The best way to reach Fiji is by air, with direct flights available from major international hubs like Los Angeles, Sydney, Auckland, and Hong Kong to Nadi International Airport. Luxury airlines such as Fiji Airways and Qantas offer premium services, ideal for families seeking comfort. There are no trains or buses to Fiji since it is an island nation.
After arriving, private transfers, seaplanes, and high-end catamaran charters make it easy to travel between islands in style. Consider booking with reputable providers for family-friendly convenience. September’s weather is generally dry and pleasant, perfect for smooth travel, with minimal risk of tropical disturbances during your visit.
Fiji enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, usually ranging from 26°C to 31°C (79°F to 88°F). The year is split into a wet season (November to April) with higher humidity and showers, and a dry season (May to October) that brings cooler, more pleasant weather and plenty of sunshine.
From September 12 to September 19, you can expect mild, comfortable temperatures and lower humidity, making it ideal for family activities, outdoor adventures, and sightseeing tours. Extreme weather, such as cyclones, is very rare in September. Enjoy lively festivals, delicious Fijian cuisine, and vibrant nightlife, or explore the country’s rich arts and culture scene without worry.
Fijian cuisine is a delightful mix of fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and local staples like kokoda (marinated fish) and lovo (earth-oven feast). Don’t miss tasting kava, Fiji’s traditional ceremony drink, noted for its earthy flavor and cultural significance. Family-friendly options cater well to all ages, with plenty of healthy grilled fish and tropical fruits.
For luxury dining, try Ports O’ Call at the Sheraton Fiji, or enjoy modern Fijian flavors at Kokomo Private Island’s beachside restaurant. Varani Street Café and Indigo Indian Asian Restaurant are also favorites for families. Most high-end resorts offer excellent kids’ menus and accommodate dietary needs, including gluten-free and vegetarian. Tipping is appreciated but not expected, as a service charge is often included.
