Travel essentials for Fiji
Adapters, plugs, tap water, tipping and health basics.
Power & adapters
No adapter needed
Fiji uses the same Type I plug and 240V supply as Australia. No adapter needed. Some older resorts have limited power points, so a small powerboard is handy.
240V, 50Hz
Tap water
Safe to drink
Tap water is treated and safe in Nadi, Denarau and Suva. On outer islands and in villages, stick to bottled or boiled water.
Staying connected
Good on Viti Levu and the main resort islands, limited on remote outer islands.
Vodafone Fiji and Digicel both support eSIM. Resort wi-fi is often slow and sometimes charged — a local eSIM is usually cheaper and faster.

Tipping and everyday costs
Not traditionally expected. Many resorts run a staff Christmas fund box instead of individual tipping, which is the customary way to give.
