Taveuni is called the Garden Island of Fiji, and part of its charm is that it takes a little effort to reach. The journey is simpler than most people expect. Here is how it works.
Step 1: Fly to Fiji
Arrive at Nadi International Airport on Viti Levu. Direct flights are available from Australia, New Zealand, the United States (Los Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu), Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and Vancouver. As there are a range of timetables to select from it is best to check the latest information available on the Fiji Airways website.
Fiji Airways offers an excellent in-flight service and is internationally recognised for its hospitality and friendliness—a great introduction to the friendly Fijian smiles you will experience on your arrival.
Step 2: Connect to Taveuni
From Nadi, a domestic flight takes you to Taveuni; you will enjoy a 70-minute scenic flight over coral atolls and a turquoise ocean. Flights are operated by Fiji Airways’ domestic carrier, Fiji Link, so connections can be booked through the same website. Schedules change, so check times when you plan your arrival day. Typically, the flights between Nadi and Taveuni depart Nadi in the morning ~7 am -7.15 am and in the afternoon ~2.30 pm however, it is best to check these times through the Fiji Airways website.
Tip: Because domestic schedules can be limited, consider an overnight in Nadi on the way in or out so a delayed international flight does not cost you a connection. For guests staying at Taveuni Palms, if your flight arrives in the early morning, then there is time to make the morning flight to Taveuni; however, you will need to arrange it beforehand when you make your accommodation booking to confirm availability, as standard check-in time is 2 pm. There is a fee for the early check-in; this gives you the use of the villa for the day and meals.
Step 3: Transfer to Taveuni Palms
Our team will meet you after you land at Taveuni Airport and take you to the resort. After the journey, a cold drink and a first look at your villa are a very good way to arrive. Then all you need to do is relax into Fiji Time.
Planning tips
- Luggage: domestic flights have lower weight limits than international ones, so check allowances before you pack. If you book your domestic flight with your international flight on the same ticket, you are able to have the international luggage allowance for your domestic flight.
