When To Visit Fiji

In our experience, the best time for visiting Fiji is between May and October. In this period, Fiji is sunny and warm, with less rain. However, June through September is the peak tourist season so it can get crowded and prices may be higher.

The months of April and May, as well as October and November, offer moderate weather and lower prices.

You can visit between November and April if you're looking for fewer people and a better deal. Note that this is the rainy season, so prepare for higher humidity and heavier rainfall.
