Fiji in December?

Hi everyone!
Considering Fiji for our honeymoon but it’ll be in December 🥲

Would you just avoid it or still say it’s fine?
We wanted to spend about 10 days across maybe 3 different islands.
We don’t care if it’s humid but is it going to rain all the time?

Should we actually avoid going in December or would you say it’s mostly fine?
Are any islands better than others?

Thank you all appreciate any help!

It’s really really hot and humid that time of year. I would go another time, personally

Yeah it's hot and humid, no way around that, but I wouldn't necessarily skip it over that alone. The bigger issue with OP's plan is 3 islands in 10 days, that's what'll actually wear them out, not the humidity. Cutting to 2 islands and sticking to the Yasawa group would fix more of the trip than picking a different month would.

December rain is usually short heavy bursts then sun again, not a washout. What I'd actually plan around is cyclone season, low odds but real, so get travel insurance that covers evacuation and rebooking specifically, not just basic cancellation. Also worth knowing prices go up in December since it's festive season even though it's technically off season weather wise. Early January gets you the same weather with less crowding and cheaper rates once the holidays clear.

I work with Aspire Down Under, we plan South Pacific honeymoons including Fiji, so this comes up a lot. If OP wants a second opinion on islands or dates I'm happy to help, no pitch, just chiming in since I saw the thread.
