Nadi and Denarau Helicopter Tours

As most travellers arrive in Fiji at the Nadi International Airport, the airport is a convenient place to start your helicopter flight in Fiji. First of all, all of Nadi‘s helicopter operators have a base at Nadi Airport and do transfers to island resorts. Second, many scenic helicopter tours also depart from Nadi, including accommodation pick-up.

Nearby, Denarau Island is Fiji’s most popular tourist destination and, as a result, the most popular place to catch a helicopter tour over the Fijian islands. With that, there are several operators with flights departing from Denarau for scenic flights over the Mamanuca Islands, as well as over the rugged interior of Viti Levu.

Denarau Helicopter Flights Over Denarau Island

One of your most affordable flights in Denarau is short flights over Denarau Island. Flights last approximately 7-10 minutes – but don’t let that put you off. You’ll be surprised how much you will see from the sky.
