Watch for
Jan–Feb (peak summer demand)
Dry season (May–October): Cooler, sunny days, low humidity and excellent visibility for diving and snorkeling. This is Fiji’s main travel season—July–August and school holidays see higher prices and crowds. Hibiscus Festival (Suva) and whale/surf season peak in winter months. Shoulder seasons (March–May, September–November): Warm, fewer tourists, good deals and pleasant sea temps—ideal for travellers wanting lower rates and still-good weather. September–November often has calm seas and emerging surf swells. Wet/cyclone season (November–April): Hot, humid with frequent showers and occasional cyclones; fewer visitors and lower prices outside peak holidays. Peak travel still occurs around Christmas/New Year and Diwali (dates vary), when resorts fill and events and cultural celebrations are lively.

Discover destinations across Fiji
Fly into Nadi International Airport (NAN) on Viti Levu — Fiji’s main gateway — or smaller Nausori (near Suva) for domestic connections. Domestic travel is best by Fiji Link or smaller carriers and charter seaplanes/helicopters to outer islands. There are no passenger trains in Fiji. On Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, public buses and minibuses link Nadi, Lautoka and Suva; intercity coaches run regular scheduled services. Island-hopping relies on ferries and catamarans (scheduled and high-speed) plus local water taxis; many resorts offer transfers. In towns use taxis (agree fare or ask for meter), rental cars (drive on the left), scooters or bicycles. Book domestic flights and ferries in peak season and allow extra time for transfers between air, road and sea.
