VISIT SUVA FIJI 🇫🇯 Discovering the Hidden Treasures of Fiji's Capital City | 197 Countries, 3 Kids

- Join us as we continue our adventure around the Pacific Island of Fiji. Today we are taking you to Suva, the capital of Fiji and the country’s largest city.
Thanks to our partner Avis Car Rentals (www.avis.com/en/locations/fj), we reached Suva in just over an hour. The drive itself was quite pleasant because of the amazing nature and beautiful scenery along the coast.
Upon arriving, we first headed to the Grand Pacific Hotel, affectionately known as 'The Grand Old Lady' of Suva, The hotel reminded us of a cruise ship with its open-style interior and a massive pool where guests could go to relax and sip on refreshing cocktails.
The next stop on the agenda was Thurston Garden - the national botanical garden of Fiji. Even though the weather was super hot and humid, we had a very nice walk around the garden.
As you probably know, we love visiting local markets and trying fresh produce. So after our walk, we decided to give the biggest market in Suva a try. You guessed it, they had almost every tropical fruit and vegetable possible at very affordable prices.
Once out of the market, we continued our tour around Suva. Even though the town was small and there was not much to see and do, we still enjoyed every minute we spent exploring it.
We grabbed some food, checked out the Sacred Heart Cathedral, and stopped by the Presidential Palace. We also learned a lot about the Fijian communal lifestyle, culture, and history.
BTW, did you know that Fiji was the last cannibal culture in the modern world? Naturally, this tradition ended a long time ago, but the name stuck around for a while, so Fiji was also known as the Cannibal Islands.
Before we left Suva, we made one final stop at the Grand Pacific Hotel for refreshments. Then, as the sun was setting over the ocean, we started on our drive back to the Home Exchange.
Avis Car Rentals made sure we had a comfortable and safe vehicle for the entire duration of our stay in Fiji, so we could discover as much of the island as possible. If you ever visit Fiji, we highly recommend Avis as one of the most reliable car rental companies we’ve worked with. You can find out more about Avis Fiji here 👉www.avis.com/en/locations/fj.
On our way, we stopped for groceries at a massive HyperMart and were surprised by the large variety of Asian foods and goods.
Upon arriving back home, we had a delicious, home-cooked meal waiting for us! This was the first Home Exchange we stayed at with a housekeeper who took care of all our needs around the house and prepared such amazing meals each day.

Hii I am an Indian guy and I wanted to explore India with you if you want to collaborate with me then just reply me 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Lovely couple, congratulations to you guys to travels Suva, Fiji last month in great joy 2022❤❤❤
Welcome to my beautiful Country Fiji 🇫🇯. Don't forget to visit the Yasawa Islands on Blue Lagoon Cruises.
You’ll see in our next video we did a really nice tour around to some of the islands.
Do you speak Hindi..?
Yes 🤣
Clarification... 7:22 is the home of the president of Fiji (used to be the home of the Governor General). Looks like it was a nice day in Suva. It tends to rain a lot on this side of the island. Enjoy the reso of your stay!
Bula, Welcome to Fiji Islands. I hope you ladies have visited the Western side of the Island as well, there are more activities and places to visit.
Nice! Next video we discover Port Denarau and do a catamaran tour which always really nice but we didn’t really go further than that.
Cant believe suva looks like that. Unbelievably modern now...last time I was there over 10+ years ago. So beautiful. Great video!
Thanks! 😊 Oh wow that's a long time ago so much would've changed. 😮
Great to see you people are enjoying you're visit to the beautiful paradise islands of Fiji. Video is very amazing i was with you guy's the whole time.
Aw thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it and felt you were with us!🥰😃
Enjoying your vlogs , when you said Fiji is the last to be Canabils, my wife is from Santa Isabella in the Solomon Islands and that is also their claim to fame, I think you will find through the pacific there is alot of islands with that claim so it's with a grain of sand I feel.
Oh yes possibly. 😆
I don't think we were the last to be cannibals.
Good to see you guys again...lovely Fiji 😊
Yes! We really enjoyed it there.
Fabulous thanks for the tour and info this is another stop on our intinary
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it.

Hello from sunny BC - I thought your family had settled in New Zealand!
We did but we’re also on a mission to visit every country in the world. We’re getting closer each month.
Came to see the innocent one
Did you guys drop a camera at the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park and came back looking for it? Just wondering....
Bro it's my camera
@@ronfj8603 Sorry we didn't find a camera, rather a group of young women (about three or four) came to our office and asked if they could go and look for their camera in which they dropped at one of the pools.
Nope...it wasn't us.
hello girls family .....,guess this time u guys quiet far away . ... ,
somewhere in the Pacific Ocean . ... ?!
We were there a while back. We're actually visiting with family atm in Canada!
7.20 it's not the parliament building, it's close by though
Oops thanks for letting us know. 🤩
I really want to see your reaction to how our movie cinema in Suva at Damodar city
Trust me you will be surprised at the prices compared to the USA
good,baby.come on sri lankan in belihuloya
😍
I worked in Suva late 06 till early 07 at US embassy n datec
Nice! You know all these streets then and probably had coffee at that same hotel we did.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders yep Suva hasn't changed much since I left in 2010. Hotels mostly visited nearby Peninsula, Tanoa Plaza, Southern Cross h Holiday Inn. Grand Pacific Hotel was sold to consortium of PNG investors for development back in late 06 coup de tat by present PM it was fiji military base. Best place in Fiji 🇫🇯 is the western division/ba province.
Iam from suva
Awesome!
Can you make a video to a place called Namaka it's also part of Fiji 🇫🇯
We already left Fiji, but maybe if we come back we could check it out!👍
Thank you
I live in Fiji

What about lunch ?
Bula...once u get to meet the people...u wont wanna leave fiji again
Yeah. We met some really nice Fijian people while we were there and they’re very welcoming.

Go to The st Qarase
Yesterday in news it's been shown that a Sensational Crime happened in Thailand. So learn more about Thailand's present situation
That’s interesting.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Thailand massacre: ex-cop kills 24 children in knife and gun rampage
Several news channel reports and news paper reports have stated about the news. Please learn about the present situation in Thailand and share this news to your country people for safety reasons
These women look like they got all their information about Fiji from Google before boarding the plane for Fiji 😂
Before chap GPT that’s where most people get their info 😂😂We also met some locals where we were staying who gave us some info. 😉
7.21 ...that is not the parliament....but the President Home.
Thanks… we got that one wrong.
Do you realise late queen , Charles and royal families visited grand Pacific alot times
Oh wow no we didn't know this. Thanks for sharing!
I grew up in Suva now down under.god bless @@GrowingUpWithoutBorders
Should i say this, prior Banamorama, Figi, was like South Africa, european top dog, asian second dog, and indiginous third dog. Its now same as our planet buggered up with borders and wealth extraction without future care. However, nice to see your wains growing up, and looking around. Best ever my daughters, coming home, dad the ice cream the best ever we have missed. New Zealand TipTop.
Bula vinaka
Bula!!☺️
That’s the presidents house not the parliament
My bad. I’m sure so many people will correct me on this one. 😳😂😂
Fiji by its name sounds more african but feels like asian vibe
I'm from the Fiji Islands and Yes we are more connected to Asia than Africa .
I been out of jail since September 19th for assault charge I knocked out someone I did 76 days feels good be watching you guys
Oh boy that doesn't sound like fun at all. Glad to see you back again.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders I was in one of the worst jails in Ontario
