Fiji | Write a review | September 30, 2011Yes if you are in the land of sailing, cruising, adventure and islands you are in Fiji in the land of absolute happiness and the best vacation area ever. Ideal for a honeymoon trip, best for backpackers and the most preferred family trip.
The Republic of Fiji Island is a great zone near the South Pacific Ocean which lies in eastern Vanuatu. The lovely land of Fiji has a collection of around 322 islands. Out of these there are 106 which are inhabited and the major islands here which are very popular are Viti Levu and the Vanua Levu.

The main island Viti Levu is the most beautiful and in fact Fiji got its name from this lovely place. The people in the land of Fiji were very aggressive and brave warriors and cannibals too. They built the finest Pacific ships but weren’t good at sailing. The Tongans were overawed by the Europeans and the place was called Viti. But the Tongans called it Fisi and thus the foreigners named it Fiji. It was James Cook who first started using this name.

The land of Fiji is covered with islands and islets. The most important as said were the Viti Levu and the Vanua Levu. These islands were very rugged and the peaks were high and they were covered with thick forests. Suva is located in the island of Viti Levu and it is the capital city. The other towns are the Nadi and the Lautoka. The towns in the Vanua Levu are the Labas and the other town of Savusavu. The places where tourists love to go is the Tavenu and the Kadavu which is famous for its lovely surroundings. Fiji’s next neighbor is the Tonga region. The warm climate of this lovely land of Fiji makes it an ideal tourist spot.

A kaleidoscope of Indian, Chinese, and many traditions from Europe,the culture is predominantly a mix of all. The costumes, beliefs and the arts and crafts along with the music and dance are very similar to these regions. The culture is very energetic and active and has the people with various colors and vibrancy in every part of life. There is a lot of European influence and the nearby areas of Tongan also has great influence. Rotuman is another place very near Fiji which has influenced the people here. In short, the culture of Fiji is something which is very mixed, national and is popular all over.

The hospitality of the Fiji people ensures you are in the right mood to get into the adventurous spree.
