As a South Pacific tropical beach destination, Fiji Islands is well-known. Honeymooners, wedding couples, families, luxury and budget travellers have been travelling to Fiji in search of sun and sand for many years.

More recently, Fiji has been increasingly developing its adventure destination niche, as the islands provide much in the way of active and exciting tropical holidays. From sailing charters, to mountain biking, kiteboarding to jet-boat rides, river rafting to ocean kayaking, Fiji has something for everyone.

Fishing is increasingly popular, and the keen fisherman - professional or hobbyist - can find operators offering sport fishing, game fishing, handline fishing, and trolling. From the Denarau Marina on Denarau Island in Nadi, operators include C-Dreamer Cruising & Charters and Adrenalin Watersports, for example.

For fly-fishing enthusiasts, Fly Fish Fiji operates out of Tavewa in the beautiful Yasawa island group offshore from Nadi and Lautoka.
