What to wear

Pack light, breathable clothing such as cotton or linen to stay cool in the tropical heat. Swimsuits, hats, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen are must-haves for beach days. Comfortable shoes or sandals are great for exploring islands, while lightweight rain gear is handy during the wet season. For cultural visits, like a village tour, modest attire is appreciated.

Money & Credit Cards

The Fijian dollar (FJD) is the local currency. Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels, larger restaurants, and shops in urban areas, though cash is recommended for smaller vendors and island markets. ATMs are available in main towns and resorts, so you can withdraw local currency as needed.

Always notify your bank prior to departure to avoid any problems using your credit or debit card while traveling.
