nadi airport to beachcomber island

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji

Hi all,

myself and my fiance land in nadi airport at 15:20. this too late to get the yasawa flyer and the regular beachcomber ferry. the beachcomber website suggests that there are other options but give no further details and haven't replied to my e mail. it would be great to hear from anyone else who has made this trip late in the evening how they did it? prices, times etc. would be appreciated.

Also, we then travel to octopus and oarsman and back to nadi. which would be more economical a 7 day bula pass or inividual fares?

Thanks in advance

Tina

It would be too late for the Yasawa flyer, but i have heard that beachcomber has a ferry type service of its own that could pick you up but i am not sure. Ask at the airports tourist info place to see if they can get beachcomber's boat to pick you up that afternoon.

If not, stay a night in Nadi and get wherever you stay to book you a place on the Yasawa flyer for the next day (most of the resorts/hostels have tourist centers that can do this, and receptionists are normally more than happy to do this) and a bus will take you to the port and on to the catamaran the next morning. Ask at the airports tourist info place to see if they can get beachcomber's boat to pick you up that afternoon anyway.

I did a similar thing and the individual fares were cheaper than a bula pass, but thats a call you will probably have to make when you get there.

Good luck!
Jamie
