Fiji Vacation
Some tropical islands sound too good to be true and Fiji, which is actually made up of over 300 islands, falls into that category. Situated in the South Pacific Ocean, the islands offer a haven, away from the bustling world outside. A Fiji vacation can be used to relax on the beach, go sightseeing or to indulge in adventure sports. The tropical weather brings sunshine for most of the time with some showers which are quickly over. Fiji has one of the lowest crime rates in the world and has eliminated major tropical diseases including malaria. English, Bau Fijian, Hindi and Urdu are the languages spoken. The two main islands are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.
