Everybody has a dream desert island: Fiji can make that dream come true. Three hundred times over. Lying like a handful of pearls in the Southweast Pacific, the 300 islands that make up Fiji have it all – and more. Fantastic water sports – including spear and big-game fishing; great food- tropic feasts, Chinese, Indian and European; rich entertainment – traditional and Western style singing and dancing and, above all, the sort of warm hospitality you’d expect from a people whose neighbors are thousands of ocean miles away.
Captain Cook was one of the first recorded tourists, followed by Captain Bligh of the Bounty. Duty didn’t permit them to stay, but many others since have stayed and settled – Indians nd Chinese principally and, with the Fijians themselves and some Europeans, they form a truly harmonious and hospitable community.
