Overview: Couples’ 5-Day Mamanuca & Yasawa Itinerary
© FijiPocketGuide.comHow to Get Around Fiji in 5 Days
The five-day honeymoon and romance itinerary below involves a little road travel but mostly overwater travel as you island-hop around the Mamanuca and the Yasawa Islands. Here is a quick rundown of how to get around the islands.
Interisland Transport in Fiji
The majority of this 5-day itinerary involves island-hopping in the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands. While the fast catamaran ferries provide a more affordable option to get between islands and Port Denarau, water taxis provide a more private experience that may be appealing for a special occasion like a honeymoon. Check out the 5 Ways to Get to the Mamanuca Islands for more information. To get back from the Yasawa Islands, we recommend a helicopter/seaplane transfer for a special honeymoon experience. Find out more in the 5 Ways to Get to the Yasawa Islands.
Road Transport in Fiji
The first day of this itinerary will require you to take road transport to Denarau Island from Nadi International Airport. This can be done by taxi, private resort transfers and even the bus. Find out more in the 5 Ways to Get to Denarau Island.
For all of your transport options across the islands, not limited to the most appropriate for couples, check out the Fiji Transport Guide: 20 Best Ways to Get Around Fiji.

Travel time: 20 minutes by road, 35-45 minutes by water taxi or catamaran ferry
Welcome to Fiji! Because you only have five days, we recommend getting out of Nadi soon after landing and start making your way to a more romantic setting, the Mamanuca Islands. The Mamanucas is a group of 20-something islands scattered across reef-filled waters. Each island is small, either with an interior of coconut palms or an ancient volcanic peak. Across many of these idyllic islands are resorts to suit all budgets, whether you’re looking for a down-to-earth adventure at a backpacker resort or absolute luxury in an adults-only retreat. Check out your options below for where to spend the next two nights in the Mamanuca Islands.

Dining Recommendations
For an unforgettable dining experience, indulge at your chosen resort tonight. Several top-tier resorts offer unique culinary adventures, such as Tokoriki Island Resort‘s trips to Monu Island for snorkelling and a Champagne picnic, Likuliku Lagoon Resort‘s similar experience on private Mociu Island, and Tadrai Island Resort‘s secluded island picnics. For exceptional on-site dining, try the Fijiana Restaurant at Likuliku Lagoon (where you can order via their in-house app), the Tokoriki Menu at Tokoriki Island Resort, or Tovolea at the Six Senses Resort. For more culinary delights, check out our The Food Guide to the Mamanuca Islands: Places to Eat & Food Resorts.

The Mamanucas make a beautiful setting for romance with its glistening waters, soft sands and balmy ocean breeze. Complimentary activities like stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking or hiking make an intimate way to explore your surroundings – just the two of you. Or how about treating yourselves to a special experience like a secluded beach picnic where your resort will organise transport and a gourmet lunch to take with you? Or, for more active couples, how about strengthening your bond by learning a new skill together, such as scuba diving? PADI Open Water courses take 3-4 days to complete and can be transferred to another PADI dive centre (of which there are many in Fiji) if you don’t finish it during your stay in the Mamanucas.
Romantic Activities in the Mamanuca Islands
- Have a private picnic on a secluded island or beach
- Do a sunset cruise complete with canapes and beverages
- Take a scuba diving course together
- Explore the island on a secluded hiking trail
- Navigate the waters together in a double kayak

Travel time: 1 hr 15 mins-3 hrs 45 mins
This morning, hop back on your water taxi or the South Sea Cruises ferry to your next destination: the remote Yasawa Islands. You’ll notice how the islands are slightly larger with more dramatic scenery here, where resorts and Fijian villages often share the same island, so immersing in the Fijian culture is effortless. Get settled into your Yasawa Islands resort. Again, there’s a real mix of affordable resorts with utterly romantic “honeymoon bures” to luxurious private island resorts.
Accommodation in the Yasawa Islands for Couples
- Navutu Stars Resort

- Turtle Island Fiji
- Nanuya Island Resort
- Barefoot Manta Island Resort

Travel time: 35 minutes
Arrive on the mainland with an intimate helicopter or seaplane flight over the islands you have been exploring the past few days. There’s nothing like seeing the islands and coral reefs decorating the ocean from above – a special experience to share with your loved one. Your flight will bring you straight back to Nadi International Airport, making it simple to catch your flight out of Fiji.
Remember to arrive at Nadi Airport a couple of hours before your scheduled departure so you have enough time to check in, go through security and browse the duty-free. For a full rundown of what to expect, take a look at Leaving Fiji: Departure Tips & Checklist.
And it’s “sota tale” from Fiji and “bula!” to the rest of your lives together!
