Flights to Taveuni

Some flights go direct, taking about an hour, while others go via Savusavu and take about 20 minutes or so longer. This allows passengers to alight for the Savusavu hotels and resorts. It is also possible to fly to Taveuni from Suva, the capital of Fiji. The airstrip at Taveuni is sealed. There are several flights morning and afternoon that go in and out of Taveuni, which are operated by the two main Fiji domestic airlines of Pacific Sun (formerly Sun Air) and Air Fiji. Light aircraft are used so it is best to check baggage allowance allowances prior to travel. The flight to Taveuni offers beautiful scenic views over coral reefs and islands along the way.

Inter Island Ferries

It is also possible to get to Taveuni by inter island ferry from Suva. There are two ferry service operators, using the Suilven or the Adi Savusavu. Both ferries go from Suva to Taveuni via Savusavu, and carry freight as well as passengers. This provides a colourful and 'real Fiji' experience as it provides the opportunity of seeing the local people of Fiji loading and unloading a variety of trucks and goods. The ferries dock at Wairiki just past Waiyevo, which is located about halfway down the island's north-west facing coastline. View a map of Taveuni to see the location. The inter-island ferries are primarily used by budget travellers as it is a cheaper way of getting to Taveuni. The journey takes about 12 hours or so by sea, with the Suva-Savusavu sector being mostly through the night.
