How many to visit: I would advise
6 to 8 attractions over a two-week trip. Fiji’s distances are short on paper, but boats, buses and heat eat hours, and more than one stop a day leaves little time to enjoy anything. That number gives you room for a rain day.
Which kinds to prioritize: If money is tight, choose
village and nature visits over resort day trips. They cost less and give you more contact with local life, while island-hopping gives the most time on the water for the money if you buy a pass. If you love diving, spend the splurge on a few dives, usually US$90 to 140 for a two-tank trip (FJ$200 to 320), and go light elsewhere. Resort day cruises are the priciest in time and money, often FJ$150 to 250, so only do one if the weather is clear.

Guides are usually FJ$20 to 60, and local buses cost FJ$2 to 10 per trip. The yearly average for a Yasawa pass is a bigger single spend, but it covers many hops. Carry small cash, since card machines are rare outside towns.Safety and culture: Bring a sevusevu of kava roots, around FJ$30 to 50, when visiting a village, and wear a sarong or covered shoulders and knees. Remove hats and sunglasses in the village, and do not touch heads. Reef cuts infect fast, so wear reef-safe sunscreen and shoes. Take care with swim currents, and check tides before any river or reef activity. Keep valuables out of sight in Nadi and Suva after dark, and use licensed taxis.
