Fiji "Friendliest People on Earth"

The legendary warmth of the "Friendliest People on Earth" is the single most important factor when you visit Fiji. Travelers are welcomed as guests and immediately embraced into the ever-present culture of the Fijian people.

It seems as if Fiji was created with romance in mind. Here, visitors can marry with a simple exchange of vows on the beach or with an elaborate ceremony in a seaside chapel, and it is legally recognized in the U.S. and Canada. Honeymoons in Fiji are about fulfilling dreams or simply enjoying the perfect, romantic escape, as couples embark on their lives together.

Relaxation is an art form here. Centuries old massage treatments like bobo, are combined with modern techniques to stimulate and soothe the senses. Visitors can literally float on mattresses in a lagoon or be enveloped within a banana leaf amid the sounds of the surrounding primordial rainforest, all while enjoying luxurious spa treatments.

There are so many unique aspects to a vacation in Fiji.

Holiday Travel Tips

Plot connections carefully.
When booking flights, check your search results carefully for sufficient time during layovers, and build in some time for flight delays and weather woes. Particularly during the winter months, peak travel times often bring peak travel delays, and your connection is more likely to be jeopardized. Avoiding really tight connections may save you a sprint through the terminal or a missed flight. Also, it is best if you can muscle your flight path into position so that connections are in places less likely to experience delays -- specifically, airports in warmer climates. For more advice, see our Winter Travel Tips.

Leave early.
During peak travel times, much of the trouble you'll face lies on this side of the security check-in, from traffic jams and full parking lots to absent shuttles and long lines. Rather than striving to "arrive at the airport early," you may want to try to "leave for the airport early" to anticipate all the peripheral delays you may encounter.

Pack wisely.
In the past, you may have been able to fit everything into your carry-on without having to check any baggage -- a strategy we still recommend. However, the TSA rules about liquids and gels make this a trickier proposition. For the record, you may bring liquids and gels in 3.4-ounce or smaller containers, packed within a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. You're also allowed to bring any liquids (such as coffee or water) or gels purchased after you go through a security checkpoint onto your plane with you. If you want to bring more than the 3.4-ounce amount, you'll have to pack the items in your checked luggage.
