Get an instant transfer price →Do I need to pre-book my airport transfer in Fiji?
You don't have to – taxis wait outside arrivals at Nadi Airport – but pre-booking means your driver meets you when you land, the price is fixed before you travel, and you are not negotiating after a long flight. Our own airport transfers can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before pick-up.

May to October is the drier, slightly cooler season and the most popular time to visit. November to April is warmer and more humid, with more rain and the chance of tropical cyclones, but also lower prices at many resorts.
