Frommer's Review

A vast array of tropical produce is offered for sale at Suva's main supplier of food, the largest and most lively market in Fiji. If they aren't too busy, the merchants will appreciate your interest and answer your questions about the names and uses of the various fruits and vegetables. The market teems on Saturday morning, when it seems the entire population of Suva shows up to shop and select television programs for the weekend's viewing: A telling sight about urban life in the modern South Pacific is that of a Fijian carrying home in one hand a bunch of taro roots tied together with pandanus (palm leaves), and, in the other, a collection of rented videocassettes stuffed into a plastic bag.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
