Things to do in Fiji with Kids

The South Pacific Island of Fiji is known as an oasis made up of over 300 islands, coral reefs, calm lagoons, and white sand beaches. The availability of cheap flights from Australia, friendly locals, a laid-back atmosphere, and a large selection of affordable resorts make it a number one pick for families looking for an easy school holiday break.

While Fiji is known as a family-friendly mecca, the overwhelming choice of fun experiences for the little ones may make it difficult to pick the best options. To help make it easier for you, we’ve selected our top recommendations of things to do in Fiji with kids during these school holidays!

See Iguanas at Kula Eco Park

There’s nothing quite like getting the kids up close and personal with nature, and at the Kula WILD Adventure Park, you can do just that. Conveniently located on the Coral Coast, the park is Fiji’s biggest outdoor adventure park and ecological reserve. You can easily spend a whole day enjoying activities like Ziprail, the kiddies’ splash pool, and the Splash Mountain Jungle water slide.

For budding animal enthusiasts, the park lets visitors hold the likes of snakes and iguanas, as well as hand-feed sea turtles - all included in the park’s entry fee.

Go Snorkelling on the Coral Coast

The Coral Coast is home to some of the best beaches on the island, most of which are family-friendly! For a chilled-out day of snorkelling, head to Beqa Island Lagoon. Located a short boat trip off the coast of Viti Levu, the lagoon is famous for its coral reefs and marine biodiversity. A number of tour operators offer day trips out to the island which include all equipment and refreshments.

If you prefer to stick to the main island, Natadola Beach offers a safe environment for children to snorkel. With coral and sea life located not far from the beach itself, children won’t have to swim out into deep waters to spot some cool marine life!

Spend the day at a Resort

Resorts are almost as common as coconuts in Fiji, and most of them have excellent Kids Clubs and facilities available. If you’re in need of a break, leave the kids to be entertained while you relax with a cocktail by the pool or on the beach.

The Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort is perfect for those with babies or young children, offering a Meimei (nanny) service for children aged 6 months to 12 years. There’s also a Kids Club for children aged 3 to 12 years old which offers a range of activities and tours, including traditional Fijian cultural activities.

Ride the Sigatoka River Safari

For a fun day trip for the whole family that’s a little out of the ordinary, check out the Sigatoka River Safari. This activity combines action with culture, as Fiji’s first jet boat safari and eco-village tour.

Passengers spend the day cruising on custom-built jet boats up the Sigatoka River, the longest river on Viti Levu. After learning about the history of the river and admiring its natural beauty, it’s time to hit an authentic Fijian village. At the village, guests enjoy a village tour and traditional Fijian lunch. There’s even a singing and dancing performance to join in with, which will keep the kids entertained and give them an insight into the traditional culture of the island.

Learn about Fijian Culture

While beaches and coral reefs are a must when holidaying in the Pacific, giving the kids an insight into traditional Fijian culture can also make for an entertaining, and informative family activity. The Fiji Culture Village in Navo offers a chance for holidaymakers to have a taste of local customs and culture, in a beautiful garden setting.

Kids can enjoy carving, fishing, pottery, and dance demonstrations, while Mum and Dad can sample local Kava in a drinking ceremony. Finish the night with a freshly cooked “Lovo” (food cooked underground) dinner.
