Information
The Fiji Islands lie in the southwest Pacific Ocean; they became independent in 1970, after nearly a century as a British colony. Although Fiji is the main centre for tourism in the South Pacific Islands, the numbers of visitors is still relatively small (400,000 annually), and tourists are made to feel somewhat special. Fiji is best known as a romantic destination where you can relax on the beach by day and later enjoy cocktails pondering over a stunning tropical sunset. The dive sights are amongst the best in the world with soft corals, incredible sea life, walls, drifts and shipwrecks to explore. |
