Mark Twain called it “the wonder of the world”. James Michener wrote, “It is a thing of beauty, a fairy-tale body of water”. With an area that sprawls 670 square miles, Sydney is one of the largest cities in the world. But it's the exquisite Sydney Harbour that draws world-wide acclaim – that, along with its magnificent Opera House. And with nearly three days, you'll have plenty of time to go exploring.

Day 9 - Lautoka

Arrive: Tue 31 December 2024 / Depart: Tue 31 December 2024

Perched on the west coast, Lautoka, is not only the second largest city among Fiji's 332 islands, it is also the second gateway, after the capital city Suva, to Fiji's experience of tropical paradise. Idyllic beaches lead to the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon that forms a circle around the land. In itself, this is a blissful scene to behold, framed with lush terrain.

Day 10 - Suva

Arrive: Wed 01 January 2025 / Depart: Wed 01 January 2025

Try the ceremonial drink yaqona or kava, made from the root of the pepper tree. You'll find it everywhere, including Suva's must-see market, piled high with tropical fruits, exotic vegetables, freshly caught fish and – reflecting Fiji's rich cultural flavour – brightly coloured Indian sweets.
