    "To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries" - Aldous Huxley

    DAY 1: NADI (1 NIGHT)

    Welcome to Viti Levu, Fiji! Once you have gone through the airport arrival process, picked up your rental car, it’s time to explore one of Fiji’s largest cities. If you’re intrigued by the culture of a Fiji city, head into town where you can mingle with the locals at the markets, check out the vibrant Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple and indulge in the city’s eateries.


    Relax on Nadi's pristine beaches

    Alternatively, escape to nature immediately by taking the Nadi back roads to the Sabeto Valley, home to hot pools and the Garden of the Sleeping Giant. Your hire car, paired with your Lonely Planet guide, will take you through some amazing destinations - don’t forget your camera!

    DAY 2: NADI TO RAKIRAKI (2 NIGHTS)

    Today you drive through the spectacular coastal scenery of the Suncoast, famous for having the longest sunshine hours in Fiji.There are plenty of sights to see along the way between the Church of the Black Christ and the Tomb of Udre Udre – the tomb of a once feared cannibal.


    Step back in time at Navala Village

    We recommend you take a detour to Navala Village, a traditional 200-year-old village deep in the mountain landscape of Viti Levu. In the last afternoon, check-in to your accommodation and enjoy a traditional lova dinner. Depending on availability, your accommodation may be on nearby Nananu-i-Ra Island.

    DAY 3: RAKIRAKI

    Spend some more time relaxing in Rakiraki doing activities you might have missed yesterday. If you’re staying on Nananu-i-Ra Island, hit one of the hikes in the morning for epic views of the mainland and the Nakauvadra Ranges.


    Uncover the beauty and charm of Rakiraki

    There’s also fantastic snorkelling available just outside McDonald’s Nananu Beach Cottages where there is a marine reserve.

    DAY 4: RAKIRAKI TO SUVA (1 NIGHT)

    Get back on the road with a scenic drive inland on Viti Levu passing through small villages. Along the way, take a detour to Takalana Bay Retreat and consider treating yourself to a dolphin or snorkelling cruise to Moon Reef. At Wailotua Village (the westernmost village of the two with the same name), ask one of the villagers if you can have a guide to see the Wailotua Snake God Cave - you won’t regret it and it will only cost a couple of bucks! Your trip today ends in Suva, Fiji’s capital city, where you’ll want to save some time to check out the Fiji Museum and enjoy some food and drink.


    Experience the vibrant heart of Suva City

    DAY 5: SUVA TO THE PACIFIC HARBOUR (1 NIGHT)

    A short drive away from Fiji’s administrative capital is Fiji’s adventure capital, the Pacific Harbour. The town is famous for its adrenaline activities, including white water rafting, shark dives, jet boating, ziplining and more. We also recommend you immerse yourself in culture at Arts Village.

Enjoy the adventure, even with a bit of ‘liquid sunshine’!

    DAY 6: PACIFIC HARBOUR TO THE CORAL COAST (2 NIGHTS)

    Today includes a beautiful coastal drive through Fiji’s popular Coral Coast! Here, you have 80km/50miles of bays and beaches to explore along the Queens Road.
