Fiji Travel Guide
A lovely place in the middle of pure untainted nature is Fiji. If there is a
craving for adventure in your soul, the best place to quench it is Fiji. The
name Fiji is the old Tongan word for the islands, which in turn is derived from
the Fijian name Viti. Officially known as the Republic of the Fiji Islands, it
is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean, east of
Vanuatu, west of
Tonga and south of
Tuvalu. The small country of Fiji occupies an archipelago of
more than 300 islands, 106 islands are permanently inhabited, and 522 islets
that are too small to build homes on. There are two major islands, Viti Levu and
Vanua Levu, accounts around 87% of Fiji's population. Viti Levu is country's
largest island, and the site of the nation's capital, Suva, and home to majority
of Fiji's population. Suva is located on the southeast coast in the Central
Division. The second largest island of Fiji is the Sandalwood Island, or Vanua
Levu.
Religion is one of the main differences with the indigenous Fijians and
Indo-Fijians, the former overwhelmingly Christian (97.2%), and next comes mostly
Hindu (70.7%) and then Muslim (17.9%).
The Republic of the Fiji Islands has attractions that can be found nowhere else
and offers a unique experiential opportunity for a traveler and his companions.
A potential favorite for the nature lover, Fiji still has a pure and unique
nature of extreme artistry and peace. Fiji is in splendid isolation with the
striking blue waters of the South Pacific, it has managed to avoid the evils of
industrial progress, the danger of pollution, the rampage of harmful animals and
insects, and deadly diseases such as malaria. The Rugby union is the national
sport that is played in Fiji. The sport was introduced around the 1880s, and now
Fiji is defined as a second home for the rugby nation by the International Rugby
Board (IRB).
Fiji's hundreds of islands are infected neither by diseases nor any toxic
chemicals, but with the sizzle and excitement of the various events or just
plain happy hours. But it can also be quiet and calm nature. Fiji is the only
place where you can swim alongside huge but harmless manta rays by the shore, or
snorkel over the vibrant colored rainbow corals, or even scuba dive and see the
White Wall or the famous Astrolabe Reef.
Fiji is the home of the Cloud Breaker, the name of the six-meter waves found at
Tavarua, which draws surfers from around the world. Fiji is also a place where
you can just float and absorb the calm, quiet waters of the clean lagoon and
absorb the peace. On sunsets, you can walk alone or with companions through the
abundant rain forests. In Fiji the sun shines nearly every day. And when it
rains, everyone would rush outside to enjoy a short raib bath that ends as
quickly as it began. Live and enjoy it all in Fiji, where rushing is not a way
of life, and a new friend is remembered. Here people wear flowers tucked behind
their ears, because they like to do so. Fiji awaits your discovery.
