Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Ferry
To reach the Mamanuca Islands, start by making your way to the Port Denarau Marina on Viti Levu. If you're in Nadi, you can take a taxi or public bus to the marina (taxi costs around FJD 30-40, bus is FJD 1-2). Upon arriving at the marina, purchase a ferry ticket from one of the operators (such as South Sea Cruises or Malolo Cat) that run services to various islands in the Mamanuca group. The ferry ride typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on your destination.
Charter Boat
If you're staying at a resort in the Mamanuca Islands, check if they offer a private charter boat service. You can arrange for a pickup from Port Denarau or a nearby beach. This option may be more expensive (around FJD 200-500 depending on the distance and boat type) but provides a direct and scenic route to your resort.
Helicopter Transfer
For a unique experience, consider a helicopter transfer from Nadi to the Mamanuca Islands. Book through a helicopter service provider at the Nadi Airport or through your hotel. This option offers stunning aerial views of the islands and is the quickest way to reach your destination, taking approximately 10-15 minutes. Expect to pay around FJD 400-600 per person.
