Top Excursions & Activities To Do On A Fiji Honeymoon

Check out Fiji Diving for some of the best spots to experience the marine life, or rent your SUP from Momi Surf.
Relish in a Spa Treatment
Almost all the resorts and hotels in Fiji will have a private wellness spa, so couples can treat themselves to massages, facials, or even just an express manicure as a little treat. Most spas offer simple treatments starting at $50.
We highly recommend the Valeni Sasauni Spa Sanctuaryon Vanua Levu.
Explore the Islands by Road
The larger islands have decent road infrastructure, and you will regret it if you don’t venture inland and explore the many secrets of the islands. Car rentals will cost you around $42 per day.
Of note is the King’s Road on Viti Levu, which will take you on a day trip across the island, with many small villages and secret beaches along your route.

If you don’t feel like getting wet, then a boat cruise is the best way to enjoy the ocean. There are several cruises on offer on the myriad of islands – sunset cruises, party cruises, transport cruises, or cruises that take you to uninhabited islands.
Captain Cook Cruises offers some amazing sailing and cruising option in Fiji, including dinner cruises and full-day cruises.
