The ability to travel light is an art, especially when you haven’t the slightest clue about the country you’re travelling to. Use the checklist below to help you bring the right amount of stuff and save some space for those mementos to take home with you.

TRAVEL CHECKLIST..

.

Visa Holders of Passports from visa exempt countries, which is about 100 countries) are granted visitors visas valid for 3 months on arrival. Extensions can be done once in the country through Fiji Immigration.

• Passport: To get on the plane
• Travel insurance:  Before getting on the plane
• Bank card/credit card and extra cash.
• Health shots:  You don’t need any special jabs to travel to Fiji, but it pays to stay up to date with the usual health shots. Always ask your doctor for advice.
• Soft bag: A sturdy backpack or large soft bags/suitcase is most appropriate for adventuring around Fiji.
• Beach gears:  The beach is a big reason you are here. Remember the SPF30 sunscreen, towel, a hat to protect you from the sun, swimwear.
• Bug repellent:  Unfortunately, tropical islands comes with lovely bugs
• At least one t-shirt or shirt: Please be sure to bring a shirt that covers your shoulders and cleavage for when we visit the villages.
• Sleeping bag: Hostels generally prefer you use their bedding so a sleeping bag isn’t really necessary.
• Walking shoes that can get wet & muddy:  Sturdy walking shoes bring them for the entire wicked trek in the Biausevu Rainforest, however be aware it is the rainforest and they will get wet and muddy. Or if you don’t have any more room you can buy a cheap part in Nadi Town on the first day for FJD 20 or less.
• Sarong: you will be required to wear sarong on Day 3 for your visit to the village. it is the village protocol that sarong must be worn while entering the village.
• Camera/video camera:  To share memories with friends and win cash for yourself

At the end of the day if you’ve left something behind you most likely will be able to buy it in Fiji.

MONEY...

.

CASH OR CREDIT?

Fiji has limited amount of ATM machines in towns or shops throughout the country, however there are ATM's at all of the resorts and our Feejee Experience Driver will make an ATM stop every sector of your trip. As a result you can leave your travellers cheques at home, they were so 1994 anyway. There is no ATM's on the islands so take cash; you will be able use your credit card at each resort however.

HOW MUCH MONEY WILL I NEED EACH DAY?

Feejee Experience passes are fantastic value for money so you’ve already made a great start by choosing to travel with us. After that budget resort accommodation is usually around FJD $45 a night if you haven't prepaid or chosen one of our accommodation inclusive passes. We recommend a minimum of FJD $25-$35 per meal except on Robinson Crusoe, Beachcomber, Barefoot Kuata Resort & Barefoot Manta where meals are paid daily as part of a compulsory meal plan between $85-$112 per day. The majority of activities are included in your pass. Plus, there are a variety of optional paid activities, which your Guide can book for you. However, there’s also never any pressure to spend (we do suggest that you keep eating though!).

MONEY SAVING TIPS

Here are a few tips to ensure you have enough money to experience the awesome range of activities on offer:

• Since you cannot drink the water in most taps and you have to buy bottled drinking waters, be conscious and purchase the cheapest brand. There are a lot of different companies that sell bottled drinking water in Fiji and they vary in price, but not in the source.
• Buy local food, drinks, snacks, because all imported goods are subject to a heavy duty tax.
• Put a reasonable limit on the cocktail purchases and local brews which are between FJ$15 - $25 each.
• Buying the accommodation inclusive Feejee Experience passes will save you on accommodation!
