How to get there
Fiji’s international airport is Nadi.
International travel from Australia
All yoga course prices are without the international airfare. Other course prices usually offer the option of including it if you wish, so you are able to book your own flights, or we can arrange them for you. We book with either Virgin Australia, Jetstar or Air Pacific.
Virgin Australia leaves Sydney at 8.10am (depending on time of year) and arrives in Nadi at 2.10 pm. You will then need to spend a night in Nadi and fly on to Vanua Levu (our island) the next day. We will usually book you straight on to Savusavu although sometimes we may use Labasa to the north of us – its a 75 minute drive over the very beautiful mountains and gives you a chance to see more of the island.
Air Pacific which has just introduced a new flight which leaves Sydney at 6.10am, arrives in Nadi at 11.00am and then has a connection with the afternoon flight to Savusavu. Alternatively if this is too early there is a second flight which leaves Sydney at 1310; you will then need to spend a night in Nadi and again, we will arrange for a flight on to Savusavu or Labasa the next day. On the return, there are now two Air Pacific flights; one leaves Nadi in the evening so you can fly out of Savusavu the same day to make the connection and do the jurney in a single day, OR there is the morning flight which leaves Nadi at 9.00am. If you use this one you will either need to spend another night in Nadi. You may choose to book your return with Virgin or JetStar as they leave in the afternoon and you can therefore make the connection in a single day with them too. Please double check with us before booking as the domestic flights are sometimes very busy and we may need to book another time.
If you are coming from another city in Australia, we can also book your flight; we will advise of the price before going ahead.
International travel from the US
If you are coming from the US youwill probably be flying out of LA. Air Pacific flies from LA regularly 4 times a week departing at 2330. It is a 10 hr. 25 min. flight but as it crosses the International Date Line you arrive at 5.10 am two days later ie if you depart LA on a Tuesday night you will arrive in Nadi on Thursday morning. On the return you leave Nadi at 2230 and arrive back in LA at approx 1320 on the same day, so you get your ‘lost’ day back.
International travel from other cities
If you are coming from another part of the world and are arranging your own flights to Fiji, we are happy to advise on the best flight options. Please let us know when you plan to arrive so we can make the appropriate domestic flights bookings.
Requests for different flight dates
We are happy to book your flights earlier / later than the course dates if so requested. If this involves moving into an expensive period we will let you know and add on the difference, but this is unlikely to happen, and we will quote you before going ahead.
Overnight stays in Nadi
