How to Get to the Coral Coast

Being located on the south coast of Viti Levu, a 1-2 hours drive from Nadi International Airport, the Coral Coast is one of the easiest places to get to in Fiji for your wedding celebrations. It will be a breeze for friends and family to join you for your special day. While there are a few different ways to get to the Coral Coast – just take a look at our Coral Coast Transport Guide – here are some of the best ways for romantic getaways.

Coral Coast via Private Transfer

Let your driver handle the foreign roads while you relax with your loved one and watch the stunning Coral Coast scenery go by. Your personal driver will be waiting for you on arrival at the Nadi International Airport, ready to whisk you to the doorstep of your chosen resort. Check out our private transfer recommendations in the 10 Best Airport Transfers in Fiji and the Coral Coast Transport Guide.

Coral Coast via Resort Shuttles

Some resorts offer private airport transfer services at a cost. They work similarly to a private transfer (see above). Find out which resorts offer their own transfer service in our Coral Coast Transport Guide.

Coral Coast via Car Rental

Considering there is a lot to explore outside of your resort, you might want to consider renting your own vehicle. Car rental depots are located in Nadi, many at Nadi Airport, as well as in Korotogo and at certain resorts along the Coral Coast. Check out The Best Car Rentals in Fiji to see your options.

Helicopter Transfers

For a swift and scenic journey to the Coral Coast, helicopter transfers offer a luxurious option. Note that all have a 15 kg (33 lbs) baggage allowance per passenger.

Activities on the Coral Coast for Couples

Romantic getaways and honeymoons are about making the most of your time together. We’ve picked out some of the best activities for couples, keeping intimacy and privacy in mind, rather than tours with large tour groups.

Romantic Land Activities on the Coral Coast

Indulge in a luxurious spa treatment together in one of the many romantic day spas on the Coral Coast. The Bebe Spa of the Outrigger Resort is set on a hillside with private open-air treatment balconies offering breathtaking views. Relax in a private hydrotherapy pool together with a glass of bubbles in hand as you watch the sun go down. See more of your spa options in our 10 Best Day Spas on the Coral Coast.

Another romantic way to end the day is with a private dinner. Almost every resort on the Coral Coast offers some sort of private dining experience, whether it’s a seafood platter and wine dinner at the poolside of the InterContinental Resort or under the cabana on its own island at The Warwick Fiji.

There’s something quite romantic about discovering a new land on horseback. See spectacular landscapes of beaches and tropical forests on a horse riding tour along with your loved one with operators such as Fiji Coral Coast Horseriding Adventures at Baravi, offering beach, jungle and lovo experiences or Natadola Bay Horseriding Tours Transfer, offering cross-country horse riding and cave tours. 

Romantic Water Activities on the Coral Coast

Strengthen your bond by tackling a new challenge: learning how to scuba dive together! The Coral Coast is only moments away from a wealth of dive sites rich with colourful coral gardens and marine life. It’s an exceptional place to learn with resorts like The Warwick, InterContinental, Outrigger, Mango Bay, Crusoe’s Retreat and more offering PADI-associated scuba diving courses (most of which with Diveaway Fiji). Find out more about the experience in How to Learn to Scuba Dive in Fiji: The Ultimate Guide.

A peaceful therefore romantic way to explore the coast and lagoons of the Coral Coast is by gliding across the water in a kayak. Double kayaks are usually a staple of the Coral Coast beach resort’s water sports equipment and are usually free to use. So get in a kayak and work together to discover hidden bays and coves.

Put your arms around your partner’s waist and hold on as you two embark on a breathtaking thrill ride by jet ski! Your qualified guide will teach you the basics before you set off on a jet ski trip to a breathtaking island or beach for a picnic lunch and snorkelling. Trips like this are available with Hydrosports Fiji who offer jet ski tours out of InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa and Shangri-La’s Fijian Resort & Spa, as well as Jetski Safaris at resorts near the Pacific Harbour, such as the Wellesley Resort Fiji. Learn more about tours in the 5 Best Jet Ski Tours in Fiji.

Finally, unwind with your loved one at the end of a day in paradise with a drink in hand as you enjoy a sunset cruise offered by resorts such as the InterContinental Fiji Resort. Mix your sunset cruise with a dinner show on Likuri Island (this trip can get quite busy, though), or enjoy a relaxing private fishing cruise at sunset with Sigatoka Fishing Charters.

More Things to Do on the Coral Coast

The rest of your time on the Coral Coast can be enjoyed by exploring stunning beaches, indulging in romantic sunset dinners, or experiencing thrilling water sports, which you can find out more about in the 15 Romantic Activities on the Coral Coast for Couples.
