For getting around, you can either take a bus, rent a car, take a boat or seaplane or use a combination of them. Renting a car is the most flexible option but also the most expensive. Public transportation is cheaper but less flexible. Also, please make sure to check the visa requirements and any other necessary travel documents. Fiji is well-known for its beautiful beaches, coral reefs, and marine life, so make sure to spend most of your time snorkeling, swimming, and diving.
