Add FJ$20 to 60 (US$9 to 27) per visit for entry, a taxi and snacks, and FJ$50 to 100 (US$22 to 45) if you hire a local guide. Mid-range trips with private rooms and ferries typically run US$80 to 130 a day.Safety and etiquette: Ask before you take photos, especially during church services and kava ceremonies, and remove hats and sunglasses in a village. Cover your shoulders and knees, and avoid touching anyone’s head. Watch your valuables in city crowds, and avoid walking alone at night in Suva or Nadi. Boats cancel in bad weather, so buy flexible tickets where you can. Alcohol rules vary by village, so ask your host before you bring any.
