What to Pack for your Fiji Vacation
Dress is always casual and comfortable.
We suggest loose fitting, cotton wash & wear clothing.
- 2 knee
length shorts
- 2 skirts or dresses
- Blouses, shirts or t-shirts
- Cotton trousers (denims if you
plan to ride horses)
- 2 swimsuits
- 2 pairs of tennis or hiking shoes
- Reef walkers
- Thongs or sandals
- Light jacket or sweater
- Camera, batteries & film
- Sunscreen & toiletries
- Medication
It's a good idea to pack a change of clothing in a separate
carry-on bag.
Each person is limited to 2 suitcases (up to 70 pounds/31 kilos)
on international flights and only 33 pounds/15 kilos for domestic
flights.

Tipping is not encouraged in Fiji and it is left to the individual
to determine whether to make a gratuity. Some resorts operate
a staff Christmas fund. Though tipping is not a local custom,
you will find local people tipping. This has as much to do with
social attitudes as it does recognition of the excellence of
service. Fijians ritually exchange gifts of food, clothing, "yaqona", "tabua",
kerosene, and even money during important social occasions, so
that tipping can be seen in the light of sharing. It can denote
a person of affluence who is generous. But it must be emphasized
that at all times it is a question of individual choice.

Electricity
The electrical current in Fiji is 240 volts AC 50 Hz. Fiji has
three pin power outlets identical to Australia and New Zealand.
If your applications are 110v check for a 110/240v switch; if
there is none you will need a voltage converter. Leading hotels
and resorts offer universal outlets for 240v or 110v shavers,
hair dryers, etc.
Postal & Telephone Service
Post offices are open 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday except
in Suva where it closes at 4:30pm. Of course, our phone service
is modern with direct or operator-assisted dialing
