By far your cheapest option to get just about anywhere in Fiji is taking the bus. There are two types of buses in Fiji: air-conditioned express buses, which run between Nadi and Suva, and public open-windowed buses, which do shorter trips around the local area.
Express buses pick-up passengers outside of the International Terminal entrance, while public buses stop at a bus stop along the Queens Road, just outside of the Nadi Airport driveway entrance (that’s about a 200 m (219 yards) walk from the Arrivals Hall).
Express Buses
Price: FJ$5-$28
Express buses run on a schedule from Nadi International Airport to Suva via the Queens Road. This route includes stops at resorts along the Coral Coast and the Pacific Harbour.
Express bus companies offering the Queens Road service include Sunbeam and Pacific Transport. Sunbeam also runs a service between Lautoka and Suva via the Kings Road, stopping by Suncoast resorts along the way – you’ll just need to get a taxi or one of the public buses to Lautoka first.
Prices range from FJ$5 to $28 per adult, with transfers to Nadi being the cheapest and transfers to Suva being the most expensive.
Learn more about express buses in How to Travel Around Fiji by Bus.
Public Buses
Price: FJ$2-$8
Frequent public buses run between Nadi, Lautoka and Nadi International Airport. They are extremely affordable, costing barely over FJ$2 for a short trip.
From Nadi Town, there are further buses to Denarau (the yellow Westbus), Vuda, Lautoka and beyond. Note that you need to purchase a eTransport Card with credit when you get on the bus, starting from FJ$2 and cannot get unused credit unless you visit a eTransport agent.

Taxis only use a metre within Nadi. The flagfall is around FJ$7.10, and FJ$0.10 per 100 m travelled.
For trips outside of Nadi, it’s best to agree on a price first but these prices may be more expensive than tour and transfer companies (see section below). Here is a list of the typical prices between Nadi Airport and top destinations around Nadi:
