Survivor Fiji in the South Pacific
Location Info:
Fiji is located in the Oceania, island group in the South
Pacific Ocean, about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to
New Zealand
Fiji is a tropical paradise, with clear
blue waters for snorkeling amongst one of the most
extensive barrier reefs in the world, palm tree-fringed
beaches and a tropical marine climate of only slight
seasonal temperature variation. This island group in the
South Pacific Ocean, about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii
to New Zealand, became independent in 1970, after nearly a
century as a British colony. The culture is a mixture of
Melanesian, Polynesian, Micronesian, Indian, Chinese and
European influences. "BULA" is a word you'll hear
often, used as a greeting and a farewell by the natives of
the islands.
The main cities are Suva and Nadi, while
there are countless small, native villages on most of the
islands. Blessed with beautiful reefs and lagoons,
activities such as swimming, snorkeling and diving are
popular.
