Destinations Visited in Our Fiji Itineraries for 5 Days
Choosing a destination among the 333 islands of Fiji can be pretty overwhelming. So let’s break it down to the main destinations mentioned in the five-day itineraries listed below.
Viti Levu
This is Fiji’s largest island where most travellers arrive in Fiji at Nadi International Airport. Some of the itineraries below visit several destinations around Viti Levu, all connected by road. These destinations include Nadi, Denarau, the Coral Coast, Pacific Harbour, Suva and the Suncoast (Rakiraki).
Mamanuca Islands and Yasawa Islands
These two island groups are the easiest island groups to reach from Nadi. While the tourism scene is well-developed with a diverse range of resorts, the islands themselves are remarkably undeveloped. The island groups hold a mix of volcanic islands and small uninhabited coral islands. Learn more about these destinations in The Complete Guide to the Mamanuca Islands and The Complete Guide to the Yasawa Islands.
Vanua Levu
This is Fiji’s second-largest island, located in the north of the Fiji archipelago, about a 1 hr 25 mins flight from Nadi International Airport. Vanua Levu has two main towns, while the rest of the landscape is made up of small villages, remote resorts, copra and sugar cane plantations, and tropical rainforest. Find out more about the island in The Complete Guide to Vanua Levu.
Taveuni
Off the southeastern shores of Vanua Levu, the island of Taveuni earns its nickname as the “Garden Island” thanks to its pristine nature. Around 80% of the island is made up of the Bouma National Heritage Park, while marine reserves and coral reefs are found off the coast. Find out more in The Complete Guide to Taveuni.
