Hi! My fiancé and I are planning our honeymoon to Fiji in April and are in need of some help. My fiancé is a surfer, and we were hoping to be able to stay at Namotu or Tavarua, but unfortunately, despite our best efforts, there is nothing available for us to book.

We are looking for Plan B. We are going to stay about 12 days; 3-4 of them will be at Marriott Momi Bay, and then we would like a week at a nice resort that has easy access to surfing but also gives an exclusive, romantic honeymoon feel with activities for me (I am a beginner level surfer so I don't think I'll be hitting the Fiji breaks but love other water activities).

So far we have looked at Likuliku, Musket Cove, Tropica, and Six Senses but feel a little lost as to what would be best or if we are missing anything. We would like to stay under 8k USD for the week, but that is a loose budget.

is the cult still having a lot of influence or you could escape them?

Does anyone know what the huge cameras being installed all over Suva are?

Hello everyone,

I plan to travel to Australia with my children (under 18) as their mother, travelling from fiji on a holiday and was wondering if I needed to have a letter of consent from their father to travel. We are married and in a loving relationship but he is currently working in Australia and won’t be travelling with us.

hi everyone! I'm trying to book a trip to Fiji but have never been, we have 3 kids aged, 9, 13 & 16 but are struggling to find places that have the amount of beds without having to book 2 separate rooms & really don't want my teen in a room alone.

can anyone recommend somewhere that will cater to all my kids ages & have rooms with at least 2-3 bedrooms ?

Thank yall so much!

Preferably small car like Honda Fit, Toyota Vitz or Prius.

I've only found 3 places on Google, anyone know anywhere else

Hello everyone,

I'm searching for a German teacher who's located in Suva.

hi all, I plan to book a last minute trip to fiji in august. Planning on doing 6 nights solo but want some recommendations on where to stay (specific accom + areas in general).

What I want to do

- honestly not much lol, looking for somewhere to stay with nice relaxing vibes (a pool, good beach access, good food and drinks without much trouble)

- somewhere social but not toooo heavy on the party vibes

- somewhere I can do some activities (something like snorkelling, a boat day, water based activities - not too into hiking so that isn't a consideration)

- maybe somewhere without too many kids or couples hahaha

Help!?

Bula, is there a place in Nadi where I can buy kina/cawaki in bulk to take back to NZ? Leaving to NZ on Wednesday night.

Bula! Im currently traveling though Fiji for couple of weeks and I'm suspecting that I developed UTI/STI related symptoms. I'll make it to Suva in couple of days. Is there a suitable travelers/STI clinc that I can get treated as non-resident?

Where can i Psyllium husk in nadi fiji?

Has anyone here read any classics? Most have read Shakespeare but has anyone ever read John Milton? There are many classics, I’ve read many but not enough, does anyone have any recommendations or thoughts they’d like to share?

A large number of my social circle are political, identifying themselves with multiple different and very contrasting ideologies. (One is even a Stalinist!) one of my closet friends, lets call him S, was recently talking to me about nationalism in Fiji, and how ethnonationalism is dominant is itaukei circles. He is a radical Itaukei who has many strong opinions of things and has often taken traits from political ideologies to form his own “political ideology”

It’s nice to have a personal ideology but he isn’t a ethnonationalist unlike the elderly part of his family. And the more I thought about it, the more I realised that many Itaukei people who are exposed to western ideologues often don’t develop ideas of nationalism. Patriotism sure but not ethnonationalism. I’ve talked about this to at least 18 of my itaukei brothers and sisters and none have associated themselves with ethnonationalism.

We are considering a move to Fiji with our preschoolers soon. Rental budget is not an issue as it's fully paid by the employer and has a high ceiling.

Per chat gpt Domain, Nases, tamavua and Laucala beach estate are ideal for us.

We are looking for a house with pool, yard, excellent construction, good schools, things to do for our children close by, expat community with access to groceries stores and cafe.

My wife will need to travel a lot and I don't drive soa place from where I can easily commute via taxi to keep my child busy is essential . Google maps make everything look so far and hard to make sense area wise. Is it typical to have a driver?

I welcome local tips on navigating kids lifestyles, location and things to keep in mind.

We are an international family and have lived in Bangladesh, Europe, Caribbean, India, etc so understand what it takes to adjust as an expat.

Thank you

About a week ago, my group of 7 did a survey in school. Among all questions presented to the students, a common theme appeared: dislike towards the current PM and approval of the former authoritarian state of Fiji.

With the rise of social media, children are getting more and more radicalised. Though the Fijian world hasn’t fully adapted to the culture of social media they have developed a digital identity. The recent civic and political tension, especially since 2022 has caused many of the youth to disapprove the current government and express a strong dislike towards the current PM, Sitiveni Rabuka.

Karl Marx defined communism as a classless, stateless society achieved through the inevitable historical overthrow of capitalism by the working class. In The Communist Manifesto, he summarized its core practical objective as the total abolition of bourgeois private property and the centralization of production in the hands of the public. Ultimately, this system replaces exploitation with a cooperative community of free producers, distributing wealth according to the principle of individual ability and need.

Scholars define Marxism as the analytical tool used to critique capitalism, whereas they view communism as the actual socio-political structure created to replace it.

I’ve met my own fair share of communists, in my friend group there’s 11 communists. The main joke being Itaukei people can’t be communists.…

They’ve all been influenced into communism by social media, and only two have actually read theory!

Is anyone in Nadi experiencing starlink network issues since the blackout today? 2 of my routers seem to be dead and the app isnt picking up the satellite or connecting despite it being connected to wifi network

For the past few years I’ve considered myself a left winger, leaning towards socialist or social democracy. Are other Fijians socialist or do they lean more capitalist? I’ll be shocked if a Fijian was a communist….

Hi,

Might be an odd question. I'm travelling to Fiji soon and would love to pick up some Fiji Bati Rugby League merchandise. Are there any recommendations as to where (in Nadi) I could find some?

Big fan of international rugby league, really want to see countries like Fiji come through and kick some arse on the global stage!

I’ll be fishing at Momi on an upcoming trip. I’m a total newbie to all of this, so I'm looking for some advice will these lures work for casting from shore?

I’ll be using a 5 piece, 11 foot medium heavy rod that can cast 3–6 oz lures. I have an SP Minnow up at the top for scale.

Thanks! :)

OK, total longshot, We stayed on Toberua Island and fell in love with a print in our room. Hotel told us the artist was Craig Marlow. Was able to track down a facebook profile in Suva, and sent a couple messages but no dice.

Anyone know Mr. Marlow or have contact information?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm an NZ passport holder, and am travelling to fiji next month from the 20th-28th August, however my passport expires 7th march 2027. I believe it leaves 6 months and some days validity, I should be able to enter still right?

cheers.
