Best Time to Visit

Discover the perfect time for your island escape

Fiji is a year-round tropical paradise

With warm weather, lush rainforests, and crystal-clear waters all year long, there’s truly no bad time to visit Fiji. But depending on your travel style — whether you’re chasing the sun, looking for quieter beaches, or planning to dive or surf — some months might suit you better than others.

The Dry Season: May to October

Best for: Beach weather, outdoor adventures, and peak events

This is Fiji’s peak tourist season, and for good reason. These months bring:

  • Clear blue skies and low humidity

  • Cooler evenings (perfect for outdoor dining)

  • Excellent visibility for snorkelling and diving

  • Major cultural events like the Bula Festival and Hibiscus Festival

Average temperatures: 26–30°C (78–86°F)
Tip: Book accommodation and tours in advance, especially from June to August.

The Wet Season: November to April

Best for: Fewer crowds, lush scenery, and off-peak deals

Fiji’s wet season is warmer, more humid, and marked by short tropical showers — often in the late afternoon or overnight. It’s also when the islands are at their greenest and most vibrant.

Why consider visiting during this time?

  • Fewer tourists = more space on the beach

  • Lower prices on resorts and flights

  • Stunning sunsets and warm ocean waters

  • Great surf season for the Coral Coast and outer reefs

Average temperatures: 28–32°C (82–90°F)
Note: This season overlaps with cyclone season, but major storms are rare and closely monitored. Travel insurance is a smart choice.
