- If you are unable to visit Suva, take a virtual tour and re-live your experiences through the video. Those that have never visited Suva or Fiji, here's something that may give you a feel of the city centre.
Suva was founded in 1849 and became the new capital of Fiji in 1882. It became a city in 1952. Levuka was the old capital of Fiji.
There are many historical facts about the place which could not have been covered in the video as the pace had to be faster to cover the most.
Thanks to my friend Akanisi Vuiyasawa for accompanying me in one of my trips to record the video and highlight the places of interest.

Born and raised in Suva then left in 2015 to Hong Kong. Damn this brings back so many memories. My hometown hadn't changed one bit. Got emotional during the tour as I still remember where everyplace was. Vinaka Vakalevu Fiji, I will always be a Fijian at heart.
Damn the fun in Suva you missed ,it upgraded a bit it changed only a bit
went to fiji as a little kid to see my grandparents i miss suva so much fun city i still miss the little stands where you could buy slices of pineapple for 2 dollars and the many fish & chips resturants around the city dont know if they still have those that was years ago but those where some gold memories.
Me too, Melbourne last 30 years, I remember everything.
Love Fiji from Poland 🇵🇱 ♥ 🇫🇯
I love Fiji and mainly Suva,big love from your friends in Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬
We Fijians also love PNG thanks 🇫🇯❤🇵🇬 and also vist Nadi very beautiful place in Fiji. Most tourists came here in Nadi.
I am from Brazil and I am fascinated on how beautiful is Fiji❤
Great film clip of Suva. I did my intermediate schooling from 1958 to 1960 at Suva Grammar School. My father was in the RNZAF and was posted to Fiji for 2 years. We had a great time and loved Fiji. I own timeshare weeks at Fiji Palms and go back as often as I can. It is my second home. Vinaka Ian
Isa noqu Suva ! Been living abroad since 1982 but i can still remember all those streets, alleys and shops just like yesterday....even the shoe shine boys behind MHs !!
Beautiful country, from the Philippines 🇵🇭🇫🇯
Philippines is also beautiful country and the people 😊 from Australia
Australia is also a beautiful country ☺️ from Spain
@@ramilvalencia1637 Spain is also a beautiful country, from Ethiopia
Saudi arabia is also beautiful too
Saw no motorbikes on the road..well organize city & not crowded.Greetings from Timor Leste
I'd love to visit Fiji, what a beautiful place! Love vrom Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭
You should when you get a chance.
I'm so interesting with Suva (i mean all about Fiji)..it make me so curious with theyr city, people, cultures, and traditions. I hope, one day i can go there (ASAP)
Greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩
Especialy region of Masohi City, Maluku province, Indonesia
@solitary very good morning Sydney Express Australia and tomorrow ok
Our malls aren’t as big as in jarkata, but Suva is way safe than PNG’s capital, Port Moresby. Most students from papua new genie prefer schooling in Fiji is because of how safe it is and the quality of education.If you wanting to stay in a hotel is Suva, Grand Pacific Hotels is your best bet, but the food there isn’t that good. Only the hotels in nadi and the mamanuca islands has the best bargain in terms of food and beaches. That area is the Bali of Fiji.Joji’s Restaurants is an renowned Asian food restaurant. People line up there daily.For pastry food, Hot Bread Kitchen’s coconut roll and their cream bun is an national delight pastry food. Our national dish though is called Lovo cooked food. It’s earth oven cooked food. Try palusami with tin meat served with Taro and pork, it’s going to melt in your mouth.You’ll love it.
Nice tour of the city! It looks like a clean, well-maintained and orderly town. Thanks for posting. All the best! 👍
WOW!! Well done! I left Suva in 1975, went back for 2 months in 1992 and just recently returned for 2 weeks in January 2020.
This video brought back fond memories. Thank you 🙏🏽
Beautiful video. Can’t wait to go and explore Suva and all of Fiji.
Wow what a beautiful place. Wishing to travel there someday. 😍 love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
I am so curious with this country i love it
Love regards from north celebes province of Indonesia ❤❤❤

Wonderful tour of Suva city!! So many great memories of the market place and the bustling city!! Vinaka!
Looks to be in a very sad state. A far cry from its glory days in the 90's.
It's been 20+ years since I've been back. Great video
For me, Fiji is THE BEST country in this whole world... I love Fiji..❤️❤️❤️

I am from Suva and spend many months a year there. This video makes my heart swell with pride to be Fijian. Bula vinaka from Australia.
They only pick the well kept areas for viewing! Saturday morning Market day! Quite a few pick pocketer roaming the streets of Suva! Some areas are badly in need of upkeeps!
I lived on Fiji for most of my life than moved to the USA, Fiji hasn't changed at all it is still the wonderful country I remember
What made you move to The United Snakes?

Suva noqu Suva
It pains me to see the conditions of some buildings and the roads
The economy is spiraling, unemployment rising and Chinese businesses are everywhere
Fiji isn’t the way the world should be anymore
It’s sad to say but unfortunately true
Very well done video! Vinaka from a local. 🙏❤️ Hope you get 100k views soon.
I would like to say I thinks I like❤ the island of fiji special in suva❤so I hope I will visit❤there very soon❤
Fiji Let’s Visit
Fiji island is a copy of Mauritius..Everything is so similar....
I wish one day I could be there..
Love fiji. Nice indian diaspora
looks like average Indonesian cities but the difference is I almost see no motorcyclist there while in Indonesia so many people ride motorcycle beside driving car
Well it's not like Southeast Asia with their motorcycles and tuk-tuks, but still a great place to visit. 😁
I’m going on a holiday to Fiji in September and staying at a resort near Nadi. I’m trying to decide if I should make time to go to Suva
Nadi is on the leeward side of the main island (Viti Levu) and Suva on the windward, so there's a difference in the landscape. It takes close to 4 hours by road to reach Suva from Nadi with some stops on the way. If you do plan to visit Suva, I'd suggest take a road trip as you would get a chance to see the changing land, sea, and culturescapes. On the way, a brief stopover in Sigatoka would be good, particularly at Outrigger Resort which is on the road side and quite elevated to get a good glimpse of the beautiful coral coast. The next town is Navua and the white water rafting on the upper Navua river is well rated. September normally has good weather so hope for a sunny day. A rainy day won't help. You can take a flight back to Nadi from Suva or drive back.
@@islandlife296 is Nadi worth checking out?
@@toddavis8151 I'm assuming you might be driving through Nadi to go to your resort. Just a drive through would give you an idea of the place. Some people visit Denarau which would be 20-30 mins from Nadi. It's made for tourists.
@@islandlife296 im staying at the Hilton doubletree
@@toddavis8151 Ok. You'll be passing through the Nadi town then. Do ask your driver to take you guys through the town and not the back road otherwise you'll miss it. The town road could be busy but it's never as busy as in metropolitans. You might not even feel the traffic. If you have time you can take a trip to Sleeping Giant Zipline. Just google and check if it interests you. It's on the other side from the airport hardly 20-25 mins drive and 45 mins from Double tree. if interested, you can ask your resort to organise a day tour and take you to Denarau in the same trip.
thank you
You should do a recording of the zones and the cokess🤩
May I ask what is the monthly rental expenses for a small room for 1 people at Fiji please?
It varies by location, proximity to city, etc.
Awwww
How far is Samoa from Fiji ??
Hi, i'm flying to fiji soon. Can you do a virtual tour near the nadi airport or within namaka? I just want to familiarize the place
Would have loved to and it's on my list. It's just that I can't do it straightaway as currently occupied with other projects. This may have to wait till May. I'm sorry. I couldn't be of help.
Is there any way i can contact you when I fly to Fiji?
Sure. Email me on islandlifefj@gmail.com
I love Fiji🇫🇯 From Bangladesh🇧🇩

What is best places to see do I need go out city or no and can I use bus
Suva is the capital city with some historical monuments, a museum, park, seafront, etc. There's a river safari some 45 minutes away from Suva in Navua. The Western side of the island, mainly Sigatoka (Coral Coast) and Nadi have been developed as tourist destinations. You'll find a number of activities on that side. Then there are island tours and cruise boats leave from Nadi.
@@islandlife296 I stay nadi is better u think and I want six days is ok and can I find reasonable price tours and isghere bus from nadi to suva for a day
@@islandlife296 I stay nadi is better u think and I want six days is ok and can I find reasonable price tours and isghere bus from nadi to suva for a day
@@edwinbab705 Yes 6 days are good enough. There are daily buses from Nadi to Suva like Pacific buses, Sunbeam. Being a local I never got to use the tours but I can say there are some and you can check about them at the arrivals in Nadi as soon as you come out of the customs. You can also check a number of day activities like Talanoa Treks if you're interested in trekking. Sleeping Giant Zip line, Day cruise to Beachcomber for snorkeling, walk to sand dunes in Sigatoka (it's a 4km walk - time wise it will be bit longer due to walking on the sand). You won't need prior booking for this one. The information is available on internet. national-parks.org/fiji/sigatoka-sand-dunes

@@islandlife296 I find basic hotel near airport is cheapest then I spend my money on tours
Great to see a glimpse of the Suva city. Will be visiting in April. Wondering if it's easy to park around the city center? It is best to park at a shopping mall then go around?
There are parking places available.

Hellow, I have interest in living some of south pacific islands, and Fiji is also one of my list but I haven't been there before. Could you introduce living area in Fiji in your next video, means house or apartment in city and suburb area? Actually I want place of living to near to beach and swimming, sunshine, sea food etc, but I wonder that kind of place is too muck out of convenience. I push thumb up, anyway. Thanks.
If you want to live close to the beach , the best beaches are on smaller Islands . That's the touristy Fiji . Mainland beaches are not as good as the one's on the smaller islands of Fiji .

At 11:05 I see a Buick car. Never saw that when I lived there from 2014-17. My only guess is there is a ton of Chinese that are buying up property in Suva and the ones with money like Buicks in China. So it looks like they started to import some to Fiji. I know none of the locals would ever buy that brand. The Fiji Government has incurred allot of debt from the Chinese government. Mainly after Bani took over he pissed off Australia/New zealand and they cut aid. That was a bad mistake because it opened the door for China to move in. And IMO, that will not be good for Fiji in the long term.
@@wy206 No just that I used to live in the Fiji Islands. Owned a house in lautoka. And its a fact that the chinese are moving into Fiji in droves. I've been going to that island since 1993. And many of the businesses are chinese owned now. They are buying up many hotels, houses etc.. This is especially true in Suva. I'm not delusional fella. Its just a fact. And the Chinese really do like the buick brand. ALLOT. Its the only reason GM did not kill off that line. FACT. A small research will verify this. Also the Fijian government has borrowed allot of money from China. After the last coup new Zealand and Australia broke many financial ties. So Bani started to work out deals with the Chinese. I know allot more about that economy then you probably want to admit to.
Oh and I never said it was a problem did I? I do still feel it was a mistake that Australia and New Zealand turned their backs on Fiji. Because the long term interest for Fiji could be problematic dealing with a communist state.
@@wy206 Do you live in Fiji? Are you a Fijian? Asian Indian? Or maybe a Chinese immigrate? Just curious. Also, I'll admit you have some solid points. Not wishing to argue here. I do want the best for Fiji. And I agree Bani did improve the infrastructure with Asian capital. But they are heavily in debt with China for those improvements. And the pandemic has crushed the economy. I have allot of families there. I know. I'm sending allot of money grams these days just to keep them going. Also wondering how so many Chinese people are getting PR visas in Fiji SO easily. I have means and I have to leave country every three months and return and do that for YEARS to apply for citizenship. I know they have relaxed those immigration rules hugely for the Chinese immigrates. Fiji is a sovereign country and should remain so IMO. I don't want any country dictatating their domestic policy. Especially China.
@@wy206 and that is how you lose land lol. Y'all live in a "make everything modern" craze. I live in canada and I already see what Chinese are doing. They are basically inflate prices wherever they go and they could care less about the locals. They price out the locals and make them rent and profit off it. Just like ports/bridges/buildings are gonna benefit the Chinese not the locals. You know nothing, educate yourself oof
Hiplain1.that is so true. I'm indigenous Fijian living in Australia. Fijian a so easy to fall in a trap like in the old days, make them drunk and offer something small and you can take big things out of it. Now, we can see how bad is Fiji. Employment only pays $3 to $4 an hour and the price of the food is so much higher than what they got. I talked to my family every week and they said life is getting harder. If we take a very good look at Bainimara, wherever he goes in the world he just like wearing a Fijian label or stature or even a car that someone has been using a remote control behind him. The reason why he can't talk much because he is one of the dumbest leaders in the world I've ever seen. The truth is because I never seen any leaders in the world who only finished year 4 at school to run the country. And that predator Kaium or kayak, his the one who fk Fiji and he should go. My people a so soft,and they all big mouth and no action. The only people got pay rise in Fiji is the army and you know why? Because all this army a soft ck and they're all wearing a yellow g..string. Fiji people a desperate to get a job because all this cnts the Chinese when they got there business they fkn brought there own fkn labour with them. And this two cnts Bainimara and Kaium just sit there and do nothing. Australia and New Zealand gave millions of dollars to the people of Fiji and they only receive $100 a family. And now Australia and new Zealand can see where that money goes, they just bought a new aeroplane 4 that money. What a bunch of dumb cnts. Fiji people please, I mean whoever lives in Fiji and call Fiji their home please wake up and do something. Let's hold hands together to get rid of this two predators. We want another coop to take over but not that kind of coop from Rabuka n spate because they supposed to takeover the government but, this two cnts end up killing the people of Fiji. Love all my people live in Fiji and our land. Let's all of us protect our land and please don't let it go to that another predator in China.
what is the language in Fiji?
English, Itaukei (the native language) and Hindi

May I ask how can one immigrate to Fiji please?
you may check the Immigration website- www.immigration.gov.fj/
not easy Your fulfilling this desire to immigrate must be well researched. Visa good for three months.
@@patriciageary2803 May I ask where are the best and most affordable living places please?
@@historyhongkong7521 Well, that depends on the purpose for your going, and your personal requirements. Moved to Fiji in 2007
Bonjour ❤
Why do they drive on the wrong side of the street?
British system. Fiji was a Brit colony.
And who are you?🤣🤣
In Fiji we don’t drive on the wrong side we drive on the right side of the road 😂
Ummmm majority of the world drives on the right side. You must be American.
Can you get me Gutka in Fiji?
