Destination: Fiji Islands

Small creatures such as the rare Blue Ribbon Eel are a common sight on Fiji reefs

South Pacific paradise seems a fitting description for an island chain whose above-water attractions include lush tropical waterfalls and below-water sites feature fantastic soft coral gardens. But that's not all.

The fish life around these coral atolls and barrier reefs includes some of the most amazing tropical species as well as sharks and pelagic animals such as tunas and mantas. Even the small creatures, such as the rare Blue Ribbon Eel are common sight on Fiji reefs.
