fiji by caiden

The name of Fiji's main island, Viti Levu, served as the origin of the name Fiji though the common English pronunciation is based on that of Fiji's island neighbors in Tonga. If you think about Fiji and picture an island oasis, you’d be spot on. Picture hammocks swaying in the breeze between two coconut trees, friendly, vibrant local culture and people, interesting villages, and wild jungle that ends where the bright beach begins. Fiji is set in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, less than 4 hours flight east of Brisbane and Sydney. It is made up of more than 330 islands and is surrounded by Vanuatu and New Caledonia to the west, Samoa and Tonga to the east, and New Zealand to the south.
