Fiji holidays

Best time to visit Fiji

The tropical climate in Fiji promises warm weather and sunshine at any time of year, but the most comfortable period is during the dry season from May to October when it’s slightly cooler and less humid. Fiji’s wet season, November to April, is hotter with frequent heavy rainfall – although this usually just falls in short sharp bursts in the afternoons.

The average temperature in Fiji is around 25ºC, but it can climb to above 30ºC during the wet of summer and drop to below 20ºC in winter, the dry season.

The islands are typically at their busiest during the peak months from June to September, although the months of December and January can still be busy due to the popularity of the islands with holidaymakers from Australia and New Zealand.

Small ship cruising in Fiji

As an alterative to a resort stay, consider exploring Fiji’s sheltered bays and picturesque tropical islands on a cruise. Spend four or seven days aboard the 130-passenger Reef Endeavour cruising through beautiful islands and colourful coral reef, uncovering the region’s unique history, art and culture.

Combine ashore delving into Fijian culture and history, with plenty of time cruising the azure waters as well as time to snorkel and enjoy glass bottom boat cruises and scuba diving.
