Exotic Vacation Destinations in Fiji
Vacation destinations in Fiji bring a wealth of unique and interesting things to enjoy for the thousands of visitors who travel to its shores each year. The tropical climate and all that this kind of climate brings is one of the reasons why so many travellers choose to take their annual holiday in the Fijian island nation. However, what puts the country head and shoulders above many other tropical nations is the exotic culture and history of the Fijian people. Do not be fooled by the fact that Fijians were once inclined to indulge in cannibalism! They are some of the friendliest people on earth and welcome visitors with such genuine and heartfelt generosity of spirit that guests always feel they are leaving friends behind when it is time to journey home.
From the initial booming welcome of 'Bula' upon arrival to the sad and gentle strains of the farewell song called Isa Lei, you will be enchanted by the treatment and respect they give you. Going out of their way to ensure you enjoy your stay in their wonderful islands, they will be ready to share with you their history, traditions and customs. And unlike some places in the world, they are not doing so expecting a handout. Visit a local village and learn about their daily life. Join in a Sunday church service and marvel at the strength, harmony and tuneful joy of the hymn singing - all unacommpanied by instruments.
Watch a Fijian scale a palm tree in record time and cut down a fresh green coconut for you to drink. Learn all the many uses of the humble coconut, or how to weave a simple basket. These demonstrations are not rehearsed from half-forgotten traditions of yesteryear. These are all day to day features of the lives of these friendly people. And stay in a Fijian bure, with lofty thatched roofs and traditional woven sinnet decorations decorating the hardwood timber poles supporting the roof.
Should you be thinking of getting married in Fiji, ask about a traditional Fijian wedding, complete with tapa bridal wear and Fijian warriors escorting the bride on a floral decorated bamboo raft toward an 'altar' on the beach. There is nothing quite so unique and exotic.
