2024 Suva Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Trip to Fiji 🇫🇯

It was a trip to Fiji, just to share some of my favorite places to visit and restaurants. I would definitely recommend you to visit Mamanuca Islands 🏝️ The Mamanuca Islands are a beautiful archipelago known for their stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs. If you are a snorkeling 🤿 lover, this is a perfect place for snorkeling, diving, and water sports. 📍Mamanuca Islands, Fiji (accessible via boat or seaplane from Port Denarau). If you were to visit there, I would highly recommend you to try Cloud 9 Fiji. They served mainly Wood-fired pizza and seafood platter. All the food were good! Do also try out their tropical cocktails 🍹 💰FJD 50-150 per person 📍Cloud 9, Ro Ro Reef, Mamanuca Islands, Fiji I would also suggest you to visit Suva (Capital City)🏙️. Suva is the cultural and political heart of Fiji. You can also explore the Fiji Museum to learn about the country’s rich history, or explore the Thurston Gardens. You may also visit vibrant markets, colonial architecture, and try out local eateries ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍Suva, Viti Levu, Fiji Besides, I would also suggest you to explore Nadi. It is a bustling town and a gateway to Fiji’s islands. You can check out the Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple, a vibrant Hindu temple, and also explore the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, which showcases a vast collection of orchids and tropical plants🪴 📍Nadi, Viti Levu, Fiji If you were to visited, you can also check out a restaurant, Tu’s Place. The environment was very good and they serve fijian curry, grilled fish, lovo (Fijian-style barbecue). All the food was delicious 😍😍😍 💰FJD 30-70 per person 📍 Queens Road, Martintar, Nadi, Fiji Last but not least, I would also recommend you to visit Coral Coast. It is famous for its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and cultural experiences. We visited the Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park and took a river safari along the Sigatoka River to see Fijian villages. Very worth to visit 💯💯💯 📍Coral Coast, Viti Levu, Fiji #beachcheck #vacation #myitinerary

CHILL AFTERNOON AT HOLIDAY INN

Holiday Inn hotel is just right outside on the edge of town- close enough to be near all the various shops and malls but also far enough to be away from all the town noise and traffic etc!! it’s the perfect location if you want peace and convenience in Suva. We ordered a 12-inch four cheese pizza and it was amazing!! the prices are not too bad, and with all the cheeses and fillings on the pizza, youre full within only a few bites🤩 We also got some chai latte; it tasted SO GOOD that we just had to ask for a second round- it’s literally so yum. #pizza #food #afternoon #pool #hotel #fiji

GRAND SUNDAY AT GRAND PAC HOTEL

Grand Pacific hotel has an amazing range of cakes and cheesecakes for only $10 a piece!!

You can also order a drink or anything off the menu that you can scan from the qr code to view. GPH is a cozy place to enjoy good company and good bites #dessert #icecoffee #views

FISHING IN SUVA CITY

A bunch of us went fishing along the seawall in Suva, and the cool thing is it’s right in the middle of town but in a nice secluded area where it’s private enough to sit and fish peacefully but also is in a path where just enough people walk by, making it feel safe. It was my first time ever going fishing and I managed to catch my first fish which was so exciting!!! Although it was the only fish I caught in about a whole hour of sitting there, the actual act of fishing was so relaxing and peaceful- good for my mental. I highly recommend fishing at this spot behind Thurston garden because it’s safe, it’s comfortable, has good breeze, and you get to meet a lot of great people who pass by as you fish. This location is also really convenient because it’s close to the shops and to the main road. And as you can see, all you’ll need is a hook, line, bait and any old bottle to get your fishing game on🤩 #fishing #passingtime #relaxing

Memorable Colo I suva

Location of this place is so awesome! Just like 15 minutes away from Suva itself. Really easy and relatively cheap to reach it with taxi or local cars. Roads are in good condition, but do NOT think you can walk through the paths without getting your shoes muddy and wet. Rains are very often in here. There is a lot of a small waterfalls and beatiful creeks to take pictures and selfies. Mostly bigger waterfalls are crowded with locals and also mostly teenagers. swimming also totally nice and relaxing. please take care of your belongingwhile swim. It might disappear sometimes 😄. Our local friend also told us to hire a guide for walkthrough, so that those teens could't rob us on our way. I am not sure but most of the local were nice and kind. You'll catch a good selfie and picture specially at the beach and falls. I miss COLO I SUVA . #suva #fiji #coloisuva

In almost every corner of the South Pacific Resort, the original island style is revealed. Walking into the resort away from the world, several employees wearing traditional costumes slammed the snails above the lagoon and gently hit the wooden drums. Afterwards, several companions held flower garlands and walked through the wooden promenades to meet the tourists from afar, offering refreshing tea. This solemn and quaint welcome ceremony brings the time to the ancient times of Polynesia.

Headed to Fiji, be back never

#celebratewithtrip Fiji is a country located in South Pacific and is part of Melanesia. Suva is the capital, although most who travel to Fiji find themselves routing through Nadi There’s more to Suva than checking out the architecture and indulging in the city’s restaurants, although they are pretty good too. The capital has some charming gardens and a museum which is a must go . In the museum you will learn the history of Fiji If you are into shopping Suva also have couple of shopping malls around although it not as big as mall in Asia but it good enough to do some shopping . Again, when compared to the rest of Fiji, Suva seems less exciting as a destination but seen you are already in Fiji I will suggest a bit of detour to take a look at Suva #tripblazers #fallingforfall #beachlife #island Travel

Enjoy the perfect taste, and then listen to the folks with flowers on the head to play a happy folk song, Nanuku's life is so comfortable, a perfect interpretation of what is called "happiness." Nanuku not only has the original ecological environment, but also is an excellent choice to experience the local culture. In the slightly gloomy morning, accompanied by the cool sea breeze, walk through the hotel inside and outside. In the private and comfortable resort, the staff will always have a big smile. Step out of the hotel and walk shortly into the local villages and talk to the villagers as they please. Even though these pristine people live a different lifestyle from the resort. What is constant is the sincere Fijian smile. Back to Nanuku, the warm and cordial greetings echoed again in the ear, and the short-lived distinction seemed to return to the familiar home again. Soak in the bar, order a drink, chat with people, and life becomes fun again. The night fell again, and the lights in the restaurant looked a little dark. The twinkling candlelight creates an incomparable romantic atmosphere. And the beloved is whispering here, and the air is filled with happiness.

The green rice fields surround the quiet village, and the residents ride on the horses and walk along the road. Here, the original pure Fijian life is still maintained. Daily time, from the hot sun at noon, until the sunset is gradually softened, there are no tourists on the road, and even local vehicles rarely pass. Occasionally passing a car full of students, the children enthusiastically shouted out the window, the shepherd boy riding a horse, going to the distant forest to pick up firewood, always ask for the road, always give enthusiasm Patience explanations, and through many charming small villages, people seem to be leisurely. I like this way of traveling as I like, without planning restrictions, the journey is always full of too many unknowns, but there are countless unexpected and wonderful, so slowly, feel the island Feel the customs and feel their happy life. A simple country school, a teenager who is schooling, is playing rugby in the playground in front of the school building. Regardless of living conditions, Fijians madness and obsession with football are incredible. Because there is very little contact with outsiders, the teenagers here are somewhat subtle. However, after a simple conversation, they will become warm and cheerful. When I said goodbye, I kept waving my hands and shouting "BYE BYE".

The mountain road spirals along the hills, and the blue sea in the distance is interwoven with the vast farmland. When you walk to Nosori, the scenery becomes different. The dense original jungle is distributed on both sides of the road, and the intertwined river passes through it. It is overlooked by the air, as if there are countless hovering dragons, extending the heart of Viti Levu. The number of calm rivers is neatly arranged, and the gorgeous sunset glows the sky and the river as red and intoxicating.

Destination Fiji - Suva. Because the earth is round, geographically described, Fiji is the westernmost and most eastern country in the world. Located in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean, it is between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer. It is a must for Australia and New Zealand to travel to North America. It is a beautiful island country in the South Pacific. It consists of 332 islands. The islands are mostly surrounded by coral reefs. The sea is colorful and pleasing to the eye. Fiji welcomed us in a rainstorm, and the warm Fijian people welcomed us with a warm dance. I just wanted to take pictures with the indigenous guys dressed in national costumes, but an elder with a child also wants to join us for a group photo with a happy expression on their faces, as if they are the happiest Tourists. The capital Suva has one of the top ten honeymoon resorts in the world. It is surrounded by the city, surrounded by bright colors and national flowers and hibiscus all over the city. The flowers are blooming. Here, men wearing skirts and garlands are common dresses. Sometimes the rainy and cloudy weather did not disturb our mood. We walked all the way to the Capitol, often harvesting local people from the roadside and bus, and using the new school "Buli" to follow them. Say hello, drink a bottle of Fiji water that Obama loves, pick up a hibiscus flower that falls from the tree, and there is no rush of the Beijing capital. I just need to enjoy the leisurely slow pace.

In the days of exile in the island of Vomo, although I was happy, but I didnt have much contact with the locals, I always lacked some flavor. Now, returning to the Big Island of Fiji is the best chance to play with the children. For the journey, add some warm smiles from the 30 degrees south latitude. On the beach, don't deliberately talk, keep a smile, there will be a large group of local children to take the initiative to come up, vie for your coolest look in front of your camera, don't be restrained, go crazy with them, every A child's smile is as clear as the waters of Fiji. As long as you raise the camera, there will be a child rushing to the front, automatically arranging the group pose, waiting for you to press the shutter. The children are very good at English. They communicated happily along the way. They also asked us whether China or Fiji is big. In fact, I really want to tell them that the entire Oceania will add up to the qualifications of China. In front of us, the children are full of expressive desires, using various methods to show up in various ways, we become the focus of the beach, tired of coping with each child's various shooting requirements, this feeling, It is the most precious experience in a long-lost trip. The sea in Fiji is beautiful, but what is more beautiful is this innocent smile that is warmer than the sun.
