The larger islands of the Fiji group of islands are the results of the volcanic activities of the past.
The solidification of the molten lava and rocks erupting from the volcanoes is responsible for the formation of the islands. The mountainous relief still bears many dormant volcanoes that prove the activities of the past.
The smaller of the Fiji Islands are made of coral reefs. Thus human inhabitation is impossible on most of them. They however are home to a large number of sea creatures who have taken shelter in and around the reefs.
Fiji Islands offer tourists with a wide range of interesting descriptions. The mountainous relief is perfect for trekking and hiking. The rain forests of Viti Levu offer an opportunity to witness the amazing flora and fauna of the place. The palm fringed beaches offer a time to relax and enjoy life. Diving, surfing, snorkeling, etc are the favorite activities that tourists indulge in.
