10 drone shots from the islands of Fiji

Located in the heart of the South Pacific, the island nation of Fiji lies between Hawaii and New Zealand.

Fiji boasts some of the most breathtaking beaches and mesmerising coastal landscapes in the world, making it a haven for beach lovers, sun seekers, and drone photographers. The islands are blessed with a diverse range of shorelines, from secluded coves tucked away between rugged cliffs to expansive stretches of golden sand that seem to stretch endlessly. With incredibly clear aqua water reminiscent of the Caribbean, Fiji is the perfect island destination to explore via drone!

One of Fiji’s hidden gems is the Northern Lau Group of islands which we visited on a 7-night cruise with Captain Cook Cruises Fiji. These remote islands offer untouched beauty and a sense of seclusion, with pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkelling and diving. The Northern Lau Group is an ideal spot for capturing stunning drone footage, showcasing its unique blend of rugged landscapes and serene shorelines.
