So how do you get there? The normal way for most folks is to fly into Fiji’s main airport, Nadi International. Alternatively you may consider doing a Fiji vacation package as part of an Australasian tour and enter the country by boat from Australia. This is the more adventurous option and great fun! 

Once you are in Fiji, getting around is not too difficult. Renting a car is always a nice way to have flexibility in your movement. The public transport system is also there in the form of buses and taxis. For shorter trips you can even rent bicycles and cycle around the island. This way you can really experience the locals. If you want to do some inter-island travelling, there are various ferry services that take tourists from one island to another on daily excursions.
