From Pacific Harbour you can surf at Yanuca Island / Frigates Passage, hike through the rainforest or soar over the rainforest canopy by zipline.

Pacific Harbour has a variety of cafes and restaurants to dine at plus an Arts Centre for shoppers or you can visit the markets in Suva.

When to Travel to Pacific Harbour

Diving is conducted year round in Pacific Harbour. Like all of Fiji, the climate is tropical and warm year round. There are two distinct seasons for diving. The summer months of November – April bring water temperatures in the range of 27°C - 30°C and more rain which can reduce visibility a little. The winter months of May – October bring slightly cooler water temperature in the range of 24°C - 27°C.

The Shark Dives are also conducted year round and most species of sharks to be seen are present year round. During the months of November and December the Bull Sharks are seen less at the Shark Marine Parks as is it their mating season. June to August usually present the most Tiger Shark sightings.
