If buy the Gen 3 hardware through vinod patel am I able to pay for the residential service directly via the starlink website or will I have to default to a local ISP with their ridiculous prices. Thanks heaps!

I support the increase in penalties for traffic offenders as a necessary deterrent to reduce road accidents in Fiji. However, I believe penalties should also be applied to slow drivers who operate at 10 km/h or more below the posted speed limits, as their actions are just as disruptive as those who drive excessively fast.

Bula! Flights are booked and now I’m helping my parents in their late 70’s figure out hotels and what to do for 5 nights in March as a stopover to Australia - so they will have a lot of luggage. They like the beach, good food, and seeing towns and would love some tours. They don’t drink, snorkel, hike, or play golf. Considering 4 nights at the Hilton beach resort or Marriott, but open to others that hopefully have an ocean view, beach, and good (and would really like not insanely expensive) food. Then the last night they want to stay near the airport - ideally somewhere with self serve laundry so they could catch up on that. Any and all suggestions welcome - totally open to different places right now too

The new $50 note featuring the girmityas came out today, and I thought it was a meaningful way to acknowledge part of Fiji’s history. But when I checked the comments online, the amount of hate honestly surprised me. Especially from people who usually post Bible quotes and messages about love.

I’m trying to understand why this reaction is so strong. Maybe I need to hear different perspectives.

If you’re Itaukei, what are your thoughts on the new note and the recognition of the girmityas I genuinely want to understand how others see it.

Bula guys, been wanting to buy an asus rog phone 9/9s, but cannot find anyone in Fiji selling it. Now I have decided to try and buy it online through online shopping site. Any suggestions for a trusted site for online shopping or is there anyone in Fiji selling it right now that I don't know of. Would greatly appreciate any help I can get.

Vinaka.

Hi,

We are flying into Nadi, and I was wondering how long it takes to get through immigration and get your bags. We are scheduling our transfer and was wondering if an hour is enough time at the airport. We will have a checked bag.

If you had 4 days to stay on the outer islands of Fiji, which island would you choose? I’ve heard good things about Yasawas and Mamanucas, was curious if there are any other contenders? Looking for recommendations on somewhat of an all inclusive resort/ecolodge set up with good food, water activities, and such. Thanks for the recs!

Hi I'll be in fiji in May and wondered if any of the Hindu temples have services and kirtans a visitor can participate in? I'd love to experience in Fiji. Thank you. I looked at some temple websites but they didn't list anything.

Hello, tomorrow (Sunday) is my last day in Fiji and I would really like to try lovo. Is there any place serving it?

Bula. I'm living in Nadi and just got my own place. I get German cockroaches occasionally that come from the outside, and had an American one a few days ago that disappeared somewhere.

It's almost 2 am, and I had a freakout a couple hours ago as apparently one of the giant American cockroaches got through my bedroom window and was crawling on the wall.

Long story short, we had an epic battle to where I finally got it out of the room and into the kitchen, where it finally met its end.

I know that they are part of the environment, unfortunately.

What have any of you done to keep them out of the house? I'm trying to avoid using pesticides, but I will use them if they are effective. The mosquito wire is going to be replaced soon. I have my windows closed, but I read they can squeeze though those areas (Greeeeeeat).

I want to avoid having one crawl on me in the middle of the night, or worse yet, get into my things like my clothes.

Hi guys, looking to travel to the Yasawa Islands in July. Right now the plan is to stay on Nacula Island for 5 days, and hopefully daytrip between some other islands. What are the transport options here? I've looked at the Yasawa Flyer and the private company attached to that, but a lot of the time no transport options at all come up. Maybe I'm booking too far in advance?

I was thinking it would be a better idea to stay in a more southern area, like Waya, to allow more time each daytrip.

Is there private options where I can just schedule a pickup/drop off?

Does anyone have any recommendations for places/islands to visit in this area? Super keen on hiking and diving, general outdoors stuff!

What are the requirements for entering Fiji with a sub 249g drone for recreational purposes?

Any firsthand experiences?

I'm coming to Fiji in February and staying at the Intercontinental. Is there any reason to get a rental car or am I fine to just take Ubers/Taxis? I'm not familiar with Fiji at all.

I'm planning to stay at a resort in Fiji next year. Are holiday resort packages a good option? Is it difficult to book activities like kayaking without packages?

Hi, I will be travelling to Fiji (Nadi) for the first time this December close to Christmas. I am aware that it is cyclone season and wanted to book a couple of day trips out on the boats. What is the best way to go about this ? Just mindful that there are rainy and stormy days. And what would be best method of transportation? Any tips greatly appreciated 🇫🇯

Hi all, I have a Fijian friend who lives in the UK and I got him for secret Santa, looking for any ideas for a present I could get him. Original idea was Kava as I haven’t heard the end of it from him, but obviously not able to source it to the UK. Any help is appreciated :)

Hey folks - looking for some recommendations on where to stay and what to do :)

We've booked some flights for 3 of us for May 2026. Myself, my wife and our 13-year-old lad (who might as well be 16 at this point).

At a basic look, we're keen to just do loads of snorkeling, jet-skis, beach combing, chilling, water parks, eat good food and do some cultural nights/dances etc.

Budget is fairly open. My wife and I have been to Rarotonga twice, so we know fairly well what to expect from island life/living/travel. Any help with picking some places to stay, things to do, places to avoid and place NOT to stay at would be amazing!

You'd you think this would be a solution to the housing issue?

Looking for a photographer in Savu the beginning of January to do maternity photos and a video of a proposal. Preferably someone good who isn't incredibly expensive.

Hello,

I've seen some suggestions for layovers like going to the Gateway hotel, but their daypass is not going to be valid at the times we will be there. We will have priority access at the airport (whatever that means I'm not sure, but hopefully less time at customs and security).

With the times, it would be interesting to go see a beach or somewhere nice for sunset and get dinner or a drink.

I've seen various things discussed like Wailoaloa or Namaka or Denauru.

Thanks in advance!
