5. Drink Kava with the locals
Travelers cannot say they have been to Fiji unless they have tried the local delicacy of the Kava drink. When you meet any Fijian they will encourage you to try Kava. It is best to participate in Kava ceremony or casually drink the Kava with the locals with high tide or low tide (full cup or half). The drink is for only adults due to its alcohol like effects. Some vacationers will love Kava and some may want to keep to the low tide, but nevertheless it is a must-try in Fiji.

Tip from Content Creator
I never really expected to visit Fiji; it’s one of those places you dream about spending your honeymoon in! Luckily, the flights from Australia weren’t too expensive, and it was only a four-hour flight away. I spent my 25th birthday on an island and made a bunch of new friends who were buying me drinks the whole night, so life couldn’t get better than that! Here are the highlights of our trip to Fiji:
- Visiting a Fijian village and go chasing waterfalls (book on Viator)
- Eating like locals at Tu’s Place; kokoda is a Fijian favourite
- Visiting the Mamanuca islands - Castaway Island is where the movie Castaways was filmed, while Beachcomber Island is more popular with young people and has more of a lively feel
- Finding the bluest water and the whitest sand, head to Blue Lagoon (a four-hour ferry ride from Nadi)
- Eating a traditional ‘lovo’, which is the Fijian way of cooking
- Going scuba diving at the Great White Wall
