How to Get Around Fiji in 3 Days
The three-day honeymoon itinerary below involves minimal road travel but mostly overwater travel as you island-hop from Viti Levu (Fiji’s main island) to the Mamanuca Islands and back. Here is a quick rundown of how to get around the islands of Fiji.
Overwater Transport in Fiji
For getting between Viti Levu and the Mamanuca Islands, fast catamaran ferries have scheduled departures from Port Denarau. Alternatively, water taxis provide a more private experience that can adapt to your schedule – ideal for a honeymoon on limited time. For getting back from the Mamanuca Islands, we recommend a helicopter/seaplane transfer for a real honeymoon treat. Check out 5 Ways to Get to the Mamanuca Islands for more details, plus alternative transport methods.
Road Transport in Fiji
The first day of this itinerary will require you to take road transport to Port Denarau from Nadi International Airport. This can be done via taxi, private transfer or even the bus. Many of the catamaran and water taxis companies also offer airport transfers, so keep that in mind. Find out more in 5 Ways to Get to Denarau Island.

Travel time: 20 minutes by road, 35-45 minutes by water taxi or catamaran ferry
Welcome to Fiji! Because you only have three days, we recommend getting out of Nadi soon after landing and start making your way to a more romantic setting, the Mamanucas. The Mamanuca Islands are a group of 20-something islands scattered across azure waters. Each island is small, either with an interior of coconut palms or a volcanic peak. Across many of these paradise islands are resorts to suit all styles and budgets, whether you’re looking for a down-to-earth backpacker resort or absolute luxury in an adult-only retreat – check out our recommendations below. So after your scenic catamaran or water taxi transfer from Port Denarau, check into your island resort and starting feeling the romance of these paradise islands.
