Heroes of the Fiji Rugby Sevens team share their top local tips for visiting their homeland.
1. South Sea Island
Vilimoni Botitu says "South Sea Island is relaxing, peaceful and fun", which is why it's his favourite place in Fiji to visit. The island is an easy 30-minute ferry ride from Port Denarau and offers plenty to keep you occupied, including snorkelling, diving, kayaking, sailing and, of course, lazing on the beach. The island is popular with day-trippers, though it does boast limited accommodation for those who want to stay a little longer.
2. Sigatoka River Safari
Located on the Coral Coast, the Sigatoka River Safari is Apenisa Cakaubalavu's top pick when he has the chance to take some time out. This half-day experience will see you travel up the Sigatoka River on a jet boat, before visiting an authentic village for lunch and the chance to experience life like a local.
