Travelling solo in Fiji
Arriving alone is fine: plenty of people start a Fiji trip on their own, and a travel partner can be someone you share one day with or the whole route.
- Check reef and current conditions before snorkeling alone.
- At night, use a licensed taxi or a ride-hailing app rather than an unmarked car.
- Carry a copy of your ID and leave the original in your accommodation safe.
