Fiji is an archipelago of 332 tropical islands situated between Hawaii and New Zealand. While only 110 of these are inhabited, each is surrounded by a ring of coral reef, which combined with the sapphire waters of the South Pacific makes for very special diving.
There is a thrilling clash of cultures to welcome you during your stay on one of the many, very hospitable Fijian islands, with a cultural kaleidoscope including the Melanesian, Polynesian, and Micronesian.
