Pacific Harbour

Our first trip out of Suva was to Pacific Harbour - a short (45-60 mins) bus or taxi ride to the west. For the trip there, we braved the local bus and must say it was pretty comfortable and at only FJD $4, very affordable.

Pacific Harbour calls itself "the adventure capital of Fiji" and so has plenty of activities on offer, the most notorious of which is diving with sharks out on Beqa lagoon. Thankfully we don't have a license for scuba diving.

The town itself is pretty small, with a group of touristy shops and cafes centred around and arts and cultural centre and backpacker accommodation. There are two main beachside resorts: The Pearl and The Uprising Resort. We stayed at Nanette's Homestay on River Drive and were impressed with her lovely house and hospitality. When we weren't wandering around town, eating in restaurants or snorkelling out on the reef, we were lounging around Nanette's pool. So, life in Pacific Harbour was pretty tough.
