Nature tours in Fiji

Fiji’s wide variety of flora and fauna make these islands excellent for sightseeing. You can choose to explore Fiji’s splendid natural sights while on a professionally guided tour with a tour guide who is knowledgeable about the different forms of nature, or you can go out and look around on your own. Much of the larger islands are covered by rainforests, of which most areas are owned by members of local villages.

Here, you can also find over 2000 indigenous plant species and various bird species, though there are not too many species of land animals. Because there are various flora and fauna species that can only be found in Fiji, sightseeing and exploring the nature around these islands is an interesting and unique experience.

Botanical Gardens

Large, beautiful gardens, including the Thurston Gardens, Garden of the Sleeping Giant and the South Sea Gardens are certainly worth seeing. The Thurston Gardens, located in Suva next to the Fiji Museum, is a public botanical park that brings a calming effect in the center of a bustling city. There are few flowers in this garden, but there are many interesting indigenous trees and shrubs that are all labeled.

The Garden of the Sleeping Giant is located at the foothills of the Nausori Highlands near Nadi. It contains Fiji’s largest and most varied orchard collection and features many other indigenous plants. The South Sea Orchards, near the Burness family home just outside of Nadi, also contains several kinds of orchards, along with a variety of tropical flowers.

Wildlife Parks

One of Fiji’s wildlife parks, the Kula Wildlife Park, serves as a conservation center for the islands’ endangered species and hosts a great variety of other species of wildlife. It is located outside Sigatoka on the Coral Coast and is set around a lightly wooded rainforest with cages holding different birds and other animals, particularly iguanas and colorful birds, including parrots and orange doves. This is a great place to visit if you want to see interesting and various forms of Fijian wildlife up close. To be able to look around here, you must walk around the park for at least one hour, though two or three hours is recommended.

Beaches and Activities

The Fiji Islands contain a large variety of beautiful and luxurious beaches where you can participate in different recreational activities. Some are also located near resorts, which allow guests instant access to them.

Watersports, such as surfing, water skiing, surfing, scuba diving and snorkeling, can be done on many of the beaches. Colorful coral reefs and many forms of marine life are found in Fiji’s clear, tropical waters, which makes underwater activities like scuba diving and snorkeling even more exciting and memorable.

Villages

There are various local villages in Fiji which you can visit through tours and participate in village activities, particularly the traditional kava ceremony. One Fijian village, Nukusere, lies below the junction of the Wainikoroilova and Wainitonuve rivers on a bank overlooking the Navua River. It has about 250 village members and is one of the most traditional Fijian villages because of its isolation from the more “modern” areas of Fiji.

Another village named Viseisei is fabled to be near the area where the first Fijians settled around 3500 years ago. It is located just 15 minutes by taxi from the Nadi International Airport, so the village location is also convenient for those who need a break before continuing on with their journey to other villages or other various locations and is also visited while on certain tours.
