There was not much I could find in advance about Fiji as a cycle touring destination, so here are 10 things about Fiji for cycle tourists that I gathered from my recent trip:
- main road on Viti Levu is in good condition, all sealed and smooth
- watch out for overtaker in front of you, they are not used to cyclists and heading straight towards you (leave the road then) and its left hand traffic
- very friendly and chatty locals
- very green, palm trees everywhere
- always hot and humid
- almost every village has a shop where you can buy water and sweets
- plenty of fruit stalls alongside the road, fruits are so delicious over there
- more horse riders than cyclists (take all your spare parts with you)
- everyone speaks English well
- not much of a place for wild camping, too bushy and all land is owned by someone, however you might be most welcome to stay with the locals
