FIJI on a BUDGET? Ep.1 With Prices! 💰

- Bula and welcome to Fiji! So Fiji is often known for beautiful islands, resorts and all inclusive accommodation in luxury - but we often wondered, can you travel Fiji on a budget? So here we are in this new series trying! → Queenstown Travel Guide: geni.us/queenstownguide ⬇ 🇫🇯 See below for Fiji recommendations ⬇
Welcome to Fiji and a brand new, 5-part, travel vlog series about travel in Fiji on a budget! This is vlog 1 of 5, but you can watch the whole series here: • Fiji Travel Vlogs 🇫🇯
When you think about Fiji you probably instantly think about stunning beaches, friendly local people, snorkeling in paradise, local traditions, kicking back to relax at a luxury resort and BIG price tags. It’s always felt like there was one way to do Fiji and one way only... but we always wondered, can you travel Fiji on a budget?
In this first vlog we land in Nadi airport and take a different approach to both accommodation and transport. Rather than just go straight to a resort close by, we've booked a crazy cheap place down on the Coral Coast, but decided to get a rental car from Coastal Rentals to allow us to drive around and explore ourselves.
A quick stop to compare some local prices at the supermarket, a so-so recommendation for food and coffee, then on to Beach House to stay on the beach on a budget! Check the prices here: geni.us/N8gJlIO
Then we took a coffee tour at Bula Coffee and scoped out the Maui Jetty for those classic Fiji views. So far, we gotta say, it really does feel like you CAN travel Fiji on a budget... but we've got some curve balls coming up, so subscribe and follow along to find out.

#Fiji #FijiOnABudget
We appreciate what you do.
The virtual escapes from your videos will become reality for me one day.
We appreciate that! Hope you get there one day
A return trip for us coming very soon. Your video gets us excited about it. Great stuff guys. Hope married life agrees with you. Sending much love from where we are now (Porto, Portugal)
❤❤ Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Thanks Guys - I have done many of the cheap outcomes in Fiji, and Mamanuca and Denerau etc.
Frankly the bottom to even the top middle isn't much different in Fiji,
But the very best then is not really FIji. I think you simply chose what you want for a holiday, but a cheap island like Plantation or going down near Sigatoka means you get a great holiday and the local markets too with the Coral Coast.
Really enjoying this set of vlogs. Thanks
Great vid as always. Tours like the coffee tour you did are a great way to meet some locals and see some local life/locations. Even if it's not something you are that interested in, they are almost always a great experience.
You two always make me smile and laugh so much, thank you 💛 Loved watching this video, it does look like paradise. Looking forward to the next one
This feels like Bali but without people 🤣 And kinda feels expensive'ish compared t what I thought of Fiji. Interesting
Most of the pacific islands are like this, and they are all quite pricey but that's because they're all a small drop in the ocean so the cost to import things is high.
This hit like your old travel videos in Asia from back in the day - loved it
That’s cool to hear! Love that
Bula!!! So good, I'm glad you guys got to Maui jetty such a beautiful place 😍
It really is! Felt like a luxury resort haha
The editing on your videos keeps getting better and better! Loving it! Any plans to do another trip to Cook Islands?
Definitely!! We’re hoping to get back in a few months to see how things are in 2024
Your budget travel is spot on. Would love to see more!
More to come!
I just love your guys videos so much!! ☺
Yay! Thank you
Loved the video guys! Gave a whole new perspective on Fiji.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for leaving a comment too
Love Fiji! Thanks guys! 💖
Our pleasure!
How cool! the coffee tour was by far the fav part of the video hehe (a bit of a coffee geek here!) :) Great one guys!
Glad you enjoyed it too! Such a great hobby to get into, I’m deeeeeep down the espresso rabbit hole 😂
I have grown arabica coffee on Auckland's North Shore. Got to 25 cherries, enough for a 50 bean cup, then a gusty storm blew my tree over. Frost sensitive so needs to be covered overnight in the winter below 4-5°C. Currently growing another tree which I will stake & protect so I can look forward to roasting my own green coffee beans in another five to ten years 🤞.
interesting video
Thanks for sharing guys. Brilliant as always. What time of year were you there?
This was literally a week or so ago!
Interesting how the coffee on the wooden tray outside almost looked like peanuts rather than coffee beans.
True! Just goes to show how many stages of coffee there are that we don’t ever think about
Looking forward to the next ones as well. Was looking at hawaii originally but that is way more expensive then fuji so be interesting to see where u go in the next one.
Coming soon! We’ve got 3 more and then a vid eventually on all our costs
So beautiful
Totally!
Bula Vinaka 🌸🏝🇫🇯
Bula!
Great information thanks …. Shame about YT throwing adds in the middle of you talking !
Fiji has a growing middle class and you'll be surprised by the standards and size of supermarkets in Suva (Extra Supermarket, IGA New World, Fresh Choice, Cost U Less to name a few.) The first supermarket you went to, True Mart, is still relatively new in Fiji and isn't at all targeting tourists. Their biggest outlet is in Navua about 20 minutes west of Suva. "Tourist prices" in supermarkets only exist on Denarau and other resorts.
Middle class driven by what industry?
@@mierypesado6740 Driven by higher education, SMEs, pay rises, policy change and good paying jobs. Only 1/10 Fijians work in the tourism industry. And the place least visited by tourists, the capital city Suva, is the most developed city in the Pacific (also has the tallest building in the Pacific as well - WG Friendship Plaza).
@@wy206 It wasn't a gotcha question (I don't even know what the 'gotcha' would be in this case), I was genuinely curious about the Fijian economy given I've never been there and know next to nothing about it, and you seemed to be educated in the matter so I thought I'd ask.
I won't make the mistake of engaging with you again, ciao
@@mierypesado6740 You do you lil bro lmao.
Lol wash car
