How to plan an inexpensive trip to the Fiji Islands?

ArabiaWeather.com - Ismail Ghasimi - Fiji has always been seen as a dream destination for travelers. This archipelago of more than 300 islands is located in the South Pacific Ocean and needs a long 27-hour flight from the Middle East, but there is a common misconception that the trip One to Fiji needs a big budget, but the truth is that you can organize your trip to Fiji on your budget, without counting the price of the plane ticket, of course.

Flights to Fiji

To get from the Arab region, you must cross from Sydney first, then another flight to the capital's airport, "Nadi", which is the only international airport. Sydney is the best transit destination because it provides the cheapest prices on flights from the Middle East and to Fiji. A flight to Fiji may cost you $ 2,500 and above.

Choose your destination

Do not wait until the last minute to book everything because it will be more expensive, and do not try to visit as many islands as possible, because everything in the archipelago is beautiful and on any island you are on you will live the wonderful experience of Fiji.

There are more than 20 main islands that can be visited, and they are divided into two regions: Mamanuka and Yasawa, and you can choose between these two regions to visit.

Shipping

After reaching Nadi, you can head towards the internal airport and from there to the distant islands. Since it is a matter of traveling on a limited budget, it is better to stay in the islands near the area and the port is near the airport, where you can easily get a boat there or call in advance. Either way it will be the same price.

And since the use of boats is very available, you will be able to get around the various islands in Fiji near your area, for example, you can stay on Mana Island, which is close to the capital, and visit the nearby islands during the day.

Accommodation options

They vary from exclusive 5-star resorts to standard hotels and backpackers' lodges that start at $9 a night on the islands and $4 in a "club" but the latter has no reason to stay except for the night of arrival, as it is not a tourist destination.

On Mana Island, for example, which is located only 3 hours from Nadi, a group of picturesque beaches and boats are available on the nearby islands, and there are only two hostels for less than $ 20 per night and with an addition of $ 15 you can get lunch and dinner. On Beachcomber Island, there are accommodation options for less than $12, but you'll pay $40 for three meals a day.

other information

If you want to connect to the Internet while you are on the beach, it is best to buy a SIM card at the airport for $ 5, which will enable you to get 1 GB of Internet on your smartphone, while Wi-Fi will cost you about $ 5 per hour, if available. .

Also, remember to withdraw your money in the capital or the main places in the country, as most of the smaller islands do not have ATMs.
