Fiji Day commemorates two very important dates in Fijian history. The first signifies the events that occurred on October 10, 1874. On this day, Fiji's nominal king and warlord, Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau and fellow Fijian chiefs ceded to Great Britain, and the British took control of the islands as the Colony of Fiji.
The Pacific nation is known as the soft coral capital of the world for a reason! Around 90 per cent of the territory is water and scuba divers and snorkellers have nicknamed Fiji the “soft coral capital of the world” because it encompasses more than 4000 square kilometres of brilliantly coloured reef gardens. Back on land, you’ll find tropical forests growing on inactive volcanoes, the highest being Mount Tomanivi.
