Suva is a tropical paradise, a place where you never want the day to end. But with sundown comes a whole new experience; Suva at night. When the stars come out, the restaurants get hopping and the clubs get going. The weather is great nearly all the time, and the brisk night air will feel wonderful after a day scuba diving in the sun. The outdoor sports adventures in Suva are fantastic, and this is one of the premier places in the South Pacific to scuba dive and snorkel. Diving in the Beqa lagoon is an experience that you will never forget. The restaurants and myriad shops in Suva are fantastic, and you are given terrific options when it comes to eating out. Many of the stores sell jewelry and handicrafts from all over the South Pacific, and you are sure to find something great to take home to your family and friends. During the day, there are a number of great sights and attractions to keep you busy, and the Fiji Museum in particular is a real standout. It has a tremendous collection of displays, and perhaps the most interesting are the remains of the H.M.S. Bounty that sank in 1789.

Suva is not large per se, but it sure is trying. This bustling city has everything you could want in a modern cultural center, but has managed to keep its heritage alive through its wondrous architecture and the natural beauty of the land. The parks and beaches of Suva are lovely, and basically anywhere you go you will encounter one or the other. Suva encompasses ten square miles and is a hilly area full of life and wonder. The scenery along the coastal sections of the city is beautifully picturesque. In fact, you are sure to catch yourself gazing for minutes at a time, unaware that time is even passing at all.

Until 1870, Suva was a quiet little city no different from any other in Fiji. But when Australian settlers came here to grow cotton and sugar, the area became livelier. However, they failed in their attempts to grow crops, and eventually the British took over. Through the years, Suva has seen influences from many different Asian and European cultures. Today, people from all kinds of backgrounds live in harmony in this glorious portion of Fiji called Suva.
