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.
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.
The Best Time for a Honeymoon in Fiji
With warm temperatures and less rain than in the wet season but not the crowds of the dry season, the months of September, October and November are the best time for a honeymoon in Fiji.
Still can’t decide when the best time is to travel to Fiji? Check out our complete guide, The Best Time to Visit Fiji, which dives much deeper into the subject.

What to Pack for Fiji: Couples’ Packing List

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, 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.
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.

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 couples, 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 the Fiji Honeymoon & Romance Itinerary: 3 Days.
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 Honeymoon & Romance Itinerary: 5 Days for more 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 Honeymoon & Romance Itinerary: 7 Days (Idyllic Islands) and Fiji Honeymoon & Romance Itinerary: 7 Days (Viti Levu Road Trip) for trip ideas.
14 Days / 2 Weeks in Fiji
14 days allows you to extend the 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 Fiji Honeymoon & Romance Itinerary: 14 Days.
How Long Can You Stay in Fiji?
Visitors to Fiji can stay up to four months! Visitor extensions are available; however, you can learn more about them in our guide, How Long Can You Stay in Fiji on a Visitor Visa?

Where to Visit: Viti Levu
Viti Levu is Fiji’s largest island, and it has several unique destinations. What’s more, it’s the arrival island for Fiji, meaning that any wedding here is going to be the easiest and the least expensive Fiji destination for your friends and family to get to.
Nadi, Denarau and the Coral Coast
Newly-weds or couples who are looking for an easy romantic escape, check out the regions of Viti Levu known as Nadi, Denarau and the Coral Coast.
If you don’t have enough time to head to the remotest outer reaches of Fiji, basing yourself in Nadi for your romantic getaway or honeymoon is a spectacular alternative. There are many romantic activities and luxurious resorts, not to mention the beautiful weather, all accessible from Nadi.
Check out The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to Nadi to learn more.
Situated just 25 minutes from Nadi International Airport, Denarau will transition you and your hubby into Fiji mode soon after landing. Denarau is also ideal for newlyweds with limited honeymoon time to celebrate the rest of their lives together in style.
Learn more in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to Denarau.
And along the southern coast of Viti Levu is the Coral Coast, which is often referred to as the most picturesque part of the island thanks to its white-sand beaches lined with lush greenery and vibrant blue waters.
We guide you through the accommodation, activities, wedding venues and honeymoon packages in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to the Coral Coast.
Pacific Harbour, Suva and the Suncoast
Located in the eastern and northern regions of Viti Levu, the Pacific Harbour, Suva and the Suncoast are other easy destinations to get to yet off the beaten track.
Starting with the Pacific Harbour, it might have made its name as the “adventure capital of Fiji” but we honestly feel it should be the “romance capital” thanks to its breathtaking off-shore islands, the vibrant waters of the Beqa Lagoon and effortless romance found in the experiences available at each resort.
Find out more in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to Pacific Harbour & Beqa.
Fiji’s capital, Suva, is not many couples’ first choice for a honeymoon, but the exciting city vibes, manicured waterfront parks, and historic hotels just might be what you’re looking for. Find out more in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to Suva.
Finally, with dazzling sunsets and the luxury of being Fiji’s best-kept secret, the Suncoast is well worth considering for your romantic escape. For couples looking for an alternative experience to busy resorts, this less-visited area of Fiji is just the place.
Learn more in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to the Suncoast.
Be sure to check out The Complete Travel Guide to Viti Levu and A Guide to the Fiji Regions & Island Groups for more of a comparison.

Where to Visit: Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands
The scattering of tiny coral atolls in the Mamanucas and the ruggedly beautiful volcanic islands of the Yasawas make an iconic Fiji backdrop to an island wedding. With an array of resorts offering wedding and honeymoon packages, planning a toes-in-the-sand wedding is made easy at these island groups.
Mamanuca Islands
One of the most picturesque island groups in the South Pacific, the Mamanuca Islands makes the perfect setting for a romantic getaway. The group of around 20 islands is located either a 30-minute to one-hour ferry journey from Denarau or a 10-minute helicopter flight from Nadi or Denarau.
We guide you through the wedding venues, proposal ideas, romantic accommodations and activities in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to the Mamanuca Islands.
Yasawa Islands
The Yasawa Islands of Fiji provide an utterly romantic getaway, which is approximately a 2-4 hour ferry journey or a 30-minute charter flight from the mainland.
We guide you through the stunning places to stay, romantic activities, wedding venues, proposal ideas and more in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to the Yasawa Islands.
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 Fiji’s northern islands are often the forgotten frontier when it comes to honeymoons and romantic getaways, they are arguably the best islands for couples.
Just a one-hour flight north from Nadi brings you to the verdant islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni, home to pristine wilderness combined with authentic villages and small Indo-Fijian towns. In the mix are some lavish resorts ideal for a romantic getaway or special occasion.
Vanua Levu
Fiji’s second-largest island is a world away from its big sister, Viti Levu. With picturesque waterfalls, pristine sandy beaches, isolated islands and even a coral reef shaped like a heart, there are many perfect settings for romantic moments.
What’s more, planning your special day here couldn’t be easier with the limited yet highly revered resorts on the island offering premium wedding packages and venues.
Find out about them all and more in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to Vanua Levu.
Taveuni
With lush jungles laced with cascading waterfalls, pristine sandy beaches and azure waters full of vibrant coral, Taveuni sure sets the scene for a romantic holiday.
A special place on earth such as Fiji’s “Garden Island” calls for a special occasion, whether it’s for saying your vows or enjoying your first holiday away together as a couple.
Learn more in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to Taveuni.
Be sure to check out The Best Islands to Visit in Fiji for more of a comparison.

Where to Visit: Kadavu, Lomaiviti and Lau Islands
Couples looking for a romantic getaway that’s as unique as they are can almost guarantee that they’ll know no one who has had a romantic getaway or honeymoon here. Consider one of Fiji’s lesser-visited islands like Kadavu, the Lomaiviti Islands or even the Lau Islands.
Kadavu
This large island south of Viti Levu is awash in luxuriant forests, volcanic cliffs and azure waters, holding the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef. In Kadavu, couples can choose private island luxury or simple barefoot getaways to immerse themselves in the local culture, wildlife, and rhythm of the island.
Find out more in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to Kadavu.
Lomaiviti Islands
If you like the idea of the Yasawa and Mamanuca Islands but are looking for a less-visited alternative, why not choose the Lomaivitis? Just off the coast of Suva, the Lomaiviti Islands offer intriguing colonial and Fijian history, a diverse and untouched underwater seascape, and private island resorts wrapped in luxury.
Learn more in The Honeymoon & Romantic Getaway Guide to the Lomaiviti Islands.
Lau Islands
Finally, if you’re looking for a romantic getaway to some untouched islands in the South Pacific, then the Lau Islands are pretty tempting.
You won’t find any wedding services like what is available in the resorts around other Fiji island groups, but Lau Group can, however, be an ultra-special honeymoon destination with the island group’s one luxury resort or through a sailing charter.
Learn more in The Complete Guide to the Lau Islands.
Be sure to check out The Best Islands to Visit in Fiji for more of a comparison.

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 I 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 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 Rentals
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.

Taxis in Fiji can be identified by their “Taxi” signs and “LT” at the beginning of the registration plate.

Where to Stay: Couples’ 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, as well as your wedding, vow renewals and more. 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, villas and even small-ship cruises to choose from.
Take a look at our top recommendations for couples in the 20 Most Romantic Resorts in Fiji, as well as advice on choosing a place to stay in How to Pick the Best Wedding & Honeymoon Accommodation in Fiji.
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.
Note that there are also adults-only resorts in Fiji if you are looking for something more tranquil.
It’s also worth mentioning the honeymoon and wedding packages available at resorts, which usually entail an all-inclusive vacation for one price or a few freebies like bubbles in your room, pre-dinner canapés, etc.
See The Best Wedding Packages in Fiji and the 10 Best Honeymoon Packages in Fiji for more information.
Dive deeper into what a resort entails in How to Pick the Best Resort in Fiji for You. Plus, don’t miss the 25 Most Romantic Resorts in Fiji.
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.
Learn more about what holiday homes are like in How to Pick the Best Holiday Home in Fiji for You and villas in How to Pick the Best Villa in Fiji for You. Plus, find the ideal stay in the 20 Beautiful Holiday Homes in Fiji and the 15 Best Luxury Villas in Fiji.
Homestays
Becoming more and more abundant in Fiji with the popularity of booking websites like Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia, homestays are where locals open up their spare rooms to visitors. With many homestays available in Fijian villages, this can be a truly authentic way to experience the Fijian culture.
Note, however, that this is not an appropriate accommodation choice for travellers who like their luxuries and modern comforts.
Find out more about what a homestay is like in How to Pick the Best Homestay in Fiji for You. And pick a homestay from the 20 Best Homestays in Fiji.
Small-Ship Cruises
Fiji’s small-ship cruises sail primarily to the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands and less frequently sailing to other island groups throughout the year. They offer cabin accommodation along with the opportunity to visit different islands, free and optional paid activities, and meals. Learn more about these cruises in The Guide to Cruises Around Fiji.

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
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.
