© FijiPocketGuide.comHow to Get Around Fiji in 3 Days
The 3-day itinerary below involves a bit of land travel but mostly overwater travel. Here is a quick rundown of how to get around Fiji on a 3-day adults-only holiday.
Road Transport in Fiji
This 3-day island-hopping itinerary includes a road transfer between Nadi International Airport and Port Denarau. While transfers are often included in your catamaran/water taxi fare, there are more ways to get to Port Denarau – see the 5 Ways to Get to Denarau Island.
Interisland Transport in Fiji
This 3-day itinerary incorporates transport by catamaran ferry from Port Denarau. However, a more appropriate option for keeping your trip exclusively “adults only” could be taking a water taxi between the islands. See the 5 Ways to Get to the Mamanuca Islands for more details. For returning from the Yasawa Islands, we recommend in this itinerary to treat yourself to a helicopter or seaplane experience, ideal for an intimate adults-only holiday. See the 5 Ways to Get to the Yasawa Islands for more information and alternatives.
