Fiji, officially called the Republic of Fiji, is located in the South Pacific and is made up of about 322 small islands and a plethora of beaches, bays, and volcanic formations. The most

It is also here where you can catch ferries and boats to one of the many other islands and beaches.
In 1874, Fiji came under British control as an official colony. It is at that time where the island and eventually the entire country came to learn English. From then on, only with the exception of the period of internal conflict in the 1970s, 1990s, and throughout 2000, it has been a member of the Commonwealth. You\’ll notice that on your Fiji island vacation that you\’ll be warmly and graciously greeted, all in the English language, which makes travel here quite relaxed and easy.

Most of the time, you won\’t have to supply your own gear and are almost guaranteed to catch at least a few fish. Or, if fishing in Fiji is not your cup of tea, try taking a stroll in one of the lush forests that you\’ll find on any number of the islands. Or, sit back and enjoy the ocean breeze. You can also opt to take a tour of one of the many sugar cane fields that have been in operation for over a hundred years.
If you are in search of adventure while on your Fiji island vacation, be sure to stop by any number of outdoor companies offering any number of packages for kayaking, whitewater rafting, and snorkeling.
