Fiji Travel Forum

I am going to Fiji Nov 23-Dec 9th with my boyfriend and I am trying to decide whether or not we should spend 5 days on Viti Levu doing the FeeJee Experience bus tour or if we should just skip it and head to the Yasawas for the entire time. We are interested in seeing the real culture of Fiji and obviouslyl having some great experiences but we are a little concerned that the Feejee Experience will be a bus load of backpackers who want to party all night - which we don't mind doing a little of ut we are trying to enjoy a romantic trip away. We are also concerned that while we will get to do the cool activities listed( sandboarding Sigatoka dunes, mud baths and hot springs, bilibili rafting and tubing down the Navua river) the experience will be dampened by the fact that it will feel touristy with all of these people from the bus trying to do the same thing at the same time. Any comments on the Feejee Experience trip? Is it worth giving it a shot and then heading to the Yasawas or should we just skip it and spend more time in the Yasawas and have the chance to see another Island or two instead? Any comments would be appreciated.

Also any recommendations on quieter islands to stay in the Yasawas to be able to get away from it all would be appreciated.

Looks like you've got plenty of time to do both! I'd do the mainland first, and then head out to the yasawa's to get some romance and relaxation. "Touristy' can be fun in small doses don't you think? And you can always head out on your own later to get your dose of 'culture'. Make sure you post your Yasawa pics when you get back! I never got there, but would love to! Have a wonderful trip!
