Finding the perfect destination for your next holiday – one that excites both the the kids and parents – is not always an easy task. Kids easily get bored and require lots of entertainment, while most parents simply want a chance to unwind and forget the stresses of daily life. If they can experience a bit of culture, history and natural beauty, it’s a bonus.
The good news is that Fiji fits the bill when it comes to a family-friendly holiday. Fiji is the idyllic South Pacific paradise, offering sparkling azure waters, picturesque beaches, unspoiled rainforests and the friendliest of people. Its lively multicultural community is made up mostly of Pacific, Indian, Asian and European, and has such diversity that there is always something new to experience.
Fiji largely caters for families, and this is seen from the moment you arrive. The locals love children and are family orientated, so if it is the special treatment you are after on a holiday to Fiji be sure to bring the kids. Fiji is one giant playground full of snorkelling, white sandy beaches, glass bottom boats, canoes, swimming and volleyball. If this sounds tiring, a cruise could be your perfect option, as they offer on-board childminding services that allow you time to recover from all the fun.
