Fiji honeymoon itinerary: 7 nights, day by day
Fiji is the warm heart of the South Pacific — 333 islands scattered across a sea so intensely turquoise it looks digitally enhanced, inhabited by people whose natural warmth and joy are genuinely unlike anywhere else.

The reef system is among the healthiest in the Pacific, the kava ceremonies are a genuine cultural experience, and the "Bula!" greeting you'll receive a hundred times a day never stops feeling sincere. Fiji works as a standalone honeymoon or as the Pacific leg of an LA or Sydney stopover.
