💡 Travel Tips

  • Nadi means 'nail' in Fijian - pronounced NAN-di, not NAH-di. Locals will politely correct pronunciation.
  • Airport arrivals greeted with 'Bula!' and traditional song. Kava ceremony often offered at resorts.
  • Duty-free shopping available after clearing customs - liquor, electronics, jewelry at significant savings.
  • Change money at airport or banks, not hotels. ATMs widely available. Credit cards accepted at resorts.
  • Nadi town not beach destination - stay at Denarau or outer islands for beaches. Nadi is transit hub.
  • Respect Hindu customs at Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple - remove shoes, dress modestly, ask before photographing.
