How to Plan Your Honeymoon in Fiji

Once known as the "Cannibal Isles," Fiji has thankfully moved on to less threatening cuisine, which has led the peaceful country to become a haven for honeymooners. The population is a mix of Indian, Chinese, Melanesian, Micronesian and Polynesian people who enjoy sharing their tropical island paradise with outsiders.

1. Fly to Fiji via Air New Zealand (800-262-1234) or Air Pacific, both international carriers with great service from the major airports, including Los Angeles, Honolulu, Auckland and Sydney.
2. Jump into a Fiji vacation headfirst. It's a perfect spot for lovers of hiking, trekking, horseback riding, snorkeling, diving, fishing, surfing and river rafting. If you're not an active couple, there are plenty of palm trees under which you can sip a Fiji Bitter, the favorite local beer.
3. Avoid the rain on the windward side of the islands from November to April, but know that you can always find sunshine, as showers tend to be localized. If you both enjoy sailing or windsurfing, you'll love the afternoon breezes from March through October.
4. Be thrifty; you can stay at nice hotels and eat well for approximately $40 to $50 per day. Finer resorts offer inclusive packages with more amenities for $100 to $250 per day.
5. Arrange a stay at one of the tiny offshore island camps, which feature a Fijian-style hut called a "bure."
6. Surf at world-class breaks like Cloudbreak, Restaurants, Swimming Pools, Frigate's and Wilke's Pass.
7. Tour the islands from the air on a helicopter to give you an exciting perspective on the geography and wildlife.
8. Attend a Fijian tribal ceremony full of song and dance and the requisite tiki torches.

Tips & Warnings

• Bring lots of sunblock and protective clothing to shield you from the strong South Pacific rays.
• Drink the traditional tribal "kava," which tastes like dirt (because it is). Smile, clap your hands three times and pretend you like it.
