might go to fiji next march. anyone been here? what's it like
It's pretty epic, man. What would you like to know? How long are you going for?
>>2833704probably like 2 weeksi like resorts, got any resort recommendations?
>>2833722Well to be honest I was only there for a week and only stayed at one resort, WayaLailai, which was a good move because the other people I met regretted that they were only staying there for a couple of nights, trying to see more of the country instead of fully embracing Fiji time.You're probably going to land in Nadi, and then the big fancy resorts are all a 20 minute drive away at a place called Denarau. I wasn't feeling that because they're overly luxurious, commercialised, expensive. I don't really see the point of Fiji if you're going to be surrounded by rich white golfers and influencers taking pictures by swimming pools.I got a ferry out to the Yasawa island chain which is about a 2 hour boat trip. There are fancy resorts there too, but also cheaper and more authentic ones. These are islands with no roads etc. I spent the week snorkeling, hiking, relaxing in paradise. And it really is paradise.If I had another week I'd probably take a flight to Vanua Levu, just get somewhere as remote as possible. There's one literally called The Remote Resort which has great reviews, looks pretty sweet
>>2833635I've been wanting to check it out too. There are direct flights from my city and they're fairly cheap.Anybody have any thoughts on the food down there? Seems heavy on coconut, which I love.
>>2833635Flying there next week to spend a month or two in the Yasawa Islands. Will post a trip report maybe
>>2833732>I got a ferry out to the Yasawa island chainHey cool. That's where I'm going. I imagine the hiking is excellent there because you have to hike to get to other towns because no roads? What kind of travellers on the Yasawa Islands?
>>2833777nta i stayed in westin which is meh and the beaches in denarau are shit brown colouredbut loved my stay in the northern islands, two resorts namely Octopus and Blue lagoon resort. Pretty beaches, sunsets and lovely vibes
