Our Selection of the Best Weekend Itineraries for Fiji

Swap a weekend near the airport for road tripping and island-hopping with these 3-day itineraries for Fiji! Whether you’re travelling with little ones, on a quick honeymoon, on a backpacker budget, seeking luxury or something else, you’re bound to find an itinerary to suit your travel style in this list of the best Fiji itineraries for 3 days.

Destinations Visited in Our Fiji Itineraries for 3 Days

Choosing a weekend destination among the 333 islands of Fiji can be pretty overwhelming. So let’s break it down to the main destinations mentioned in the three-day itineraries listed below.

Viti Levu

Viti Levu is Fiji’s largest island where most arrive in Fiji at Nadi International Airport. Some of the itineraries below visit destinations around Viti Levu within a 10-minute to two-hour drive from the airport. These destinations include Nadi, Denarau and the Coral Coast.

Mamanuca Islands and Yasawa Islands

These two island groups are the easiest island groups to reach from Nadi, making them ideal for a weekend trip. The tourism scene is well-developed on the islands with a diverse range of resorts, yet the islands themselves are blissfully undeveloped. The island groups hold a mix of volcanic islands and uninhabited coral islands. Find out more in The Complete Guide to the Mamanuca Islands and The Complete Guide to the Yasawa Islands.
