I went to Fiji and Tuvalu for a few weeks in 2012 or so. All up, it was a decent trip and Lonely Planet provided that extra help required to ensure I didn’t turn up on a remote island to find all accommodation booked out (or whatever similar travel nightmares you get). I’d like to say that I took “Lonely Planet’s Fiji” advice and did a lot of exciting activities but my time in Fiji was spent drinking alcohol while sitting on the beach. I did drink some Kava which is still illegal in Australia, although I don’t know why; it tasted awful and certainly didn’t make me feel any better. ( )

A very in-depth tourist guide to the pacific island of Fiji, plenty of facts and advice for travelers, the Lonely Planet tourist guides are excellent and well worth reading before you travel, and placing in your luggage when you do travel. These past 10 years I have never traveled without a Lonely planets guides. This book contain excellent levels of information, the books internal structure is set out in a simple style so that the user can easily and quickly find the segment of information that they seek. Lonely planet travel guides are great. ( )
