How to Get to Fiji

What is the best way to get to Fiji? Fiji can be accessed by flight, cruise ship or private sailing yachts. The most popular way to get to Fiji is by international flight, so let’s start with that.

Flying to Fiji

Direct international flights come from Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Nauru, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Wallis & Futuna, the US, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore.

If you are coming from further afield, then you will need to make a connecting flight most likely in Australia, New Zealand, or the US. See Which Airlines Fly Directly to Fiji? for more information.

Although Fiji has two international airports, around 97% of visitors to Fiji come via Nadi International Airport on the island of Viti Levu (Fiji’s main island). Learn more in our guide, Which Airport to Arrive in Fiji.

Cruises to Fiji

Fiji is on the itinerary of several South Pacific cruises from Australia, New Zealand and French Polynesia. There are five ports of call in Fiji, the main ones being Suva, Lautoka and Port Denarau. Cruises occasionally stop at Dravuni Island and Savusavu.

Find out which cruise companies have Fiji on their itinerary in the 10 Best Cruises That Visit Fiji, as well as what to do at each port of call in The Guide to Taking a Cruise to Fiji.

Sailing to Fiji

Fiji is conveniently located at the centre of the Transpacific journey between the US and New Zealand. The yachting season is between May and October. Learn about the sailing formalities and the ports of entry in The Sailing Guide to Fiji.

A Note on Customs Declarations

Fiji has strict biosecurity measures at the border to stop unwanted pests and diseases from entering the country. Therefore, anyone arriving in Fiji has to declare any “risk items” they have packed in their luggage – even common items like food and sports gear.

Be sure to read up on Everything You Need to Know About Arriving in Fiji so you are prepared.

Check out our complete guide on How to Get to Fiji for even more tips on making your way to the islands of Fiji.

When to Visit

Fiji is a tropical country and experiences warm temperatures throughout the year. It has two distinct seasons: a dry season, which is drier and cooler, and a wet season, which is hotter and humid. Learn more about the climate in What is the Weather Like in Fiji?

Dry Season (May to November)

The dry season is also known as the winter season in Fiji, although many would not describe it as winter, with temperatures around 19-29 °C (66-84°F). The rainfall per month is an average of 70-150 mm (2.8-6 in).

The dry season is also the time for swimming with manta rays, surfing big waves, clearer scuba diving conditions and catching sailfish, skipjack tuna and wahoo. On the downside, the winter school holidays for Australia and New Zealand (July) are when flights and accommodations are at their most expensive in Fiji.

Wet Season (December to April)

The wet season is hotter and more humid, with temperatures around 22-33°C (72-91°F) and an average monthly rainfall of 180-310 mm (7.1-12.2 in). This is also Fiji’s cyclone season, which means there’s a risk of cyclones (but only a risk, which you can learn more about in How to Prepare for a Cyclone in Fiji).

The wet season is also the best time to catch marlin, yellowfin tuna, and mahimahi, as well as avoid other tourists. Visiting Fiji during the summer school holidays for New Zealand and Australia is when you will find cheaper flights for families, as long as you avoid Christmas and New Year.

Still can’t decide when the best time is to travel to Fiji? Check out our comprehensive guide, “The Best Time to Visit Fiji,” which talks about more on the subject.

Family Packing List for Fiji

The main thing you need to keep in mind when packing for Fiji is having a tropical wardrobe that includes some more modest items of clothing for visiting Fijian villages. A packing list for Fiji might look a little something like this:

And that’s just clothes! For a full packing list of everything to take, including accessories and toiletries, check out The Complete Packing List for Fiji. 

Plus, we have more useful packing recommendations in our 35 Essential Tips for Travelling to Fiji With Children.

Health Products

With high UV levels and the presence of mosquitos, certain health products are essential to take to Fiji. Fiji also has a fragile marine ecosystem, and kids have sensitive skin, so reef-safe sunscreens and repellents are a must.

If going to the outer islands, a reusable water purification bottle is preferable to buying bottled water for obvious environmental reasons.

See our health essentials packing list in What Medication to Pack in Your First Aid Kit for Fiji. Plus, find more health tips in the 10 Health & Safety Tips for Travelling in Fiji with Kids.

Fiji Currency

The currency in Fiji is Fijian Dollars. While credit/debit cards are accepted in major resorts and businesses in Fiji’s towns, you should have cash available for taxis and visiting villages. Get more money tips in What is the Best Way to Pay in Fiji?

Travel Documents and Paperwork

Visitors from around 100+ countries do not need a visa to visit Fiji but do need a passport that is valid for no less than six months after your intended date of departure – see visa-exempt countries in our Fiji Tourist Visa Guide.

There may be other current entry requirements, which we keep updated in What Documents Do I Need to Travel to Fiji? More info can also be found on the Fiji Tourism Travel Advisory page.

How Long to Spend in Fiji

Admittedly, Fiji makes an idyllic getaway for just staying in the same resort for a few days to a week – and that’s fine; we all need some R&R from time to time. More intrepid families, however, will find that Fiji is an excellent country not only for island-hopping but road tripping around Viti Levu.

We’d recommend the minimum number of days to spend in Fiji is five days if just visiting Viti Levu, the Mamanuca Islands or the Yasawa Islands. However, 10 to 14+ days is the recommended number of days for a satisfying trip to Fiji, especially if you include some island-hopping, such as visiting Vanua Levu and Taveuni.

For those of you who want to explore, here’s what you can achieve in certain timeframes… (And don’t worry, we’ll get onto the destinations in the next few sections).

3 Days / A Long Weekend in Fiji

Over a long weekend, you will have enough time to explore Nadi, Denarau and the Coral Coast or perhaps take a quick trip to the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands. See an example itinerary in Fiji Family Itinerary: 3 Days / Weekend.

5 Days in Fiji

Five days is enough time for a quick island-hopping itinerary in the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands or check out Fiji’s landscape of resorts and adventure activities along the Coral Coast and Pacific Harbour. Alternatively, those with more budget could take a charter flight to and between Vanua Levu and Taveuni.

Check out Fiji Family Itinerary: 5 Days (+3 More Holiday Ideas) for inspiration.

7 Days / 1 Week in Fiji

A week in Fiji gives you time to relax in any one of the island groups, but for those who want to move around, you could take a road trip around Viti Levu or do some island-hopping in the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands.

Alternatively, you could explore between the two less-visited islands, Vanua Levu and Taveuni. See Fiji Family Itinerary: 7 Days / 1 Week for a trip idea.

14 Days / 2 Weeks in Fiji

14 days allows you to extend itineraries suggested for a week. It will also give you time to explore a mix of Viti Levu and the Mamanuca/Yasawa Islands or Viti Levu, Vanua Levu and Taveuni, or a week in Kadavu and a week in Viti Levu…

Check out more suggestions in the Fiji Family Itinerary: 14 Days / 2 Weeks.

How Long Can You Stay in Fiji?

Visitors to Fiji can stay up to four months! Visitor extensions are available, however, which you can learn more about in our guide, How Long Can You Stay in Fiji on a Visitor Visa?

Where to Visit: Viti Levu

Fiji’s largest island, Viti Levu, is the arrival island for most travelling to Fiji. It’s also a fabulous destination in itself, offering several exciting regions for families to enjoy a resort holiday or explore.

The benefit of staying on Viti Levu is that it eliminates the cost and time associated with transporting your tribe to another island, as many families will find that Viti Levu has all you dreamed of for a family getaway to Fiji and then some.

Where to Go on Viti Levu?

Want a Fijian destination that’s easy to get to, has an array of amazing family-friendly resorts, as well as a mix of adventure, culture and island excursion tours?

Choose either to stay in Nadi, Denarau or the Coral Coast. Find out more about these regions in the following guides:

• The Guide to Nadi for Families
• The Guide to Denarau Island for Families
• The Guide to the Coral Coast for Families

For families looking to get more off the beaten track, do some independent exploration, and enjoy some river adventure tours, look into regions like the Pacific Harbour & Beqa, the Suncoast and the nation’s capital, Suva. See the following guides to learn more:

• The Guide to the Pacific Harbour & Beqa for Families
• The Guide to the Suncoast for Families
• The Guide to Suva for Families.

Where to Visit: Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands

A scattering of sandy-lined islands surrounded by turquoise waters, just like you’ve seen in the brochures, make up the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands.

Stretching in a rough line from the northwestern shores of Viti Levu, these island groups are some of the easiest outer islands to get to from Nadi International Airport. A ferry ride or helicopter flight from Port Denarau will get you to the islands in no time.

Mamanuca Islands

The Mamanuca Islands are home to some of Fiji’s most prestigious resorts, many of which are a top choice for families. Resorts are equipped with everything you need for a smooth yet fun family holiday, including kids’ clubs, family-friendly activities, swimming pools, snorkelling, beaches, cultural activities and much more.

Dig a little deeper into what a family trip to the Mamanucas is like with The Guide to the Mamanuca Islands for Families.

Yasawa Islands

Travel a little further north from Viti Levu and the Mamanucas, and you’ll reach the volcanic string of islands, the Yasawas. There are some resort options here that are a little more affordable for families, but some still offer kids’ clubs and babysitting services if you’re dying to go scuba diving or hit the spa.

Learn more about the Yasawas in The Guide to the Yasawa Islands for Families.

Be sure to check out The Best Islands to Visit in Fiji for more of a comparison.

Where to Visit: Vanua Levu and Taveuni

Although less visited than the previously mentioned islands, Fiji’s northern islands are home to some of the most luxurious boutique resorts.

Some of them have fantastic kids’ programs, while much of the scenery is simply natural pristineness, from the tops of volcanic mountain peaks to deep in the coral-filled waters.

Vanua Levu

Stay in one of the award-winning family resorts or keep things in the family with one of the many holiday homes and villas on Fiji’s second-largest island, Vanua Levu. Discover the wild side of Fiji together with waterfalls, the mesmerising river float to Salt Lake, Fijian villages, and some of the best snorkelling the islands have to offer.

If you do want some alone time, resorts with renowned kids’ clubs and nanny services can be found here.

Find out more in The Guide to Vanua Levu for Families.

Taveuni

Nicknamed Fiji’s “Garden Island”, Taveuni is an island of tropical jungles, authentic villages and, of course, a scattering of resorts, villas and lodges with room for families. With limited babysitting services and no kids’ clubs, Taveuni is definitely for the family that wants to explore nature’s paradise together.

See The Guide to Taveuni for Families to learn more.

Where to Visit: Kadavu, Lomaiviti and Lau Islands

Finally, don’t rule out Fiji’s least-visited islands, which will give insight into the way Fiji used to be. Families have some excellent boutique eco-friendly resorts in Kadavu, the chance to visit the historic islands of the Lomaivitis, and even the far-flung Lau Islands to explore.

Kadavu

Pristine nature and authentic island culture await on the island of Kadavu, which is Fiji’s fourth-largest island, lying just an hour’s flight south of Viti Levu.

Despite the outer, less-visited islands of Fiji often being an intimidating prospect for families, Kadavu is one of the most family-friendly, with a great selection of resorts to look after the whole family during your adventurous Fiji getaway. But forget days sipping cocktails by the pool; Kadavu is an island where the family can get active together.

Find out more in The Guide to Kadavu for Families.

Lomaiviti Islands

Conveniently located just a 10-minute flight from Suva, Ovalau, which is the main hub of the Lomaivitis, is packed with history, even earning the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A walk around the town of Levuka is sure to get the imaginations of the little ones going, while days on the islands enjoying snorkelling, kayaking and relaxing by the pool are other ways to spend a family getaway here.

Discover if the Lomaivitis is the right destination for your family in The Guide to the Lomaiviti Islands for Families.

Lau Islands

Finally, the Lau Islands are rarely visited by families unless you’re lucky enough to be travelling by yacht. Find out more in The Complete Guide to the Lau Islands.

How to Get Around Fiji

Yes, after seeing the number of island groups in Fiji, let alone the different islands and some of the larger islands to explore, you’re probably wondering: how do we get around all of these islands?

Transport differs between island groups. More touristic islands, such as the Mamanucas and Yasawas, are well-serviced with ferries, seaplanes and water taxis, while the lesser-visited islands may only have transport that is provided by your chosen resort. The main ways to get around Fiji include:

Domestic Flights

There are two scheduled domestic carriers in Fiji, both offering regular flights between Fiji’s most populated islands. Learn more about these flights in The Complete Guide to Flights in Fiji.

Charter Flights

Charter flights via fixed-wing, seaplane and helicopter aircraft are available in Fiji to take passengers between Fiji’s island groups, particularly Viti Levu and the Mamanucas, Yasawas, Vanua Levu, Taveuni and Kadavu. Find out more in our guide, Where to Hire a Plane or Seaplane in Fiji and Where to Hire a Helicopter in Fiji.

Ferries

High-speed catamaran ferries service the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands from Port Denarau in Viti Levu, while the slower passenger, vehicle and cargo ferries run from Suva in Viti Levu to the Lomaiviti Islands, Vanua Levu, Taveuni and Kadavu. Find out more in The Guide to Travelling in Fiji by Ferry.

Car Rental

Rental cars are available in Viti Levu, Vanua Levu and Taveuni. Learn more about hiring a car in The Guide to Renting a Car in Fiji.

Public Buses and Express Buses

Public buses are the cheapest type of transport available in Fiji. They are available in Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni and Ovalau. Find out more in our guide, How to Travel Around Fiji by Bus.

Taxis (LT and LH)

Taxis in Fiji can be identified by their “Taxi” signs and “LT” at the beginning of the registration plate. They offer affordable metered fares within towns, while fares for sightseeing or going between towns can be negotiated. Ground transport operators with “LH” plates are also referred to as taxis, offering transfers, private drivers and sightseeing services.

Where to Stay: Family Accommodation in Fiji

First and foremost, Fiji is a country of resorts. In most cases, resorts handle everything: accommodation, entertainment, tours and sometimes even transport, kids’ clubs and babysitting.

For these reasons, one of the most important decisions you can make for a trip to Fiji is where you are going to stay. That’s not to say that Fiji solely has resorts. If that’s not your style, then you have lodges, hotels, homestays, holiday homes and villas to choose from.

Note that some accommodations in Fiji only allow guests over the age of 12 or 16. Be sure to double-check with accommodation providers if it’s unclear whether kids can stay.

Take a look at accommodation styles across Fiji in The Best Fiji Accommodations: Where to Stay and find out more about choosing family stays in How to Pick the Best Family-Friendly Accommodation in Fiji.

Family-Friendly Resorts

The most abundant accommodation type in Fiji, resorts are typically complexes with hotel-style rooms or freestanding bure (bungalows) and facilities such as a restaurant and swimming pool.

Many resorts across Fiji, especially on remote islands, offer an entertainment schedule, as well as optional paid tours, such as scuba diving, fishing, massages and more. Most resorts offer babysitting services, while some even have kids’ clubs.

Explore what a resort involves in How to Select the Ideal Resort in Fiji for You. Plus, don’t miss the 20 Best Family Resorts in Fiji.

Family-Friendly Hotels

International-style hotels can be found in Fiji’s largest towns, such as Nadi, Suva and Lautoka. The rest of Fiji’s hotels are typically budget hotels found across Fiji’s smaller towns on Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

Learn more in How to Pick the Best Hotel in Fiji for You. Plus, browse our 30 Best Hotels in Fiji.

Holiday Homes and Villas

For a more intimate style of accommodation in Fiji, choose a holiday home or villa. Note that these are some of the very few self-catering accommodations available in Fiji and can usually only be found on Fiji’s larger islands, like Viti Levu, Vanua Levu and Taveuni.

Family-Friendly Food and Dining in Fiji

From the menus of the restaurants in Fiji’s major towns to the resort restaurants, a wide range of international cuisine is represented in Fiji. Fijian foods are also easy enough to come by, especially on resort menus, while Indo-Fijian cuisine is best sampled at town curry houses.

If you find yourself on a less developed island, your resort or homestay host provides meals, typically through meal plans.

Everything you need to know about food in Fiji can be found in The Food Guide to Fiji: Places to Eat & Food Tours.

Restaurants and Cafes

Restaurants and cafes come with plenty of choices in Fiji’s most-visited hubs, like Nadi, Denarau, Suva and Savusavu, serving up international favourites, including Asian, European, American and Fijian (mostly kokoda) dishes.

Outside these hubs, restaurants can almost only be found at resorts, while smaller towns may have the odd Asian takeaway or street food at markets.

Check out the food guide to each of Fiji’s regions in The Food Guide to Fiji: Places to Eat & Food Tours.

Resort Restaurants

Kids’ menus are a feature of most resorts in Fiji, while some resorts even provide children’s meals for free – see the 10 Resorts in Fiji Where Kids Eat for Free!

While resorts on Viti Levu tend to have à la carte menus or optional meal plans with a wide range of food choices, resorts in more remote areas or less-developed islands typically have fewer options and make the most of scarcer resources. These resorts tend to offer daily set menus, where you’ll need to order your meals a few hours in advance.

Many resorts pride themselves on showcasing fresh, locally sourced ingredients, often incorporating traditional Fijian flavours into their dishes. You can expect to find plenty of seafood options, tropical fruits, and international cuisines with a Fijian twist.

Some resorts even offer romantic private dining experiences on the beach – perfect for those special occasions! Meal plans are further explained in our guide, Is it Worth Buying a Resort Meal Plan in Fiji?

Self-Catering

Self-catering is relatively easy on Fiji’s most developed islands, Viti Levu, Vanua Levu and Ovalau, with plenty of accommodations with cooking facilities, as well as supermarkets, convenience stores and roadside fruit stalls to pick up supplies.

Check out the A Guide to Supermarkets & Food Shopping in Fiji for everything you need to know about a self-catering holiday. Plus, check out The Cost of Food in Fiji for restaurant and grocery store prices.

Special Diets

Vegetarian options are widely available in Fiji. More specific diets, such as veganism and coeliacs, are harder to cater for. Check out our advice in Fiji for Vegans & Vegetarians, as well as The Gluten-Free Guide to Fiji.

Food and Water Safety

There are no major health concerns to be worried about when it comes to food in Fiji. Resort restaurants have a high standard. However, one should be a little wary when it comes to street food – it’s best to try food that is cooked and to avoid drinking tap water (or treat it) if you’re unsure of the quality.

See Is the Water Safe to Drink in Fiji? for more advice. Plus, check out Fiji Safety Tips for additional advice.

We also have additional health tips for families, such as bringing your own brand of baby formula, in the 10 Health & Safety Tips for Travelling in Fiji with Kids.
