Top 10 BEST Things To Do in FIJI Islands | Travel Guide To FIJI Islands
If you're looking for the best things to do in Fiji, look no further. I've compiled a list of the top 10 activities that will make your trip unforgettable.
Fiji is truly an island paradise full of jaw-dropping landscapes, crystal clear waters and an array of activities to take part in. From the lush green Colo-i-Suva Forest Park and Bouma National Heritage Park to a host of amazing coral reefs, there is something for everyone. On top of this, visitors can also explore Navua River, discover the Sigatoka Sand Dunes or go pilgrimage at the Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami Temple. The islands have so much to offer from discovering traditional Fijian villages like Navala to relax beaches on Mamanuca Island or chasing after refreshing waterfalls like Tavoro Waterfall. So now I have to ask you all: With so much to do and only a small island nation for exploration, which of these activities would you like to do in Fiji? Let me know in the comments below - I'm looking forward hearing what you'll chose!

????My Camera Gear (keep it simple for your vacation!):
GoPro HERO11 Black - Waterproof (Underwater camera) ????
Don't lose your GoPro, invest in a floaty
Floaty stick ????
Floaty cover????
Vlogging camera ????
Use your smartphone for video but keep it smooth with a gimbal ????
SanDisk 1TB Extreme ????
------------------
✨Tips and Recommendations✨
✅Best Time to Visit: May to October are the best months to visit, as this is the dry season with lower rainfall, milder temperatures, and less humidity.
✅Pack Right: Pack light, breathable clothing, as Fiji has a tropical climate. Sunscreen, insect repellent, hats, and beachwear are essential.
✅Respect Local Culture: Fijians are traditionally conservative, so it's best to dress modestly, particularly when visiting villages. It's also customary to remove hats and sunglasses in a village as a sign of respect.
✅Currency: The local currency is Fijian dollars. ATMs are available in cities and tourist areas. Most businesses also accept credit cards.
✅Offending Locals: Respect local customs and traditions. Do not enter houses or other premises without an invitation, and always ask for permission before taking photos of locals.
✅Unsafe Areas: While Fiji is generally safe, every location has less safe areas. Always be aware of your surroundings, especially at night.
✅Learn Basic Fijian Phrases: A simple Bula (hello) or Vinaka (thank you) goes a long way in connecting with locals.

Fiji Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Fiji – One of the world’s most unspoiled beach destinations, with the friendliest people; it won’t disappoint paradise seekers!
When ready, browse vacation packages to Fiji:
Any #Fiji #tour will highlight its magnificent, unspoiled waters and lush landscapes. While on #vacation here, go snorkeling, swimming, diving, and sailing on turquoise waters. If you’d rather stay on dry land, you can zipline through rainforests or explore the windy plains of the highland area. Travel to the interior and learn about traditional Fijian culture, or visit the capital city of Suva and wander through its colonial buildings, bazaars, and the quiet harbor.
Two-thirds of the Fijian archipelago are uninhabited, and your Fiji #sightseeing should include a stop at Denarau’s marina, where you can book a boat to take you to some of these pristine locations. From family-friendly islands to romantic getaways, you’ll find something to your taste amongst these scattered isles.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

PORTO, PORTUGAL | 10 Incredible Things To Do In & Around Porto
Porto is located in northwest Portugal along the Douro River and a must-visit travel destination. From its stunning old town to its authentic cuisine and romantic viewpoints, Porto has so much to offer. These are the best things to do in and around Porto:
10. Visit at least one of the many churches
The most beautiful ones include: Igreja dos Clérigos, São Francisco Church, Igreja do Carmo, and the Porto Cathedral (Sé do Porto)
9. Admire the architecture at the Livraria Lello
The building dates back to 1906 and is often nicknamed the “most beautiful bookshop in the world” due to its blend of different architectural designs.
☑️ Book your skip the line ticket in advance:
8. Try the local food
Worth trying: tripas, bacalhau à brás, sardinhas, and francesinha
7. Walk the riverfront (Cais da Ribeira)
This is one of the liveliest parts of Porto, and a great place to walk, dine, and sightsee.
6. Go on a cruise of the 6 bridges
From the water, you can admire the beautiful landscapes and red-roofed buildings of Porto as well as Vila Nova de Gaia. All while learning about the historic bridges that connect both cities. Boat tours leave from the riverfront in Porto (Ribeira Quay) and last about 50 minutes.
☑️ Book your 6 bridges cruise:
5. Take in a view of the city
Best viewpoints: Miradouro da Vitória, the street next to the Porto cathedral, Passeio das Virtudes, Miradouro da Ribeira (for sunset), and from the waterfront of Vila Nova de Gaia.
4. Day trip to Peneda-Gerês National Park
Located near the Spanish border, the Peneda-Gerês national park is a 2 hour drive from Porto. It’s the oldest protected area and the only national park in Portugal, covering about 695 square kilometers.
☑️ Book a 4x4 day tour:
3. Day trip to the Douro wine valley
The Douro wine valley is where the famous port wine is produced and it’s known as the first demarcated wine region in the world. But besides its wines, this valley is also worth visiting for its incredible landscapes, nature, and history. We spent two days in Peso da Régua and enjoyed wine tasting, hiking, and learning all about the region.
☑️ Day cruise to the Douro wine valley:
2. Visit the wine cellars at Vila Nova de Gaia
While less idyllic, Vila Nova de Gaia is also known for its port wine. In fact, all the port wine produced in the upper Douro Valley would historically be transported here in barrels on traditional boats (rabelo boats). This is why the riverbanks of Porto today are filled with wine cellars and tasting rooms. Most wine cellars offer wine tastings and guided tours.
1. Free walking tour of the city
During a 2.5 hours guided tour, you’ll see the main highlights of the city, like São Bento train station, Café Majestic, Aliados avenue, and much more. But you’ll also get some recommendations to eat, go out, and have fun. This tour leaves a few times per day from the Liberty Square.

San Francisco Travel Tips: 11 Things to Know Before You Go
Things YOU need to know before YOU go to San Francisco in California. San Francisco is the 4th most populated city in California and has a population of 800,000 people. San Francisco is known for year round fog, the golden gate bridge, cable cars, Victorian Houses, sweeping bay views, and of course Alcatraz. One of America's most unique & distinctive cities.
2 - Weather
I refer to San Francisco as the foggy city.
Mark Twain’s famous quote: “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”
The weather varies by hour, and by neighborhood. It could be 70 degrees and Sunny in one spot, and 50 degrees with pea-soup fog in the other.
September and October are the warmest and sunniest months.
Wear layers you can easily remove.
3 - Food:
Clam Chowder & Sourdough Bread
Seafood at Fisherman’s Wharf
Little Italy
Chinatown
Koi Palace by San Francisco Airport
Ferry Building for lot’s of local food.
Cowgirl creamery has good cheese.
Ghirardelli for chocolate and ice cream
4 - Hotels:
SF can be quite expensive
Weekends are often cheaper
I like Union Square. Most central, you can take the BART here. Cable car, street cars.
2nd choice: Embarcadero
I dont like fishermans wharf.. too touristy.
Definitely stay within the city.. dont be crossing the bay.
5 - Getting In:
3 Major Airports: SFO, OAK, SJC
SFO is 15 miles South of the city.
A strip of TARMAC surrounded by water.
The main airport, the major airlines all fly here.
Prone to weather delays (FOG)
Taxi or uber will cost about $60 and take between 25-60mins.
BART: $10 to Union Square and 35 mins. BART makes 4 stops in Downtown SF.
Oakland is 25 miles from SF, across the bay. Less foggy, so less delays. Good if you are visiting Napa. Lots of Southwest flights.
San Jose
60 miles south of SF. Good if you are visiting Santa Cruz, Monterey, or Carmel. You can do a one way rental car and return to SFO.
6 - Getting Around:
Cable Car: San Francisco classic from 1873. It’s amazing they still run these.
Best place to ride… on the outside! Want to stop… just yell out you want to stop!
7 - POPOS:
What’s a Popo? Privately owned public open spaces.
They come in the form of urban gardens, plazas, but the best ones are on rooftops.
Neither obvious nor clearly marked, POPOS are all over downtown San Francisco—and everyone is welcome
8 - Chinatown:
SF has the largest Chinatown outside of Asia. It's also the oldest in North America. It is around one mile long by one and a half miles wide. Covers 24 square blocks. More than 100,000 people live in Chinatown. It's the most densely populated neighborhood in the city and in fact the most densely population neighborhood in the US west of Manhattan.
It really is a city within the city. Chinatown has it's own customs, languages, places of worship, social clubs, and identity.
Lots of great Dim sum joints, bakeries, tea shops, and this is where the American fortune cookie was invented.
More visitors come to Chinatown than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Portsmouth Square bustles with activity such as T'ai Chi and old men playing Chinese chess.
9 - Fisherman’s Wharf:
Probably the most touristy part of San Francisco, particularly because it’s next to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Alcatraz Tours leave from here. Book in advance. More about that in a bit.
Visit Boudin, Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory, and In-N-Out Burger.
They invested the Irish Coffee in the 1950’s at Buena Vista Cafe here.
And of course the Sea Lions
My favorite place is the arcade
10 - Alcatraz:
Probably the most famous prison in the US.
home to some of America’s most notorious criminals, Operated here from 1934 to 1963.
11 - Day Trips
Napa
Santa Cruz
Monterey / Carmel
3 nights in SF, 2 nights in Napa, 2 nights in Monterey/Santa Cruz, and maybe add a night or 2 in Silicon Valley if you are a tech nerd.
