5-Day Honeymoon Itinerary for Fiji
There’s hardly a better place to start the rest of your lives together than on the idyllic islands of Fiji. Couples looking to spend their honeymoon on Fiji’s smaller islands, this Fiji Honeymoon Itinerary: 5 Days is for you.
This Fiji honeymoon itinerary takes you from the arrival airport in Fiji, Nadi International Airport, across the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands and back. We also include recommendations for romantic experiences and honeymoon accommodation on each island.
Note that this itinerary is for the couple who wants to see several locations within five days. For a more relaxed itinerary with less travelling, see How to Spend 5 Days on a Honeymoon in Fiji.
How to Get Around Fiji in 5 Days
The five-day honeymoon 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.
Overwater Transport in Fiji
The majority of this 5-day itinerary involves getting between Viti Levu (Fiji’s mainland), the Mamanuca Islands and the Yasawa Islands. While the fast catamaran ferries provide a slightly more affordable option to get between islands and Port Denarau on Viti Levu, water taxis provide a more private experience that’s a great way to celebrate your honeymoon. Check out 5 Ways to Get to the Mamanuca Islands for more details as well as alternative transport. For getting back from the Yasawa Islands to Viti Levu, we recommend a helicopter/seaplane transfer for a real honeymoon treat. Find out more in 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 Port Denarau from Nadi International Airport. This can be done via taxi, private transfer and even the bus. Find out more information in 5 Ways to Get to Denarau Island.

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 adult-only retreat. Check out your options below for where to spend the next two nights in the Mamanuca Islands.

Today, you have the time to do as much or as little as you want. Complimentary activities like stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking or hiking are a personal way to explore your surroundings – just the two of you. Or how about treating yourselves to a special experience like a secluded beach picnic? Your resort will organise transport to either a private island or deserted beach along with a gourmet lunch. If you’re both feeling more active, how about strengthening your bond by learning a new skill together? Learn to scuba dive over the next 3-4 days with a PADI Open Water course. The course can be transferred to another PADI dive centre (of which there are many in the Yasawa Islands where you’re heading next). Find more ideas in the list below and in The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to the Yasawa Islands.
Romantic Activities in the Mamanuca Islands
- Have a picnic on a private island or beach
- Do a sunset cruise with canapes and beverages
- Challenge yourselves to a scuba diving course
- Explore your chosen island on a secluded hiking trail
- Navigate the waters in a double kayak
