Fiji may be known as the "one truly relaxing tropical getaway" but the Islands are tailor-made for relaxed or exhilarating adventure. It boasts miles and miles of extreme pristine beauty and is a nature lover's delight. It is not only the South Pacific hub for adventure but one of the few if only places in the world where there are so many adventure opportunities within an hour at most of each other!

Whatever your budget, the "rush" beckons throughout the islands and you'll find world-class adventure excursions that support the local communities and environment and that offer opportunities to meet Fiji's people, all of which are suited to your adventure thrills, be they on sea, air or land.

The best part is that you don't need to be an Iron Man or "Survivor" competitor to enjoy the adventure experiences that are available in Fiji. For land lubbers, there's trekking in lush rainforests and Central Highlands or mountain biking through awesome scenery and ancient inhabited villages. Or you can embrace the euphoria of up to 10,000 feet skydives and experience the mind-blowing view of Fiji from a bird's eye view.

For inland water enthusiasts, Class II, III and IV white water rafting on the Upper Navua, the Ba, and the Luva rivers should satisfy the hard adventurer. he Jet Boat and Jet Ski Safaris will not only thrill you but inspire you as well. And, for ocean lovers, you can marvel the rush of jet boating and jet skiing, windsurfing and for surfers, Fiji offers world-class surf breaks such as "Cloud Break" (in the Mamanucas), Frigates Passage (on Coral Coast) and Typhoon Alley (off Kadavu).

Fiji is one of the world's most exciting but still largely unexploited havens for fishing so we invite you to try trolling for the adrenaline rush of a monster marlin; experiencing the thrill of popper casting for giant travalley; hand-lining for a sweet lip on the reef's edge at day's end; or, simply opting to participate in a local village fish drive.

Or you can 'adventure' at a more sedate pace meandering our rivers on a bamboo rafts (known locally as a 'bilibili'); float across the shoreline on a solo, tandem or triple parasailing experience; connect with nature on an ocean, river or lagoon kayaking expedition; or simply lose yourself swimming our pristine waters with giant manta rays!

For those seeking paradise underwater, you'll discover why Jean-Michel Cousteau calls Fiji the "soft coral capital of the world" and with that accolade comes some of the best snorkeling and scuba-diving anywhere.

For snorkelers and divers Bill Harrgan of Sport Diver magazine says that "The Fiji seascape is lush with color and diversity in a way few other destinations can match. Even the sunlight and seawater can't mute the volume of Fiji's symphony of hues."

Rated among the Top 10 dive destinations in the world, Fiji's vast, varied and colorful underwater playgrounds boast something spectacular for divers at every skill level and the "unparalleled range of quality dive sites and sheer diversity of life on Fijian reefs is overwhelming breathtaking": hard and soft corals, wall dives, caves, grottos and shipwrecks. Fiji is truly a diver's paradise where the daily menu is so diversified that it is sometimes difficult to believe you are in the same country.

Fiji's vast and colorful underwater playgrounds (4% of the planet's coral reefs) are teeming with 1500 species of fishes including dozens of rare or endemic species, 1000 known species of invertebrates and thousands more discoveries predicted, 445 documented marine plants, 400 known species of coral and five of the world's seven marine turtles, three kinds of sea snake, an infinite variety of crustaceans and mollusks, worms and other vertebrate.

Fiji is also home to a variety of sharks as well as pilot, humpback, orca, and sperm whales, spinner dolphins, giant grouper, tuna, manta rays and sea turtles. This variety and diversity is matched only by the professional competence of the dive operators and the warm smiles and caring assistance of every Fijian dive crew member you'll meet.
