Arriving at Nadi International Airport

How far is the airport from town?

Nadi International Airport sits about 9 kilometres north of Nadi Town, on the main island of Viti Levu. Fiji doesn't have a single "Fiji City" — the country is made up of numerous islands, and Nadi serves as the country's main international gateway.

Getting from the airport into town

Public buses connect the airport to nearby towns, though routes and schedules vary, so it's worth checking locally on arrival. Taxis are readily available outside the terminal — agree the fare with the driver before setting off, since fares can vary. Several rental car agencies also have desks at the airport for travellers who want to explore Fiji independently.

Best time to visit Nadi

Fiji's dry season, from May to October, offers the most reliable weather for beach days and diving, with cooler, less humid conditions than the wet season. Visiting in July also lines up with the Bula Festival, a celebration of parades, live music and food stalls showcasing Fijian culture.

Things to do around Nadi

Beyond the beaches, the Garden of the Sleeping Giant and the Sabeto Hot Springs make for an easy half-day trip from Nadi, and nearby villages offer a more grounded look at island life outside the resort strip.

What you need to travel

Check your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates, and carry some local currency for smaller vendors that don't accept cards, since not every stall or market stand takes card payments.
