Travel advice for Fiji
Fiji - 2 weeks
You fly into Nadi (pronounced Nandi). You’ll probably end up staying at a Wailoaloa beach hostel. When you leave Fiji to go to back to the airport you don't need to get a taxi to the airport. You can get a bus to the main road get off there then walk left for a bit then you'll get to another bus stop this bus will take you to the airport for 2 FJD as opposed to 15 FJD for the taxi.
I drank the tapwater in mainland Fiji and I was fine.The food in Nadi town is much cheaper and nicer than the food at the hostels/hotels at wailoaloa. you can get to and from Nadi town by a cheap bus rather than an expensive taxi. There is a corner store near the hostels in Nadi which sells much cheaper beer than at the hostel bar.
When you go out to the Islands you can't drink the tapwater so before you go buy your own (2/3 litres a day) or get other peoples/your old drinking water bottles and fill them up at a tap and bring them before you go. At a push you can drink the tapwater but it tastes a bit salty (extend your brought water supply and potential mix bottled water with island tapwater). I paid 285FJD haggled down from 305FJD) for 4 days on mana island which included 3 meals a day, bed and travel there and back. At the time of writing (July 2017) this the survivor TV crew are working on Mana island and will be for the next few months probably. While they’re filming a lot of the island is inaccessible and some of the excursions are limited. Mana island is still the cheapest island to go to so still go but ask/demand a discount with the knowledge you know (50 FJD maybe). When on Mana Island you can haggle a bit about prices for excursions. when I was there we combined a snorkelling trip and visit to castaway island and saved a bit of money. on Mana island you get three meals but i asked for extra at usually got it. If you drink it might be worth bringing alcohol out to the island with you rather than buy it on the island as it is more expensive.
£700 spent (including £100 on scuba diving)
