Rob Kay's Fiji Island Travel Guide - Fiji information, Fiji Islands, tourism, travel, surfing, diving, scuba, online guide

Welcome to the most trusted source of Fiji Islands travel information on the Net.

Since 1996, Fijiguide.com has provided readers with all they need to plan and book a vacation. This includes practical advice on accommodations, scuba diving, dining, surfing, treking and even kava drinking. In short, I will steer you to the very best Fiji has to offer.

The newest feature on the site are videos with topics ranging from scuba diving to politics. Check them out at on the Recreation, Diving, Surfing, Fiji Islands Guide, and Facts about Fiji pages. More videos are on the way and we also provide links to topics of interest such as climate change.

Then there's Fiji politics which has been in the news quite a bit lately. What is one to think? This Op Ed, Stuck in a cycle of political vengeance, which which appeared in the Fiji Times does a good job of explaining the current political situation from an insiders point of view. Likewise, One Year Into Fiji’sFourth Coup by East West Center scholar Gerard Finin offers a great overview of the political situation from an outside perspective.

To further prepare you for your visit be sure and download my new eBook. It's free and is packed with travel tips on hotels, attractions and much more.

Now a little about me: I'm the original author of the Lonely Planet Travel Survival Kit to Fiji and the recipient of the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism award. I have covered the Fiji Islands as a journalist for the past 27 years. I visit Fiji regularly to stay abreast of developments. Fiji is my adopted home. I know it, love it, and want my fellow travelers to experience the best it has to offer.

In addition to providing you with info on accommodations and tourist attractions there's a plethora of rich content on this website. For example we've got galleries of Old Time Fiji Photos and Natural History. We've also got a kava page with links to the latest research on this beverage from the University of Hawaii.

Special thanks to Paddy Ryan.who has provided a great deal of the new photography on the site (including the national history gallery) and the shot of the kava ceremony on the right. The Vintage Fiji Tourism poster (above right) and postcard (below) are from the collection of Dame Jane Resture.
