The exploration of Fiji‘s many islands is made convenient and breathtakingly scenic thanks to air travel. Whether you’re looking to hop between islands quickly or simply want to enjoy panoramic views from above, flying is the way to go.  

For those seeking a more luxurious experience, chartering a flight is a fantastic option, as discovering Fiji by air is a truly memorable and picturesque way to witness its stunning landscapes.  

Meanwhile, traversing Fiji by land is a rewarding adventure, offering a glimpse into the heart of this beautiful island nation. With well-maintained highways encircling the two largest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, navigating the nation’s diverse landscapes and vibrant communities is a breeze.  

From the convenience of hotel transfers and private car rentals to the charm of local buses and taxis, there are plenty of options to suit every traveller’s preference and budget. 

After landing at Nadi International Airport (NAN), it’s hard to miss the four-seater yellow taxis lined up outside the arrivals terminal. With fares starting at FJ$7.00, they’re an easy option for short trips to Nadi, Denarau Island, and Lautoka. 

Alternatively, whether you’re seeking the flexibility of a self-drive tour or the ease of guided transportation, Fiji’s roadways promise unforgettable experiences and breathtaking views at every turn. 

Additionally, most hotels can arrange airport transfers. Just drop them an email with your flight arrival details and research their pickup policies in advance. Some are complimentary whilst others charge a small fee. 

Elsewhere, buses are a cheap option for trips to the Suncoast, Lautoka, the Coral Coast, Pacific Harbour, or Suva, the capital of Fiji. These operate on an electronic ticketing system, so you’ll have to buy a disposable card from bus operators. Cards remain valid for 30 days and can be refunded in cash during that time from a Vodafone retail outlet.
