to Likuliku Lagoon Resort, the first and only resort in Fiji with authentic Fijian-style over-water bures. Situated within its natural lagoon fringed by a spectacular coral reef and protected marine sanctuary, the resort’s magnificence shines through. With a strong focus on Fijian culture, traditional architecture and local produce, it will be the perfect introduction to South Pacific luxury. 

Today, the day will be free to either relax at the resort and make use of your private plunge pool and sunbathing deck as well as the resort’s plentiful non-motorised watersports at your disposal, or to take part in some local tours. You can choose to join a personalised tour of the resort’s Iguana Sanctuary to learn all about how the Fijian Crested Iguana has thrived on Malolo Island. Alternatively, the traditional village experience will introduce you to how indigenous landowners live in the local villages of Yaro and Solevu.

Today is another free day to spend as you wish. An island-hopping tour around the stunning Mamanuca Islands comes highly recommended. You’ll visit the famous ‘Castaway Island’ where the movie itself was filmed as well as Mana Island, Matamanoa Island and finally, MonuRiki Island where you’ll stop for a swim, snorkel and walk along the beach. 

Embrace the unique ambience of Cloud 9 Fiji today as you cruise to the country’s only two-level floating platform complete with a surround sound system, sun decks, an internationally stocked bar and an Italian wood-fired pizzeria. The entire experience allows you to relax whilst being surrounded by nothing by azure seas for as far as the eye can see. 

Dip below the surface to an entirely different world just as beautiful as the one above it, if not more with the resort’s very own dive centre today. A short boat ride from the lagoon, you’ll arrive at the dive site where vivid waters, abundant hard and soft corals and colourful reef fish await your arrival. With a choice of 44 dive sites in the vicinity, you can expect to encounter dolphins, manta rays, turtles, sea caves, shipwrecks and so much more. 

Much less travelled than other islands in the archipelago, Yasawa offers a unique cultural experience like no other. Flying via Denarau, you’ll arrive in Yasawa in the afternoon where you’ll have the chance to dive straight into cultural activities. With the permission of the village chief, you’ll be welcomed with a traditional dance and have the chance to take part in a lovo, a traditional Fijian feast!

You’ll have the opportunity to take part in even more cultural activities today or you can relax and indulge in the resort’s many inclusive activities. Surrounded by beautiful waters, you can also head to any one of the island’s ten beaches for the day, take a kayak from the resort and explore the lagoon or even head out on a catamaran trip. 

Just when you thought your Fiji vacation couldn’t get any better, today brings more exciting opportunities to explore. To begin the day, you’ll travel to the Blue Lagoon Caves to explore this spectacular natural phenomenon and swim within its hidden chambers, linked to the sea by underwater passages. To add a dash of romance, your afternoon will be spent on one of the island’s many deserted beaches with a beautiful, fresh picnic courtesy of the resort. 

The day is completely free for you to spend as you wish. Yasawa Island is characterised by its rugged volcanic rock with sheer cliffs which drop off into the sea making for some of the most amazing underwater limestone coral formations and drop-offs. The diver in you will not want to miss the opportunity to scuba dive here!

Today is a day of tradition. To kick it off, you’ll be invited to enjoy a demonstration of freshly-caught seafood and local produce being cooked to perfection in traditional Fijian style with local herbs and spices. In the afternoon, it will be time for your first taste of Kava. That is if you haven’t already sampled this unique Fijian drink. Traditional Kava ceremonies are a fundamental part of the culture on Yasawa Island and this experience will be something that leaves a lasting imprint on your heart.

Today, you’ll leave Yasawa behind and take a flight back to Nadi where you’ll check into the Hilton Fiji Resort for your final night. Creating a perfect circle for your Fiji trip, you’ll end your adventure under the swaying palm trees and on the white-sanded beaches of Denarau. 

You’ll leave Fiji with a heart packed with memories!

With spectacular mountain and jungle scenery, pristine beaches and charming local culture on offer, Fiji makes for the perfect destination.

Australia to Fiji: What to Know Before You Go

A Fiji family holiday offers everything we’ve all been craving these many long months spent at home. Sandy beaches, strong cocktails, salmon-coloured sunsets, and plenty of time spent soaking in an infinity pool await. But first, there are a few extra steps you need to take in your journey to paradise.

Visitors must stay in a CFC-approved hotel such as the Sofitel Denarau.

With the flight time from Sydney to Fiji a very short 4 hours, the extra paperwork will quickly be forgotten when you step into Nadi airport and smell those first fragrant hits of frangipani.

What you need to know before travelling from Australia to Fiji

• Check Smart Traveller to see if there are any up-to-date travel warnings. Also, be aware that if there is a “Do not travel” notice in place it may void some of your travel insurance. Don’t forget to register your trip while you are there so the government knows where you are if something happens while you are away.
• Buy a travel insurance policy that covers ‘COVID-19 Medical Coverage’. We went with Cover More .
• Those over 18 years of age need to be double vaccinated. Have your international vaccination certificate ready at check-in for both flights and hotels. Follow the instructions here to download it.
• At the moment, you need to get a private pre-departure COVID-19 PCR test with a negative result. We pre-booked our PCR test with Histopath and took the printed receipt with the barcode to a drive-thru testing facility where they scanned it and sent it off for the extraordinary test. We received our negative result via text that afternoon and the full pathology report via email the following morning. You need to print the full PDF and carry it with your travel documents, Histopath is also offering pre-departure airport testing for those flying from Sydney to Fiji or Melbourne to Fiji. We paid $AUD100 for ours but different labs have their own pricing and the airport tests are already about $AUD80
• The Care Fiji Commitment outlines the steps both locals and visitors are taking to keep everyone as safe as possible during the pandemic. Part of this mandate is that hotels and tour operators need to be deemed safe and added to the approved lists on their CFC site. You will need to pre-book and pay for your transfers to and from the hotel with an approved CFC company . We simply booked through our CFC-approved hotels.
• You have to prepay the first few nights of your CFC-approved hotel. We chose the Sofitel in Denarau and the Intercontinental in Natadola Bay for our recent trip.
• Pack and wear a mask at the airports and on the plane.
• Download the CareFIJI app . It works the same way our QR check-ins work at home. You simply scan the QR code when entering a cafe or shop.

Preparing to return home

• We had to undergo 72 hours of hotel-based quarantine. This has since been scrapped by the Fiji government. But, it’s a good idea to check this before booking your tickets.
• You need to have a Rapid Antigen Test within 48 hours of entering the country. This can generally be organised through your hotel. Ours was processed within 30 minutes and we were free to continue to enjoy the hotel and safe travel zones outside.
• Within 72 hours of your departure from Fiji, you will need to do another PCR test. We did ours at the hotel. It is recommended you get it as soon as you are able to within that window to allow for processing time.
• You’ll need to complete your Australia Travel Declaration at least 72 hours out from your flight. You can do these on the ATD app. However, it does take a little time to complete and lodge so don’t leave it for Nadi airport.
• There is currently a nightly curfew in place in Fiji. Check here for updates to the Fiji curfew rules.

These are just some of the things you need to know about travelling from Australia to Fiji right now. So, please check with Tourism Fiji and Smart Traveller before you jump on your flight to Fiji.

With requirements changing regularly in line with the international health landscape please treat this as a general guide only. You will need to do your own research and check with your individual government bodies before booking your Fiji holiday.

What are the covid vaccination rules for fiji.

If you're 16 or over, you must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. No quarantine or approval is required if you fulfil this requirement. You must, however, have evidence of travel insurance with international coverage for COVID-19.

Do you need to provide proof a Covid test on arrival?

No, international travellers are no longer required to take a COVID-19 test upon arrival to Fiji. Furthermore, Fiji has reduced the mandatory isolation period for those who test positive from seven days to five days.

Do I need to wear a mask on a flight to Fiji?

Yes. Not only that but prior to entering the terminal, within the terminal, on arrival and in airport lounges.

Do I need to wear a mask in Fiji?

Not on the ground outside of the terminal. The wearing of masks is optional and social distancing requirements are no longer being enforced. 

Do I need travel insurance to travel to Fiji?

To quote Smart Traveller “if you can’t afford travel insurance you can’t afford to travel”. What’s more, medical care standards in Fiji aren't as high as in Australia. Surgeries often lack the services, equipment and drugs considered standard at home. You may also have to pay up-front for treatment and if you're seriously ill or injured, you’ll need medical evacuation to Australia. In other words, get that insurance.

Aside from Covid, do I need any other vaccinations to travel to Fiji?

Not specifically, but to be extra safe be sure you’re up to date with jabs for typhoid, zika and dengue and protect yourself against mossies. 

What happens if you test positive in Fiji?

You will go into iso for five days and a PCR test can be requested to verify the result if required by your insurance company.

What do I need to know about kava?

That it’s properly potent, that the locals you're drinking it with have built up a serious tolerance (to both the drink itself and curious tourists) and that it can react adversely to alcohol and medication such as antidepressants.

Do I need a visa for Fiji?

If you’re travelling on an Australian passport and your stay is less than four months, authorities will issue a visa when you arrive. To get a visa on arrival, you must show proof of booked accommodation and a return ticket.

What to wear in Fiji?

Remember that this is a deeply religious and conservative country so be respectful with your outfits when leaving the resorts. Especially in villages.

Can you drink the water in Fiji?

You should be fine in all resorts and major urban centres.

How long is the flight to Fiji?

A flight to Nadi from Melbourne takes around four hours and 45 minutes.

Should you haggle in Fiji?

Nup. It’s not really part of the culture and can come across a bit rude/entitled.

What is the currency of Fiji?

The Fijian dollar: $A100 equals roughly $150 Fijian dollars.

What is the best time of year to go to Fiji?

May to September is best for beach holidays while November is April is both wet and amenable to the odd cyclone.

Is Fiji safe?

Yes, but exercise the same degree of caution as you would at home. Downtown Suva at night can be a little dicey and as with most other destinations, credit card fraud and ATM can take place so protect that PIN.

Fiji Entry Conditions

14 February 2023: Effective today, 14 February 2023, international travellers to Fiji will no longer be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination and travel insurance. This move comes following careful consideration of the global and national COVID-19 situation by the COVID-19 Risk Mitigation Taskforce (CRMT) and applies to both arrivals from air and sea. Previously, all travellers 16 years and above were required to produce proof of full vaccination and travel insurance covering COVID-19. As reported by the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS), Fiji’s hospitalisation is low, owed to our community-wide immunisation and in-country surveillance capacity. Notably, the focus remains on implementing COVID safe measures around those vulnerable to the severe effects of COVID-19. The MHMS also reports 100 percent of Fiji’s estimated adult population have received one dose and 95 percent received the second dose. The vaccination of our target population has been progressing well with the 12 years and above coverage rate for Fiji being 99 percent for Dose 1 and 89 percent for Dose 2. Furthermore, as of the 8 February, 170,867 (54.6%) booster-eligible individuals have so far received their 3rd dose while 29,208 individuals have been administered the 4th dose. Therefore, consistent with the experience in other countries with high vaccination rates, Fiji will no longer have any COVID-19 related border health measures. Fiji’s Border Authorities will continue to review border health measures and maintain community surveillance for early warning of future threats while fostering socio-economic recovery. Fiji’s economic recovery continues on the back of a strong tourism rebound. In 2022, visitor arrivals to Fiji reached 71.1 percent of 2019 levels (636,312) with a strong forecast for the first quarter of 2022. Ends.

Coronavirus Fiji reopens border to fully vaccinated residents, citizens and permit holders in Australia

Ten months after giving birth to her son in Melbourne, Farisha's parents will finally be able to meet their grandson as Fiji's international border reopens to Australia today.

Key points:

• From December 1, Fiji will allow quarantine-free travel for fully vaccinated people from select countries
• Before then, eligible travellers to Fiji will be required to complete three nights quarantine on arrival
• Australia's Minister for the Pacific, Zed Seselja, will travel to Fiji today 

But from now until December 1, only fully vaccinated permit holders, Fijian passport holders and returning residents can travel to Fiji, according to Smart Traveller.  

Since Farisha's son is an Australian citizen, she had to apply for a special permit for him to travel to the country.

Farisha, who only wants to be known by her first name, said the reunion would be "a very happy moment". 

COVID-19 travel restrictions barred Farisha and her family from travelling between Fiji and Australia and she says her relatives are "desperate" to see the pair. 

"They're more excited to see my son than to [see] me," Farisha told the ABC's  Pacific Beat  program.

"For the past 10 months I've been looking after my son, staying home and I'm eagerly waiting to go to Fiji." 

Those travelling to Fiji before December 1 will need to complete three nights quarantine, at their own expense.

"I booked the flight to go to Fiji on December 2, but my parents and siblings are so desperate [to be reunited with us] that they are willing to pay for my quarantine in hotel," she said. 

The Fijian government only granted her son an exemption on Wednesday, a day before borders reopened. 

"I have to book for my COVID testing and then I have to book for my hotel quarantine," Farisha said. 

"So, there's a lot of things to follow up." 

Pacific minister to meet with Fiji leaders

But her 10-month-old son is not the only Aussie to be allowed to enter Fiji.

Australia's Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Zed Seselja, will travel to Fiji today to meet with the country's leaders to discuss security, tourism, trade, sports, and that country's response to COVID-19.

"Over one million Australian vaccines and extensive medical assistance have helped Fiji to control the pandemic," Senator Seselja said. 

"I look forward to meeting Fiji's frontline heroes, whose selfless efforts have saved countless lives." 

While Fijians in Australia dust off their passports, Fiji-based IT student Raenal Chand wants to know when he can return to study in Australia. 

"We don't want to be stranded here and also ... other people here, they want to visit families in Australia from Fiji," Mr Chand said.

"I was thinking the Australian government [would have] also announced that they will be opening to us [after] looking at our vaccination rate and looking at generally the 'vuvale' of friendship [and] the partnership we've got." 

Mr Chand said it was only fair, given that almost 90 per cent of Fijians were fully vaccinated. 

Fiji's boarders will open to fully vaccinated travellers from Travel Partner Countries for quarantine-free travel from December 1. 

Travellers will be required to undertake RT-PCR tests 72 hours before departure and remain in Care Fiji Commitment certified hotel or resort for the first three days after arriving.

Senator Seselja said Australian tourists would play a critical role in Fiji's economic recovery from COVID-19.

Sailing to Fiji

Finally, another way you can get to Fiji is on a sailing yacht. Fiji is conveniently located at the centre of the Transpacific journey between the US and New Zealand. The yachting season is between May and October.

Fiji Sailing Formalities

Fiji Customs requires that all yachts arriving in Fiji from overseas need to submit an Advance Notification form at least 48 hours before arriving. There are seven ports of entry in Fiji:

• Port Denarau Marina, Viti Levu
• Lautoka, Viti Levu
• Vuda Marina, Viti Levu
• Suva, Viti Levu
• Savusavu, Vanua Levu
• Levuka, Ovalau Island

Yachts must go through a clearance process, flying the yellow Q flag on arrival and giving permission for officers from the Port Health, Customs and Agriculture Quarantine to board and inspect the yacht.

Travel to Australia and Fiji

Are you ready to explore the wonders of the Australian Outback and exotic shores of Fiji? Vacationing to Australia and Fiji is the perfect blend of exotic and adventure, romance and thrill, nature and culture.  You can book a trip to Australia’s major cities like Sydney and Melbourne to sightsee all of the iconic Aussie hot spots; then fly over to the beautiful island shores of Fiji to escape the city lights and find yourself surrounded by peaceful landscape and friendly natives.

Both destinations complement each other and together create the perfect romantic getaway or family vacation. Activities include scuba diving, nature walks in rainforests and national parks, kayaking crystal clear lagoons, relaxing on pristine beaches, shopping the local markets, sightseeing and museums, or enjoy a day cruise out to sea.

Serenity now: These are the 8 best adults-only resorts in Fiji

Royal Davui Island

As private as private can get, this speck in the Beqa Lagoon is limited to a maximum of 32 guests. Each villa has its own plunge pool and they will even set you up with a secluded picnic on Castaway Sand Cay. There a bunch of great inclusions in the tariff too, such as cooking classes and access to a village church service – which is soaringly uplifting experience in itself.

Tokoriki Island Resort

This place has more awards than Oppenheimer, with 36 freestanding beachfront bures and villas. It’s as luxe as luxe can get and we love the fact that there are no TVs, phone or wireless internet access in the room. The spa offers a three-day unlimited massage package, the jetty champagne and sashimi dinner is next level and the bar does a banging happy hour with live music from 5.30 to 7.30pm.

Lomani Island

With a name that actually means ‘love’ in Fijian, this resort proves that adults only resorts needn’t be astronomically expensive. Many of the rooms have private jacuzzis, the breakfast is included in your room rate and if surfing is on the agenda, you’ve got a bunch of breaks nearby. It’s also just 15 minutes away from the Cloud 9 floating day club.

Tropica Island Resort

The most impressive aspect of this four star resort is the variety of accommodations. Starting at an entry level beachfront bure through to the Sanctuary Pool Suites, all come with private outdoor raintree showers. There is just the one restaurant – Lakalaka – and for around $133 per person per day you get full board and three meals a day.

Likuliku Lagoon

The main drawcards here are the overwater bungalows a la Maldives and exclusive access to the Mociu Private Island – just a 15 minute boat ride away. Everything about this resort is hypersaturated in sapphire hues and each of the rooms include Soga internal thatching woven by artisans from the Lau island group. We can also confidently tell you that you won’t find better food in Fiji. Gregory Llewellyn – who created Sydney icon Harts Yard – is executive chef and a gourmet magician.

Matangi Private Island Resort

Okay, you might have to save up for this one but gosh it’s worth it. Only a dozen bures are dotted around the 97 hectare island which itself is rimmed by coral reefs. The spa is top notch – try the Vichy shower and salt scrub. Horseshoe Bay is part of the island and one of the best beaches in the Fijian Islands. Bliss. Photography by Jason Dutton-Smith.

Plonked in the cerulean waters 30 clicks from Nadi Airport, this bijoux bauble of a resort houses a mere 47 rooms – divided into beachfront pool villas, beachfront pool bures and resort rooms. There are also a range of immersive cultural experiences – meke dancing, kava ceremonies and traditional lovo cooking.

Waya Island Resort

Low-key elegance are the bywords here. Golden sand, 45 degree palms, outdoor massage bures and guided hikes through the jungle all contribute to this melange of magnificence. It only opened last year so the 17 bures and communal areas are brand spanking new. Definitely do one of the low-tide reef walks and yes, the hotel will provide you with shoes.

Development assistance in Fiji

Health security in Fiji

Australia is Fiji's primary partner in the health sector and is responding to Fiji’s most acute health priorities. Our support is aligned with the priorities of Fiji's Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS).

Australia was a key partner in Fiji’s response to COVID 19, including through the delivery of over 1 million vaccines and wrap around support; more than 97 tonnes of PPE, medical supplies and equipment; funding to recruit staff to bolster Fiji’s local health workforce; and the deployment of Australian Medical Assistance Teams (AUSMAT) to support Fiji’s response.

We also support Fiji's health security through our disaster response programs, partnership with the World Health Organisation, Pacific Regional Health Program, antimicrobial research and support for COVID-19 vaccine access.

Australia's health program is strongly aligned with Fiji's Ministry of Health and Medical Services Strategic Plan. The strategic focus areas are intended to enhance curative and preventive health services in partnership with the Ministry of Health through quality investments. The program works at three levels of the health system: national systems, health providers, and communities.
