Why travel to Fiji?
Did you know Fiji is the second most popular destination for Australian tourists in the South Pacific? Around 365,000 Aussies visited Fiji in 2019, with only New Zealand being more popular in the region.
Fiji is a truly unique and beautiful place to visit, and it offers a bit of something for everyone. With a combination of stunning natural beauty, rich culture, warm hospitality, outdoor activities and luxury accommodations at affordable prices, it's no wonder Fiji is so popular.
After the COVID-19 pandemic grounded the dreams of Aussies wanting an overseas getaway, international travel is roaring back. So why not say 'Bula' (that's 'hello' in Fijian) to Fiji by picking it as your next international stop?
What is a travel loan?
A travel loan, or holiday loan, is simply a loan used to pay for travel expenses, such as:
- Flight costs
- Accommodation
- Travel insurance
- Transport and car hires
- Tours and activities
- Activities and events
According to our data, holiday and travel expenses are commonly listed as one of the most common reasons for taking out a loan, as holidays can be very expensive indeed. By borrowing a lump sum to be repaid in manageable instalments, you know exactly what your trip will cost before you even set foot in Fiji.
About our travel loans for Fiji
Fiji can be quite an expensive place to visit (see our section on costs below). This means you'll need quite a bit of cash to stay there, and costs can easily build up if you're not careful. That's where an express travel loan with Jacaranda could help.
Instead of dipping into your hard-earned savings, our express holiday loans can provide up to $25,000 and loan terms as long as 36 months. With rapid 5-12 minutes1 applications, same-day approvals2 and 60-second transfers3 available 100% online, you could quickly receive the funds you need to start planning your Fijian getaway.

How much does it cost to travel to Fiji from Australia?
Despite its easy-going appearance, Fiji can actually be quite an expensive place to visit due to its popularity among tourists. Budget Your Trip, for example, quotes the average daily expenses for a typical Fijian holiday at $205 AUD. That's similar to what it costs to travel to the UK ($214 per day) and much more than Indonesia ($71 per day).
The average length of stay for Australian visitors is about 8 nights, according to Tourism Fiji. That means the typical Aussie holiday there would cost around $1,640 for one person and more than $3,200 for a couple. Tourism Fiji puts that number a little higher at $1,990 per person!
The overall cost of a holiday to Fiji will vary significantly depending on several key factors, such as:
- Your length of stay
- Destination within Fiji (are you staying in the capital Suva or somewhere else?)
- Your accommodation (are you staying in luxury or somewhere modest?)
- The activities you get up to
- The time of year you book and the airline you fly with
And more. According to Skyscanner, the cheapest return flights to Fiji (as of February 2023) would set you back $448, and for nightly accommodation, you'd be looking at around $125 per night (per person).

What to do/see in Fiji
Fiji might be small - it covers just 18,274 km² and has a population of just under 1 million - but that doesn't mean there's not plenty to do there. As an archipelago of more than 300 islands, Fiji could keep any tourist busy for weeks and weeks.
Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, or cultural experiences, here is just a small selection of the things you can do on your Fijian holiday.
|
Relax on the beach Fiji has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with crystal clear waters and white sand. Some of the top beaches to visit include Natadola Beach, Yasawa Islands, and the Coral Coast. |
|
Go snorkelling and scuba diving Fiji is known for its incredible underwater world, with colourful coral reefs and an abundance of marine life. There are many great spots for snorkelling and scuba diving, such as the Rainbow Reef and Beqa Lagoon. |
|
Visit a traditional Fijian village Visiting a traditional Fijian village is a great way to experience the local way of life. Some of the top villages to visit include Navala Village, Viseisei Village, and Nabalesere Village |
|
Enjoy a Fijian cultural show Many resorts and hotels offer Fijian cultural shows, which showcase traditional dances, music, and costumes. It's a great way to learn more about Fijian culture and history. |
|
Go on a river safari Fiji has many beautiful rivers that offer scenic boat rides, with the opportunity to see wildlife and local villages. The Sigatoka River Safari and the Upper Navua River Safari are both popular options. |
Health and safety concerns for travellers in Fiji
While Fiji is generally a safe and welcoming destination for tourists, there are safety concerns to be aware of just like there are in any country you visit as a tourist. The Australian Government's Smartraveller website suggests exercising 'normal safety precautions' in Fiji but does list the following things as potentially dangerous:
- Cyclones: Cyclone season in Fiji runs from November to April, and can bring heavy rains, flooding, and strong winds. If you plan to visit during this time, stay up-to-date on weather conditions and follow the advice of local authorities. Fiji can also experience landslides, earthquakes and tsunamis.
- Mosquito-borne illnesses: Fiji is at risk for mosquito-borne illnesses such as dengue fever and Zika virus. To protect yourself, use insect repellent, wear long-sleeved clothing, and stay in accommodations with screens on windows and doors.
- Petty crime: As with any tourist destination, there is a risk of petty crime in Fiji. Keep an eye on your belongings and avoid carrying large amounts of cash or valuables. Don't leave your belongings unattended on the beach, and be cautious when using ATMs or exchanging money, as ATM skimming and credit card fraud occur often.
- Water safety: While Fiji's waters are beautiful, they can be dangerous. Strong currents and rip tides can be a hazard for swimmers. Pay attention to warning signs and only swim in designated areas.
- Cultural sensitivity: Fijians are generally very friendly and welcoming, but it's important to be respectful of their culture and customs. Dress modestly when visiting villages or other traditional areas and always ask for permission before taking photos of people.
It's generally recommended that you take out a travel insurance policy before heading overseas, and you should also take note of where the Australian consulate/embassy is and how you can contact them. The Australian High Commission for Fiji is located in Suva.
