Fiji Tour Packages: What’s Included, What’s Worth It, and How to Choose

7 June 2024

If you're dreaming of white sand beaches, island-hopping adventures, and sipping cocktails at sunset - but don’t want to spend hours researching ferries, meals, or where to stay - Fiji tour packages are your best mate.

Perfect for solo travellers, couples, and backpackers alike, these multi-day packages bundle all the essentials (and then some), so you can soak up the best of Fiji without the faff. But with so many options out there, how do you know what’s worth it - and what’s just fluff?

Let’s break it down.

What’s Usually Included in a Fiji Tour Package?

Every package is a little different, but here’s what most Fiji multi-day tours tend to cover:

  • Island transfers: Boat, ferry, or water taxi - they’ll get you from island to island.

  • Accommodation: Dorms, beach huts, or private bures - you pick your comfort level.

  • Meals: Often partial (breakfasts + some dinners), though some packages are fully catered.

  • Activities: Snorkelling trips, cultural village visits, kava ceremonies, hikes, and more.

  • Tour guides: A local guide to show you around, give you insight, and keep things smooth.

  • Passes: Some tours include island passes (like Bula Passes), which offer flexibility on travel.

What’s Not Usually Included?

These may come with an extra cost:

  • Flights to/from Fiji

  • Some meals or drinks

  • Optional add-ons like scuba diving, massages, or day cruises

  • Travel insurance (always get it!)

What Makes a Fiji Tour Package Worth It?

Here’s where you weigh up value for money versus freedom.

Best Fiji tours strike a balance - enough structure to make life easy, but still some free time to explore or relax. Look for:

  • Well-rated providers with local experience

  • Group size (smaller = more personal)

  • Island coverage (Mamanucas vs Yasawas vs Viti Levu)

  • Flexible itineraries (some offer hop-on/hop-off options)

And don’t just go by the cheapest. Often, a slightly higher price gets you far better locations, food, and vibes.

How to Choose the Right Tour

  • Start with your vibe: Are you keen on party islands, chill beach days, or cultural stops?

  • Pick your pace: Want to cram in every island or go slow and savour it?

  • Choose the islands: Mamanucas are great for quick trips; Yasawas are more remote and relaxed.
