What to do
Fiji is a paradise for outdoor activities. The numerous reefs that the islands have are perfect for water sports. Some beaches offer great waves for surfing, although it takes a boat to get out of the reef areas and reach the surf line.
On dry land you can go cycling, trekking and horseback riding, or watch the native birds and explore the various archaeological sites.
For those who like to walk the best is to go to the interior of the island and know the volcanic soil, following towards giant cascades hidden in the forest, not to mention the isolated villages. A great adventure, full of beautiful landscapes.

Travel documents
Depending on the country of origin, they must submit for the issuance of the passport tourist visa with a minimum validity of six months, possession of round trip airfare and proof of financial means. Currently, there is no tourist visa requirement that stays in the country for less than 90 days.
Climate
Tropical humid and temperate. Fiji is a great destination at any time of year, but the ideal is to visit the country during the dry season between May and October - temperatures are cooler, there is less humidity and rain, and there is less possibility of cyclones.
Health and vaccination
Vaccination against hepatitis A, typhus, poliomyelitis, diphtheria and tetanus is recommended. Also recommended are clothing that covers the whole body and repellents against flies and insects, which transmit viral illnesses. Medical care services by European standards are not guaranteed on all islands. It is important to have health insurance valid throughout the world and to explicitly ensure the repatriation of Fiji or transfer to another country in case of an emergency. In addition, it is recommended to consume bottled water without adding ice; the fruits should be peeled and the vegetables and boiled vegetables. Since there is a danger of infection, you should also bring a small kit of medicines.

Gastronomy
There are four types of cuisine: local or Fijian, European, Chinese and Hindu. The local cuisine consists of typical dishes prepared with fish, seafood, breadfruit, taro (dalo), cassava (tavioka), beef, rice, chicken, coconut juice (lolo), tropical fruit (guava, pineapple, mango) and several green leaves, such as taro (roro) or fetal. Any Fijian food should include meat or fish, boiled taro leaves, drizzled with coconut cream and cassavas boiled as garnish. Hindu food is heavily seasoned and consists of curried beef with rice, lentil soup and roti (a type of bread). Chinese dishes are often scrambled with meat and fried vegetables, rice and some spicy curry dishes.
