This Fiji itinerary provides a balance of seeing two different island groups and Fiji’s mainland while giving you time in each location to relax. (Well, R&R is what an adult-only getaway is about, anyway). That’s not to say that we haven’t included a few exciting adventures that you just wouldn’t always be able to do with kids, like scuba diving, surfing the big breaks, skydiving and more! We’ll go through some of Fiji’s amazing adult-only experiences, as well as offer recommendations for adult-only resorts to stay in along the way.

How to Get Around Fiji in 7 Days

The 7-day itinerary below involves both road and overwater travel. Here is a quick rundown of how to get around Fiji on an adult-only getaway.

Road Transport in Fiji

You wanted an island-hopping itinerary? Don’t worry; this 7-day itinerary has minimal road travel with only resort transfers between Denarau and Nadi International Airport. While we recommend arranging a private transfer with those we list in the 15 Best Airport Transfers in Fiji, see more options in the 5 Ways to Get to Denarau Island.

Interisland Transport in Fiji

This is what island-hopping is all about! This itinerary incorporates transport by fast catamaran ferries, but a more appropriate option for keeping your trip exclusively “adults only” could be taking a water taxi between Denarau and the Mamanuca Islands. See the 5 Ways to Get to the Mamanuca Islands for more information. To get back from the Yasawa Islands, we recommend treating yourself to a seaplane or helicopter experience, which is ideal for an intimate adults-only holiday. See the 5 Ways to Get to the Yasawa Islands for more details and alternatives.

Aside from that, Denarau Island has no lack of spas, gyms, and yoga classes to enjoy while free of youngsters. Or, if you’re feeling more adventurous, how about something crazy like skydiving?!
