Top Wildlife Sightings in Fiji
Fiji’s outer reefs experience strong currents, which bring in nutrient-rich water that attracts incredibly diverse marine life. Home to 1200 fish species, over 390 coral species and five turtle species, Fiji’s underwater world is oozing with prolific life, from macro critters and colorful fish, to pelagics, like sharks, barracuda, mantas and even the big boys, such as whale sharks and even seasonal humpback whales and cheeky dolphins.
Fiji’s sharks attract divers from all over the world, and it’s easy to see why, with species including white tips, grey reef, silvertips, lemon, tiger, bull sharks, and of course the much-loved whale shark. Hammerheads are sometimes seen in some areas.
Turtles are also a highlight, with common sightings including green, hawksbill, pacific ridley, loggerhead and leatherback turtles.
Fiji’s incredible reefs, where soft and hard corals of all colors and sizes thrive, house a wealth of immensely vibrant tropical fish. Think of everything you’d encounter on a tropical reef, from clown fish, snapper, sea snakes and eels, to stingrays, schooling fish and even swordfish. Being among the most biodiverse places on Earth, Fiji truly has it all.
