Havn't been to fiji yet, going later this year, but it sounds similar... friendly locals, great relaxed island atmosphere, beautiful beaches, good snorkelling & diving. Not sure bout fiji but vanuatu also offers some beautiful more inland attractions like a valcano & awesome waterfalls. Hoping fiji wont disappoint after such a wonderful holiday last year in vanuatu.

Loved it, the people at the resort were so nice and it was so relaxing! We headed to Octopus Resort on our last night for a little nicer accomidation. We spent as much money on one night as we did for 3 on Waya Lai Lai!! We stayed there in May of 2006!! Loved it, the people at the resort were so nice and it was so relaxing!

I also stayed on Waya Lai Lai in 2008. Fantastic little village to stay at, it was great to just chillout with the locals, chatting away eating coconut or just lounging around. Highly recommended!Dan Hey Matt,

And your right, Matt, it's super easy to include it in an RTW trip. Air Pacific will typically give a free stopover in Fiji on continuing flights, which if perfect for people traveling between Los Angeles or Honolulu and Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane in Australia. Opportunity!They've also added a nonstop flight to Hong Kong, so if you're in Asia and going to Melbourne you can still work in a rest day (or week) in Fiji.

There is nothing quite like "Fiji Time". Fiji Time is the slowest pace of life I have ever witnessed anywhere. Nothing gets done in a timely manner, but who cares, you're in Fiji! The most relaxing place I've ever been by far. Have fun, Matt Ah, I have great memories of Fiji when I visited in 2002. There is nothing quite like “Fiji Time”.
