How to Get a Free Airport Transfer

Before you delve into researching how to save money on airport transfers, know that some resorts offer airport transfers for free!

Many resorts and hotels, specifically in Nadi, Wailoaloa Beach and Vuda, offer complimentary transfers to and from the airport. This service is not always well advertised, so before you book your airport transfer, be sure to ask your chosen resort or hotel whether they offer complimentary airport transfers.

Sunbeam also runs a service between Nadi and Suva via the Kings Road, stopping by Suncoast resorts along the way. Prices range from FJ$2 to $26 per adult, with transfers to Nadi being the cheapest and transfers to Suva being the most expensive.

Public Buses

Price: FJ$2-$5

Frequent public buses run between Nadi and Nadi International Airport. They are extremely affordable, costing barely over FJ$2 for a short trip.
