Fiji Travel.
Fiji is one of my all-time favorite destinations for solo travel — and it’s where I truly fell in love with island hopping. From snorkeling with tropical fish to exploring remote beaches by boat, Fiji is equal parts adventure and relaxation. The locals are incredibly friendly, the landscapes are stunning, and the pace of life is refreshingly slow. Whether you’re planning your first trip or looking for tips on resorts, packing, or solo travel, I’ve got you covered with firsthand advice from my time exploring the Yasawa Islands and beyond.

Fiji Travel FAQs
Is Fiji good for solo female travelers?
Yes! Fiji is one of the most welcoming places I’ve visited solo. The culture is warm and respectful, and many resorts offer dorms, meaning you won’t be the only solo traveller.
What’s the best way to island hop in Fiji?
The Yasawa Flyer ferry is the easiest and most popular option for backpackers and budget-to-midrange travelers. You can pre-book stops and choose from a wide range of island resorts.
What’s the best resort for solo travellers?
I loved the Blue Lagoon Beach Resort! They offered to sit solo travelers together over dinner, which made it really easy to meet other travellers!
How long should I spend in Fiji?
At least a week if you want to explore beyond the mainland. Two weeks is ideal if you’re planning to visit multiple islands in the Yasawas or Mamanucas. Also, if you’re coming from the east coast of the USA like me, at least ten days to make the journey worth it!
What should I pack for Fiji?
Fiji is hot, humid, and casual — pack lightweight clothes, reef-safe sunscreen, a rash guard, bug spray, and a dry bag. My full Fiji packing list covers it all.
Is it worth doing a shark dive in Fiji?
Yes — if you’re up for it. The bull shark dive I did at Barefoot Kuata was one of the most thrilling and memorable experiences. I shared my full experience here.
