Dravuni Island, Fiji is a classic south Pacific island paradise. The island is small but offers enough land to get lost in while exploring the many hills and valleys. It is truly amazing to see the island from the tallest point on the island. The hike up the hill is not too strenuous. Just take your time and you will be rewarded with these views.
Fiji is an island country in Melanesia in the South Pacific Ocean about 1,100 miles (2,000 km) northeast of New Zealand's North Island. Its closest neighbors are Vanuatu to the west, France's New Caledonia to the southwest, Tonga to the east, the Samoas, and Tuvalu to the north. The country comprises an archipelago of more than 332 islands, of which 110 are permanently inhabited.
The climate in Fiji is tropical marine
and warm most of the year with minimal temperature extremes. The warm season
is from November to April and the cooler season begins in May and lasts until October. Temperature in the cool season still averages
22 °C (72 °F). Rainfall is variable, but the warmer season experiences heavier rainfall,
especially inland. Winds are moderate, though cyclones occur about once
a year.
Back down at sea level, you'll be walking through lush tropical forest. Such as this. I loved walking around this area as the sea breeze, warm temperatures and lush plants were all so full of life.
After hiking and exploring, it's time to relax on the beach or go for a swim in the warm ocean water.
If you ever get the chance to take a cruise in the South Pacific, make sure to include some of the smaller islands that Fiji has to offer. You will truly feel like you are the only person on the island. Enjoy.
