Why should you plan a Fiji vacation for this year?

1. Fiji Is Affordable & Easy to Get To

Fiji invites you to experience the finest in Polynesian hospitality. There’s a wide variety of accessibility across the properties in the Fijian islands, meaning you can book your dream South Pacific vacation without any hassle. Fiji is also surprisingly affordable. There are a wide range of accommodation options for travellers, meaning you’ll find something for your budget. Getting there is also a pleasure, as Fiji Airways offers wonderful service with their new Airbus A350 from Los Angeles. The aircraft has vertical walls and high ceilings, giving the impression you’re in a room opposed to an aircraft. The service onboard the flight is second-to-none.

2. Fijian Hospitality Is Genuinely Welcoming

When you set foot on the Fijian islands, you’ll be welcomed with wide smiles and the ubiquitous “bula” (Fijian for “hello”) everywhere you go. People here are friendly, and it’s not just a show. We noticed, as did our travel partners who’ve returned over the past few months, that Fiji is one of the friendliest destinations we’ve ever visited. The hospitality is sincere and genuinely welcoming. Whether you stay on Viti Levu or choose to visit one of the numerous little islands across the archipelago, you’ll enjoy a hearty welcome as well as access to some of the world’s finest beaches.

You’ll also find an accommodation that suits your travel style and needs. Work with your Goway Destination Specialist or your trusted travel advisor to book a stay that suits you. There are renowned brands that you’ll recognize from back home, as well as boutique local properties that offer seamless travel experiences overlooking picture-perfect lagoons. We work hard to ensure our resort collection features the best in Fijian splendour. Our Fijian properties also cater to families. They keep your little ones or tweens occupied with fun activity programs while you sip cocktails on the beach or head on scuba diving excursions.

Our activity and excursion options take advantage of the islands’ natural beauty. If you stay on Viti Levu, we recommend a day trip to one of the nearby private islands for a sun-soaked day at a beach club. If you’re after a good party, we can also arrange a visit to a bar floating in the middle of the Pacific. Just imagine the Instagram pics!

3. Fiji Is Perfect for Romantic Getaways

With its picturesque beachside environments and pampering resorts, it’s no surprise Fiji is the perfect romantic destination for couples and honeymooners. Your romantic getaway in paradise can be as leisurely or active as you desire. You can spend your days kicking back on the powder-soft beaches and tuning into the sound of the waves and the humming of palm trees rustling in the warm ocean breeze. You can take to the water and enjoy a wide variety of aquatic activities, including snorkelling, sailing with a hobie cat, and even jet skiing. You can also go for long, relaxing walks along the shoreline before retiring to the pampering and intimate resort accommodations.

4. Fiji Is Home to an Underwater Wonderland

If you’ve ever wanted to explore beneath the waves, you’re in luck in Fiji. The country is a haven for scuba divers and snorkellers. Many of our featured resorts have an on-site marine biologist, making Fiji a great place to explore and learn about the waters of the South Pacific. In fact, you may be lucky enough to enjoy an ocean safari without even getting wet. If you stay in an overwater bungalow, you can watch schools of exotic tropical fish, sharks, stingrays, and turtles right from your deck. You can also head to a local jetty to enjoy the great views of the waters.

There are daily opportunities for scuba diving and snorkelling adventures. Keen divers will be happy to explore the superb reefs surrounding the islands. If you’re not yet PADI certified, there’s nothing to worry about. Most of our hotels offer 3-day certification programs and online training prior to your arrival, which means that you will be ready to take your first dive in no time. Rely on our Goway Destination Specialists to guide you through the process.

5. Fiji Is a Verdant Paradise

You can even enjoy rafting adventures along the rivers. You can also visit the local communities to get in touch with locals and witness the rhythms of Fijian life firsthand. After all, it’s the friendliness and warmth of the Fijians that makes a visit so unforgettable.

For first-time visitors, I suggest splitting their stay to experience a few nights at a resort along the Coral Coast, where they could experience a visit to a local village, then end their trip at one of the islands in the Mamanucas to experience some different beaches and activities. For returning visitors, I recommend exploring a different group of islands, such as heading to one of the Northern Islands, which is a short flight from Nadi.

This was the first time we had utilized Goway. We wanted a custom itinerary for a 3 week Italy, Athens and Greek Island adventure. Edwina Brislane was receptive to our goals for the trip, had helpful suggestions and reacted well to our requested revisions. Lisa Dachuk helped "tie a ribbon" on the trip and ensured we had considered all aspects of the experience. Lisa dealt quickly with a couple of requests while on the trip and celebrated a successful trip with us. We enjoyed working with both Edwina and Lisa. Their knowledge and enthusiasm contributed to our very memorable trip.Dan & Gail

I recently traveled to Greece with friends, and our entire experience was exceptional thanks to the planning support we received from Avery at GoWay. Every part of our itinerary was organized with care, accuracy, and great attention to detail. Our accommodations — Hera Hotel Athens and Sofitel Athens Airport — were comfortable, well‑located, and exactly what we needed. All airfares from Calgary and the multiple transfers (airport to city centre, city centre to Piraeus Port, and back again) were perfectly coordinated and made the trip completely stress‑free. The 7‑night Idyllic Aegean Cruise was a major highlight. It was beautifully arranged and gave us an unforgettable way to explore the islands. Our excursions were equally impressive: Skip‑the‑Line Acropolis & Acropolis Museum timed entry, which made sightseeing smooth and efficient Classical Greece: Olympia, Delphi & Meteora, a breathtaking and well‑paced journey through some of Greece’s most iconic historical sites Avery was consistently responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout the planning process. Every confirmation, transfer, and timing detail was handled flawlessly, allowing us to simply enjoy the trip without worrying about logistics. I highly recommend GoWay Travel — and especially Avery — for anyone planning a trip to Greece. This was one of the best travel experiences I’ve had, thanks to their outstanding service and organization.Lorraine

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful 2 week trip to Chile, South America arranged for us by Goway Travel. Every detail of the trip was outstanding. The hotel choices were perfect for us as were the tours Goway arranged. All the guides were prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable. Our Destination Specialist, Karen Larrota, did an fantastic job setting up the itinerary. Communication with her during the booking process was excellent. The Goway customer service team reached out to us several times during the trip (as did Karen) which was very reassuring. We have traveled with Goway previously and will surely do so again.

An Extraordinary Tour Guide in Xi’an China Leo a blessing we will never forget There are some people who come into your life and leave footprints on your heart that will last forever, Leo was one of those people for us. My husband, Keith, and I dreamed of visiting China for more than 30 years and Leo helped make that dream an unforgettable blessing. He was more than a tour guide. He was a wonderful teacher, a caring soul, and a blessing from God. His knowledge of Chinese history and culture was remarkable from the terra-cotta warriors to the ANCIENT city wall, the Monastery, and the local art gallery, Leo brought every experience to life. He taught us so much and helped us appreciate the beauty and history of China in ways we will never forget. What touched me most was his compassion for my husband Keith, knowing Keith had difficult breathing and walking long distance and walking Leo thoughtfully arranged a wheelchair so he could enjoy the journey with everyone that kindness meant more to me than words can express Leo patience, professionalism kindness and genuine care for our group. May every moment special. He make sure we were comfortable learned something new and enjoyed authentic Chinese food and created memories we will cherish for a lifetime I truly believe God placed special people in our lives for a reason, and Leo was certainly one of those blessings for our group. We are forever grateful for the knowledge, laughter, compassion, and beautiful memorial. He gave us I recommend Leo wholeheartedly, to anyone visiting Xi’an China. You will leave with more than photograph you will leave, with knowledge appreciation, and memories that stay in your heart forever Leo may God continue to bless you, protect you, and guide you as you touch the lives of travelers from around the world. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of our China story. You will never be forgotten With love and gratitude Lisa & KeithLisa Paul

My wife and I have just returned from our 5th trip with Goway. Once again everything ran smoothly from first day to last. This trip was the 9 day all Ireland tour which covered both north & south Ireland. The tour was operated by Rabbies tours whom we used in Scotland and the 16 passenger van only had 6 passengers including us.Other than a couple of days the weather was prety good although the wind did get a bit wild. The pub food was delicious & i got a taste for real Guiness. We spent a few extra days in Dublin and found it very expensive, the excange rate didn't help. Our travel consultant Jaqueline personalised the trip and was very helpful. George Croome

Harpreet Litt provided us with a rich experience for our week. She offered good choices for local tour companies. We had a very good guide in Osaka. She is an Osaka resident with good English skills. She took extra pains to include opportunities we requested Osaka was a beautiful city at night. My photos of restaurants and street food were colorful and fun. Food was good too.Noel Chrisman
