Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you have access to a car in the Lau Islands, your journey to Fiji Islands starts by driving to the nearest ferry terminal, which may vary depending on your exact location in Lau. For example, if you are near the island of Lakeba, head towards the Lakeba Wharf. After reaching the wharf, take a ferry to the main island of Viti Levu or Vanua Levu. The ferry ride can take several hours, so be sure to check the schedule in advance. Costs for the ferry vary, generally around FJD 50-100 per person depending on your destination and ferry service.
Public Transportation
Public transport options within Lau Islands typically include mini-buses or shared taxis that go to the main ferry terminals. If you are in a smaller island like Moce, you will need to arrange a boat to take you to the nearest larger island with ferry services, such as Lakeba or Vanuabalavu. From there, catch a ferry to Viti Levu or Vanua Levu. The cost for the mini-bus or shared taxi to the wharf is generally around FJD 10-20. Once the ferry arrives at Viti Levu or Vanua Levu, you may need to take a local bus or taxi to reach your specific destination on the island.
Boat Transfer
For those who prefer a direct route or are staying in smaller, more remote parts of Lau Islands, consider arranging a private boat transfer to Fiji Islands. This can often be organized through local resorts or travel agencies. Costs for private boat transfers can be significantly higher, ranging from FJD 200-600 depending on distance and size of the boat. Make sure to book in advance and confirm the exact departure point and time.
