Fiji provides a wealth of activity in perfect surroundings. Development has been carefully controlled so as not to disrupt the beautiful clear seas, reefs, lagoons, rivers, forests and mountains. As one would expect, there is a good range of aquatic activities such as diving, surfing or kayaking. Many activities are specifically geared towards observing the wildlife both marine and inland. Turtles, sharks, sea snakes, dolphins and rays are just a few examples of the creatures to be spotted in the clear water. Shark-feeding tours for the adventurous or glass-bottomed boat tours are widely available, and diving tours for all levels of expertise are frequently run.
Further inland, activities such as rain forest hikes, mangrove exploring and river kayaking can be pursued. The nature enthusiast can expect to find mongooses, iguanas, tree frogs and many species of parrot.
