Fiji’s Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time of year to visit Fiji?
The best time to visit Fiji is from May to September, when the weather is cooler, drier and less humid - ideal for beach days and outdoor activities.
For fewer crowds and better deals, consider February to April, though it’s warmer with occasional rain.
Peak travel times for Kiwis include July and September/October school holidays, so book 7 to 10 months ahead to secure the best options.
How long should I spend in Fiji?
Most New Zealand travellers spend 5 to 7 nights in Fiji for a relaxing island break.
If you want to combine mainland Fiji with island hopping (Mamanucas or Yasawas), 7 to 10 nights is ideal.
Where to go on holiday in Fiji?
Top places to consider:
- Coral Coast boasts family-friendly resorts and great snorkelling
- Denarau Island offers easy access, luxury resorts and is a great base for exploring
- Mamanuca Islands are postcard beaches with epic water sports experiences
- Yasawa Islands are more remote with untouched beauty
- Savusavu and Taveuni are popular for diving, nature and going off the beaten track
Is Fiji a good holiday destination for New Zealanders?
Yes, Fiji is one of the easiest tropical getaways for Kiwis with direct flights from Auckland, short travel times (approximately 3 hours), no major time difference and year-round warm weather.

Do I need a visa for Fiji from NZ?
No, New Zealand passport holders do not need a visa for stays up to 4 months. Ensure you have a valid passport with 6 months’ validity from the return date, plus a return onward ticket. Stay up to date with visa requirements on Safe Travel.
Where to stay in Fiji?
The best place to stay depends on your travel style. A popular choice for families is Coral Coast, Denarau and Plantation Island. Couples commonly choose Tokoriki, Matamanoa and Yasawa Island resorts for an adults only vibe. If you’re a luxury traveller, Denarau or a private island resort might suit your travel style best, while adventure seekers - Taveuni or Savusavu are perfect for off-the-beaten-path style experiences.
Do I need travel insurance for Fiji?
Yes, travel insurance is strongly recommended. Make sure it covers medical expenses, water activities and adventure tours, and trip delays or cancellations.
Make sure it covers:
What should I pack for my trip to Fiji?
Pack light and tropical:
- Breathable clothing and swimwear
- Reef-safe sunscreen, hat and sunglasses
- Insect repellent
- Reef shoes for coral beaches
- Basic medications
If travelling to outer islands, discuss strict baggage limits on domestic flights with your Fiji travel expert.
What should I wear in Fiji?
Casual, lightweight clothing is ideal. When visiting villages, dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees. Remove hats and sunglasses as a sign of respect.
Can I take food and snacks to Fiji?
Yes, but you must declare all food items on arrival.
Pre-packaged snacks are usually allowed for personal use but check Fiji Biosecurity rules before travelling.
What currency is used in Fiji and should I bring cash?
Fiji uses the Fijian Dollar (FJD). Most resorts are cashless, but it’s useful to carry cash for small purchases, local markets, taxis and tips.
Is Fiji safe for travellers from New Zealand?
Fiji is generally very safe. Use common sense – keep valuables secure, use licensed taxis or transfers and follow water safety advice.
Do I need to hire a car to get around in Fiji?
No, most travellers don’t need a car.
Resorts offer transfers, and taxis and tours are easy to arrange.
A rental car is useful if you want to explore Viti Levu at your own pace.
How can I get around Fiji without a car?
Transport options include:
- Hotel transfers and taxis
- Bula Bus (Denarau resorts)
- Ferries and boats to outer islands
- Domestic flights for longer distances
Island hopping from Port Denarau is the easiest way to explore.

- Namena Marine Reserve offers pristine reefs
- Great Sea Reef (Savusavu) is one of the largest barrier reefs
What are the best things to do in Fiji?
While Fiji is the perfect place to lay on the beach and do nothing, we can also relate to the active relaxers. Experience kaleidoscopic snorkelling and diving, island hop from one sandbank to another and visit local villages for an authentic day-in-the-life. Popularly, book a river safari on the Sigatoka River or celebrate life at the iconic Malamala Beach Club.

Respect local customs. Dress modestly in villages, remove your shoes before entering homes, participate respectfully in ceremonies and always greet everyone with a friendly Bula!
What apps should I use in Fiji?

Why I love travel?
I absolutely love the joy and excitement of discovering new countries and cultures that travel brings. The two years of "no travel" during the pandemic has also taught me that revisiting places I've loved in the past gives me just as much joy! Connecting with people and places is very special and I am reminded of this every day in the job I do.
I love to share my travel and industry experience with my clients so that we can build the best of holidays together!
My travel tips:
- Make a bucket list and I can help make those dreams become a reality. Be sure to leave some space for those spur of the moment activities!
- Always get to the airport early. Much better to be checked in early, relaxing and waiting for your flight than stuck at the back of a queue wondering if you will make it.
- Download your travelling airlines app for flight notifications. Also download the House of Travel app before you depart so that you can access your whole travel itinerary and other useful travel information while you are on the go.
My top 5 favourite destinations:
- Europe - I never tire of visiting Europe. The people, history, food, wine and culture are extraordinary. The best way to see as much as possible if you are short on time is by cruise. You wake up in a different country every day. What's not to love about that.
- USA - this is a country that needs more than one visit to do it justice. Favourite cities in the states for me are New York, Washington, San Francisco, and Portland (Oregon). Then there are all those incredible national parks.
- Hawaii - deserves a mention of its own. Incredible beaches, a lovely climate year-round, fantastic outdoor activities and fabulous shopping. I recommend taking a short plane ride of one of the many magical islands that make up Hawaii.
- Bali - fantastic for a great value getaway whether it be with a group of friends or someone special. The accommodation options are amazing value.... be sure to ask about our villa options.
- Vietnam - has something for everyone even for first time visitors to Asia. Incredibly moving history, beautiful people, fabulous shopping and food, and wonderful outdoor activities.
What's in my suitcase?
- Kindle
- Little black dress
- Shoes I can walk miles in
