Fiji is a 3-4 hour flight from the East Coast of Australia and enjoys a sunny, tropical climate year-round. The dry season being ‘Fijian winter’ is from May to October, when the temperature is milder and less humid. This is also high season, and prices can expect to spike especially during school holidays. The wetter season, from November to April, sees an increase in rain and humidity although some it is a great time to take advantage of low fares and escaping to the more remote islands can mean less rain.
