Overview
Take a trip to Suva on your Fiji Vacation
The city of Suva, located on the south east coast of Viti Levu, is Fiji’s political and administrative capital and the largest and most cosmopolitan city in the South Pacific on a Fiji vacation. It contains the majority of the country’s population including expats and students from all over the Pacific region.
On trips to Fiji, Suva does experience frequent rain and there are usually clouds hovering above the city. Interestingly enough, it was originally built on a reclaimed mangrove swamp.
It is a harbour city and is situated on a hilly peninsula. The city’s architecture is a mixture of modern and traditional colonial styles to be enjoyed on Suva tours.
It has many modern shopping malls and there is excellent shopping on centrally located Cumming Street. For a scenic walk, take a stroll on the Queen Elizabeth Drive. For things to do in Suva on a Fiji vacation, visit “Little India” in the town where you will find curry houses and sari shops. Visit the Fiji Museum located in the Botanical Gardens and view archaeological material dating back over 3000 years including the most extensive collection of Fijian artifacts in the world.
And believe it or not, Suva boasts 78 different parks.

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.

ExcellentBased on 5,214 ReviewsGoway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'NeillWe entrusted Goway with every detail of our trip from start to finish and they came through for us superbly! Every single detail was smooth sailing. It was a joy to plan our travels with Goway!! We had an amazing trip of a lifetime!
E&DI recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals.
We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc.
We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets.
I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed.

This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand.
