Destinations > Fiji
We are not going to lie, Fiji is not known to be the most accessible place in the world. Ramps, lifts, and accessible toilets are not common, public transport do no have wheelchair access and pavements have high curbs. However, Fijian people will do absolutely everything they can to help whenever needed. Their can-do attitude and friendly behaviour will definitely make up for the lack of accessibility. We also feel like no trip is impossible with the right information and the right help. Our partners have the local knowledge to make an accessible trip to Fiji possible, and a very memorable experience! Leisure and cultural experiences as well as guided tours, all wheelchair friendly, will give you a chance to discover the islands’ history, nature and culture.
