Fiji Port of call
A produce market, museum collections, city heritage.
Choose Suva Municipal Market, Fiji Museum in Thurston Gardens or an exterior heritage visit around Albert Park and Carnegie Library. Fiji Ports identifies Kings Wharf as Suva’s main terminal within a working commercial port: follow your ship’s passenger exit and return instructions. These city plans exclude forest trails, swimming, resort transfers and village programs, which need separate access and connection checks.
