Book Description

Frommer's Complete Guides September 9, 2008
America’s #1 bestselling travel series

Written by more than 175 outspoken travelers around the globe, Frommer’s Complete Guides help travelers experience places the way locals do.

  • More annually updated guides than any other series
  • 16-page color section and foldout map in all annual guides
  • Outspoken opinions, exact prices, and suggested itineraries
  • Dozens of detailed maps in an easy-to-read, two-color design

Completely new for 2008, Frommer’s Fiji completely details the highlights of this 300-plus island nation, covering the best beaches, outdoor activities, all-inclusive resorts, and cultural experiences. Our author has written about the South Pacific for years, so he's able to provide valuable insights and advice, steering you away from the touristy and the inauthentic, and showing you the real heart of Fiji. From the “mainland” island of Viti Levu and the neighboring resorts on Denarau Island and the Mamanuca Islands to the pristine northern Fiji islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni. From the best spots for sailing, snorkeling, diving, fishing, hiking, and rafting, to the best ways to explore the region's complex cultural and political history, as well as its flora, fauna, and topography.

You’ll travel Fiji like a pro with our candid advice, In-Depth Appendix, and handy Active Vacation Planner. Also included are accurate regional and town maps, an online directory that makes trip-planning a snap, up-to-date advice on finding the best package deals, and Suggested Itineraries on how to explore this island nation in one week and two weeks, with additional itineraries for families, outdoors enthusiasts, and honeymooners!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not if you're a backpacker, February 26, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frommer's Fiji, 1st Edition (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
While this guide seems to cover a fair range of resorts and lodges, camping and dorm-style facilities are typically only noted when they are adjucts to more expensive facilities. There's no information I can find on street vendor food, and very little said about which little hole-in-the-wall restauraunts locals love and which to skip. In reference to Kadavu island, the author even states that he didn't review five or six large lodges because getting to them was too hard. (You have to take a skiff.)

If you're sticking to the beaten trails, this guide is likely sufficient.

This review is from: Frommer's Fiji, 1st Edition (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
I have bought this book prior to my trip.
Finished it in a heartbeat.
The book is beautifully written, filled with plenty of useful information.
Though I've been also catching up online, I've noticed that the book is very up to date.
It has helped me loads in planing and I would recommend it to anyone planing a trip to Fiji.
