Fiji Facts:

Fiji is an archipelago of over 300 islands (about 100 are inhabited) scattered across 200,000 square miles of ocean. The islands are primarily volcanic in origin with high rugged terrain. Other smaller islands are of coral or limestone origin. The largest island and population center is Viti Levu, and Fiji's international airport is located at Nadi in the north-west. Fiji is blue lagoons, stunning white beaches, colorful fish-filled reefs, lush forests, and is home to around 780,000 friendly people.

Fiji enjoys a warm and pleasant temperature throughout the year - average 72°F in the mild, dry season of May through October. Dress for Fiji is cool and casual, though swimsuits and brief attire should be confined to beaches and hotel swimming pools.

A current passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry is required to enter Fiji. Visas are not normally required if you are a US citizen. You must, however, possess an onward ticket out of the country. Inoculations are not required unless a traveler is entering from a designated infected area. Passengers 16 years and over leaving Fiji must pay a departure tax of F$20.00 (Fijian currency). (1.00USD=1.80400FJD). Fiji time is 12 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time.
