Fiji

• Taxi overcharging in Nadi.
• Overpriced island tours — compare before booking.

• Good hospitals in Suva and Nadi. Remote islands have limited facilities.
• Dengue present — use repellent.
• Coral cuts — bring reef shoes.

• Hepatitis A recommended.
• Routine vaccines up to date.

• Say 'Bula!' to everyone — it's the warmest greeting in the Pacific.
• Visit a traditional village and participate in a kava ceremony.
• Try kokoda (Fijian ceviche), lovo feast (earth oven), and fresh tropical fruit.

• Don't wear hats or sunglasses in a village — it's disrespectful to the chief.
• Don't touch someone's head.
• Don't refuse kava if offered — it's an important ritual.

Not expected. Small tips appreciated at resorts. Village visits: bring a gift of kava root (sevusevu) for the chief.

Casual. Cover shoulders and knees when visiting villages. Sulu (sarong) is traditional and practical.

Christian majority. Sunday is observed — many businesses close. Village church services welcome visitors. Indo-Fijian Hindu and Muslim communities also present.
