Q) What money do their use in Fiji?
The local currency in Fiji is called the Fijian Dollar. Although this varies, you can currently get $1.50 Fijian Dollars with $1 Australian. You can exchange your money whilst still in Australia or at the airport when you arrive in Fiji. If you have an ATM card, some of them work in the ATMs in Fiji and will give you the local Fijian Currency. Almost all Australian ATM cards work if they have “Cirrus” or “Maestro” written on them. The closest ATM is 10 minutes away from the resort so it’s best not to rely on this option. There are ATMs in the large cities on the mainland as well as at the airport.
Q) Are under 18s allowed to drink in Fiji?
In relation to drinking, it is the same limitations apply as in Australia. If you choose to drink as a young adult on Schoolies, responsible use is encouraged. There is a great Schoolies vibe at the Schoolies accommodation that can be enjoyed every evening for all Schoolies regardless of age. Staying at the Schoolies accommodation is a huge advantage for those who are under 18 as it gives you a venue to enjoy and celebrate your Schoolies week. Schoolies are generally aged 16 and 18, those who have been to Fiji in previous years have mentioned that the rules overseas are very laid back, so they chose to drink during Schoolies Week.
Q) How do we make sure we get the Schoolies wristband for Fiji?
When you arrive at the airport, you will be given a VIP Schoolies Fiji colour-coded wristband which you will use to get your meals as well as to access your accommodation. This should be kept on at all times, it also has important contact information on there. This is the only way to access the Schoolies parties and activities since Sure Thing Schoolies is the Official organiser of Schoolies on the mainland of Fiji.
