# Nadi airport to Yasawa Flyer - 3 hours enough time? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
avocadogirl 19:06 UTC 29 May 2014 | My husband and I are honeymooning in Fiji in July and want to start off in the Yasawas. We land at Nadi airport at 5:30am on a Sunday and are wondering if we'll have enough time to make it through customs, collect our bags and cab to Denarau to catch the 8:30am Yasawa Flyer? Are there other modes of transport up to the Yasawas besides a chartered plane? Thanks! |

There is the new seaplane service with http://www.pacificislandair.com/fiji-seaplane-services-__I.10508 it has reasonable prices compared to the helicopters. We had just a 45 minute time to final check in coming back from the islands on South Sea Cruises and just made it with 2 minutes to spare a couple of weeks ago. Should have been plenty of time but one couple took 15 minutes to walk the 100 meters from the boat to the bus and the driver stopped and gave way to everyone in his path!!!! | 1

The office for Awesome Adventures opens at 6 a.m. OR SO. In theory, if your plane lands on time, and customs take the average time, then you should be fine. In theory. You can buy Yasawa ferry tickets at the Awesome Adventures office, although if you're planning a multi day trip on the flyer, it's probably best to organise things ahead of time. | 2

farflung 19:14 UTC 02 Jul 2014 | The queue at Immigration, rather than customs, will be the issue. You should be fine. It's 20 mins or so by taxi. | 5
