Fiji
A tropical island paradise
Entry requirements
No visa required for visits less than 30 days. Canadian citizens must have a passport valid for at least six months following their intended departure date from Fiji. For all other nationalities, consult your consulate or tourist board for details. You can also visit www.voyage.gc.ca for up-to-date information.
Currency
The currency is the Fijian dollar. Bank notes come in denominations of $50, $20, $10, $5 and $2. There are coins in the values of $1, $0.50, $0.20, $0.10, $0.05, $0.02 and $0.01.
Credit cards
Visa, MasterCard and - with exceptions - American Express are accepted in virtually every hotel in major cities throughout the country, as well as in most stores and restaurants.
Eating & Drinking
Any visitor to Fiji should not miss participating in at least one lovo, where traditional food is cooked in an underground oven and presented with cultural entertainment. Most cities and island resorts will also offer a range of restaurants with international cuisine.
Etiquette
It is important to dress modestly when away from the immediate vicinity of the resort or hotel. Always carry a sulu (pareo) to cover swimsuits, shorts and revealing tops. When visiting a Fijian village it is customary to present a gift of yaqona, which is also known as kava. The gift, called a sevusevu, is to be presented to the Turaga ni Koro, the head of the village.
Remove hats in a village so as not to “insult “ the chief and refrain from touching someone’s head (a cultural insult).
Fijians are known as the friendliest people in the world. Your respect for their customs and traditions will not only make you a welcome guest in their villages and homes, but add another dimension to your Fijian holiday.
Tipping
Tipping is not encouraged in Fiji and it is left to the individual to determine whether to offer a gratuity.
Climate
Fiji has a warm tropical climate perfect for beachside holidays and is a key reason for Fiji’s reputation as one of the worlds most desirable holiday destinations. The best months to visit in terms of weather are late March through early December.
Maximum temperatures in Fiji rarely move out of the 26C to 31C range all year round. A cooling trade wind blows from the east south-east for most of the year. It usually drops to a whisper in the evening and picks up again by mid-morning. Fiji does have a wet season. The wet season is normally from late December to mid March and results from the southerly movements of the South Pacific Convergence Zone. The wet season is characterised by heavy, brief local showers.
Health
Fiji has readily available doctors in private practice, standard hospital and laboratory facilities. Private dentists, opticians and pharmacies are also available. The further you get from main cities, the more basic the services. Private consultation and private hospital fees are approximately equivalent to Australian costs.
Telephone
The country code is 679
