Public Transport

Public Transport

Getting around Fiji is cheap and easy thanks to the good network of buses, "carriers" (small trucks) and ferries. Local buses give you the opportunity to mingle with the people of Fiji, who by choice and tradition, treat strangers with gracious hospitality. Every town and village has its own bus stop since the bus is the most common form of public transportation. You can also hail any public bus from the roadside just by waving to the driver. Only the West Bus company (small yellow bus) is allowed to drive into Denarau Island resort. Running every fifteen minutes, the drop-off is right in the middle of the Port Denarau shops. To travel between Fiji's islands, options include ferries, cargo boats, boat taxis, and planes. Sea travel is more affordable, with daily ferries running between Port Denarau on Viti Levu and the Mamanuca Islands. Island resorts often organise boat transfers for their guests.
