More than 300 islands, white sand, crystal blue water, world class snorkelling and sweeping green highlands are a world away from the rat race but just a four-hour flight from Sydney. Fiji<\/a> is a great spot for a few days \u2013 whether you’re after R&R or adventure. Here’s our top 5 activities\u00a0in Fiji.<\/p>\n

Snorkelling Cruise<\/h2>\n

There aren\u2019t many better places in the world to get under the water. Hop on a\u00a0Whale\u2019s Tale snorkel cruise<\/a>\u00a0and sail to some of the best snorkelling spots. This 100-foot schooner sails to Honeymoon Island, where you can explore crystalline lagoons before filling up on a gourmet lunch buffet onboard. If a snorkel mask doesn\u2019t take you deep enough, you can always scuba dive<\/a> off the Yasawa Islands.<\/p>\n

Nausori Highlands<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s easy to get so wrapped up in Fiji\u2019s coastal wonders \u2013 the sand, coral, water, and resorts \u2013 that you forget about the rolling green expanses of its interior. The sprawling terrain of the Nausori Highlands<\/a>, reached by 4-wheel drive, is breathtaking in its colour and scope. A day trip takes you past rushing waterfalls, sugarcane fields and lush green valleys on your way to a\u00a0spectacular view.<\/p>\n

Cloud 9<\/h2>\n

Cloud 9<\/a> floats \u2013\u00a0in the ocean \u2013 and it serves pizza. Okay. Now that we\u2019ve established that it\u2019s the best place in the world, you should also know it has two levels, sunbathing decks and a fully stocked bar. These are the facts, ladies and gentleman. Spending a day out on Cloud 9 is a great way to unwind.<\/p>\n

Robinson Crusoe Island Day Trip<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t let the name fool you: Robinson Crusoe Island is steeped in uniquely Fijian history. This small island just southwest of Viti Levu was long a sacred location of chiefly gatherings. A day trip to this eco-enclave<\/a> is the ideal way to witness the inextricable relationship between the island\u2019s nature and culture. Take a dip, indulge in a local \u201clovo\u201d feast, and see live performances, including a coconut tree climbing demo.<\/p>\n

Mamanuca Islands<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re staying on Viti Levu, the Mamanuca Islands are just an hour\u2019s cruise away. The tiny strips of sheeny sand boil paradise down to its essential elements. It\u2019s your favourite beach\u2019s favourite beach. Take an air-conditioned catamaran<\/a> along South Sea, Castaway, and Bounty if lounging is your aim, or swim, snorkel, and kayak<\/a> through the clear\u00a0water if you\u2019re up for a firsthand foray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
