Top 5 Things to Do in Fiji

Unmissable experiences for every traveller

Dreaming of a holiday in paradise? Look no further than Fiji, where turquoise lagoons, lush rainforests, palm-fringed beaches and world-class hospitality harmonise to create the ultimate tropical escape. Whether you’re after total relaxation, thrilling adventure, cultural immersion or unforgettable family moments, you’ll find it all here in the heart of the South Pacific. 

From reef snorkelling to river safaris, Fijian culture to pure poolside bliss, here are our top five things to do in Fiji, curated by the holiday experts at My Fiji.

1. Explore the best of Denarau Island

If you’re staying near Nadi, your Fiji holiday isn’t complete without a day exploring vibrant Denarau Island – the South Pacific’s largest integrated resort destination. Just 20 minutes from Nadi Airport, Denarau offers:

  • Find handcrafted souvenirs, designer fashion, duty-free goods, wine and gourmet treats when you go shopping at Port Denarau
  • Indulge in a range of cuisines across laidback cafes and stylish waterfront restaurants, and dine with panoramic ocean views
  • Enjoy family-friendly fun and cool off at Big Bula Waterpark, Fiji’s largest inflatable water park.
  • Experience golf with a view when you tee off at the championship 18-hole course at Denarau Golf and Racquet Club

Don’t miss the local cultural shows and traditional Fijian spa treatments available throughout the resort precinct.

2. Take a thrilling Sigatoka River Safari

For travellers seeking adventure with a cultural twist, the Sigatoka River Safari is one of Fiji’s top-rated tours, and a must-do on Viti Levu’s Coral Coast.

This unique experience combines high-speed thrills with authentic cultural encounters: 

  • Zoom along the Sigatoka River with 360-degree spins and dramatic views of Fiji’s lush interior on a jet boat adventure
  • Visit a Fijian village and meet the locals to learn about their way of life. Participate in a traditional kava ceremony for a mix of culture and ultimate relaxation
  • Immerse yourself in Fijian culture when you take a tour. Each tour visits a different village to reduce tourism impact and share economic benefits.

It’s an unforgettable way to see the real Fiji beyond the resorts, all while having the time of your life.

3. Snorkel Fiji’s colourful coral reefs

Home to some of the world’s most vibrant underwater ecosystems, Fiji is a snorkeller’s paradise. Swim alongside tropical fish, manta rays, sea turtles and coral gardens in warm, crystal-clear waters. 

Top snorkelling spots in Fiji include: 

  • The Mamanuca Islands, perfect for beginners and families 
  • The Yasawa Islands are remote, unspoiled and teeming with marine life 
  • The Beqa Lagoon, known for its colourful coral reefs and reef sharks 

With the My Fiji Island Experience, you can snorkel in the pristine waters around Kadavu Lailai Private Beach, a secluded paradise accessible only via this My Fiji-exclusive tour. Expect incredible marine life, beachside butler service and unforgettable views.

4. Immerse yourself in authentic Fijian culture

Fiji’s heart lies in its people and traditions. While many resorts offer cultural nights with meke dancing, fire shows and local cuisine, one experience stands out: 

Fiji Untold Show at VOU HUB – Fiji’s premier stage production that blends traditional storytelling with modern performance art. Held in a 450-seat Big Top tent in Nadi, this energetic show features:

  • Live Fijian drumming 
  • Dazzling dance sequences 
  • Storylines that reveal the depth and beauty of Fijian heritage 

Don’t just visit Fiji, understand it, feel it and connect with its cultural soul.

5. Embrace ‘Fiji Time’ and simply relax

Sometimes the best thing to do in Fiji is nothing at all! Embrace the island’s laidback lifestyle, known locally as Fiji Time. Slow down, unwind and soak up every glorious second in paradise.

Our favourite ways to relax in Fiji:

  • Sip fresh coconuts in a poolside cabana
  • Treat yourself to a traditional Fijian Bobo Massage
  • Bathe under the filtered sunlight of swaying palms on a white-sand beach, with sea breeze keeping you cool

The world-renowned Malamala Beach Club, just 25 minutes from Denarau, is the first island beach club in the world. And when you book with My Fiji, you get exclusive access to the My Fiji Deck, complete with:
