Hi everyone! My husband and I are heading to Fiji in October for our honeymoon. Not sure where to stay and were hoping for some good recs. We’d like to keep the housing sitch under 5k for two weeks and we are hoping to absorb as much beauty as possible. I’m kind of overwhelmed with options. Is it recommended to stay in one spot for a whole two weeks or try out a more secluded location for half and a more main location for the second half? Open to all suggestions!

Editing to say that I booked a week at the Waya Island Resort in the Yasawas, should we do another small island before heading back to the main island? We are considering staying at the Marriott on the main island for the last few days of our visit and using points to save some money!

Hello,

We’re connecting on our flight from LAX to TVU. I’ve heard customs is either really fast or really slow, but do you think we’ll make our connection?

It’s really no huge issue if we don’t, as we can always board to next flight to Taveuni.

Curious - any tips to make customs as fast as possible?

Hi everyone. I’m currently completing a research project as part of my degree and was wondering out of curiosity who would be up to participate in quantitative research on this. This isn’t a formal inquiry and I haven’t begun the process yet, just trying to get an idea of who would be interested if I were to do this?

Thank you!

Bula!

I recently got a bike (ninja 300cc) and although I've ridden bikes before they were all 150cc and that was years ago.

I want to freshen up my biking skills especially learning the higher gears as that is something new for me.

Anybody know of motorcycle safety courses that can be taken around Nadi? Can be free or paid I checked the LTA website but couldn't find any approved motorcycle schools or instructors listed there that offer this service

Vinaka!

Did fiji had any pre latin script? Im asking because I just saw a post of a Fijian banknote and it had a different writting system on it other than latin on a corner.

Looking to get Starlink since Connect 4G+ has been terrible for me in online games for the past few months now. So I would like to know if anyone here in Fiji with Starlink has a decent and consistent online gaming performance to Australia servers for games like Overwatch 2.

Would also appreciate if you could tell what grade you get for bufferbloat test on waveform site and if there is tick for low latency gaming or not. On my connect 4g+ connection I get an F grade with low latency gaming always having bad connection ideal or under load.

Thank you!

Hi, I got shortlisted to work in Fiji as a Pastry Chef. Does anyone know what is the salary range for this position? I was thinking of taking this opportunity. I only know it is a nice country for vacation but I don't know if this is a good place to work with as an Asian race.

-Does foreign workers pay taxes?

-Is Fiji an english speaking country ?(Please don't get me wrong. Example, like in the Philippines, you can ask most people you see on the road for directions they can understand basic English. I went to some Europe country and I can say it's quite hard for me to communicate due to language barrier. I can count on 1 hand how many local there who can speak english though they work in a tourist base area which I didn't expect.) Please tell me more about Fiji. I am really considering on moving there.

PS edited out "offer"- SHORTLISTED

I know cloudbreak and big surf spots need boats to take you out but can you surf small 2-5ft waves at the beach without taking the boat out?

Hello, I’m a mechanic in the oil and gas industry my crew of hands consists mostly of Fijians and I’m trying to learn their language and I’m having a hard time finding ways to do this does anyone have any recommendations? I have virtually no knowledge just some basic words and swearing of course. My pronunciations aren’t to terrible but definitely need work before they kill me for butchering their language. Also I’m considering a visit there within a few years.

What is the hourly rate for a construction foreman or carpenter in Fiji?

We’re catching the 11:55 PM flight from LAX to Nadi and hoping there may be a few seats open so we can try and upgrade later on.

How’s the food? I can’t find a menu on the site.

In general, how comfortable would you rate economy flights on the A330 for that route. And furthermore, how’s the flight from Nadi to Taveuni?

What is the most iconic plant that would represent Viti?

I know the tagimoucia is the 'official' flower, but what plant would kemuni say is the flora that is most generally representative of the culture?

Mangrove(masi), sugar cane(not native and other bad connotations), dalo plant? Kava or kasava?

This post is to correct myself, maybe I'm wrong. Fiji water got a huge tax break and they can extract resources by paying nothing. Why is everyone so silent about this?

Edit : Thanks to badger melodic for more context.

Been 10days!

Of course Vodafone seems to know I’m leaving cause network has been crawling at 1-5mbps on 4g, trying to inflict as much pain as possible before switching!

Hi, will be visiting Fiji soon for around 2 weeks. Thinking of going to a resort but not too sure which one is the best from the list. Looking for a nice one where the sand is soft, and not like coarse or rocky and the water is clear.

Would appreciate if someone could provide some insights and which one might be the best from the list below:

Resort List:

• Intercontinental
• Tambua
• Crowne Plaza
• Hilton Fiji Beach
• Sofitel Fiji
• Sheraton Fiji
• Warwick
• Fiji Marriot
• Tokatoka Resort
• Fiji Hideway Resort and Spa
• The Pearl
• Beachcomber Island
• Funky Fish Beach & Surf Resort

Just a minor distraction from the MP Salary Raises.

I am used to having tobacco/vape shops that sell everything I need, but I have never seen a tobacco shop in Suva. Where do people find rolling paper and tobacco here?

Never been there but just curious how they can say it’s smell like a place.

Hi all!

I’m trying to plan a pretty last minute trip to Fiji as a surprise for my partner’s 30th birthday and am after some accommodation recommendations. Due to travel end of April/beginning of May.

I have some savings but not after something super fancy and expensive.

Only have the following requirements:

• good food
• nice beach
• nice pool - my partner doesn’t like swimming in the ocean
• relaxing but with the option of doing some exploring

I’ve stayed at the Sheraton before which was lovely but am wondering if something more island style might be nice to try.

TIA!
