Fiji
Fiji's 333 islands offer world-class diving, white-sand beaches, and warm Fijian hospitality at a fraction of the cost of similar Pacific destinations. Budget travelers can tap into local markets, village guesthouses, and free snorkeling spots to stretch every dollar.

Good to know in Fiji
- Transit: Public buses (Feejee Experience or Pacific Transport) are the cheapest way between Nadi, Sigatoka, and Suva, a Nadi-Suva bus costs around $4-6 USD each way.
- Tipping: Tipping is not traditional in Fijian culture and is not expected; a heartfelt 'Vinaka' (thank you) goes a long way.
- Tap water: Tap water is generally safe to drink in Suva and Nadi; on outer islands, stick to bottled or filtered water to be safe.
- Free-entry days: Thurston Gardens in Suva is always free; the Fiji Museum in Suva occasionally waives entry for locals and has a very low tourist fee of around $5.
