Fiji

The best time to visit Fiji is from late October to early November when the weather is dry, warm and settled. The beaches and resorts are far less crowded as school is still in at this time of year and the cost of getting and staying here has not yet reached its peak.

Nadi International Airport (NAN), which is located 9 km north of downtown Nadi, is the gateway to Fiji. There are plenty of modern air-conditioned coaches serving between the airport, the resorts and major towns. Bus company that operates from the airport are: Sunbeam Bus sunbeamfiji.com/timetable Pacific Transport Bus www.pacifictransport.com.fj Taxis at Nadi International Airport are operated by individual companies with the approval of Airports Fiji Limited. It is obligatory for taxi meters to be used for all journeys.

Buses Getting around Fiji is cheap and easy due to the good network of buses, carriers (small trucks) and ferries. Local buses also allow the visitor a chance to mingle with the people of Fiji, who by choice and tradition, treat strangers with gracious hospitality. Every town and village has its own bus stop since the bus is the most common form of transportation. You can also hail any public bus from the roadside just by waving to the driver. Travelling to and from Nadi Only the West Bus (small yellow bus) is allowed into Denarau. Running every fifteen minutes, the drop-off is right in the middle of the Port Denarau shops. You pay $1.00 to the driver when disembarking, not on entry.

Taxis are required to have the meter running when hired but the drivers do not always turn them on, establish the price first before getting in. Fares are reasonably priced. Taxis can also be booked through your resort.
