Cheap flights to Taveuni from Australia may seem long and complex, however your final destination – the pristine Garden Island of Fiji – is an unforgettable destination that will provide you with memories for years to come.
The lush, tropical isle of Taveuni, Fiji is one of the Oceania’s best kept secrets. Also known as the Garden Island, Taveuni is Fiji’s third-largest island and home to roughly 12,000 residents, most of whom live in traditional villages surrounded by verdant rainforests.
There are no direct flights to Taveuni from Australia, so traveling there will require an initial layover in Fiji’s capital and main travel hub, Nadi, before continuing onward to Taveuni. Qantas Airways offers non-stop codeshare flights to Nadi from Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. Taveuni’s Matei Airport is serviced by Fiji’s only international airline, Air Pacific, which operates all interisland flights between Nadi and Taveuni. Pacific Sun, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air Pacific, provides supplementary regional and interisland flights. While direct flights to Taveuni are usually available, additional stops along Air Pacific’s Nadi-Taveuni route may include Savusavu Airport or Nausori Airport in Suva.
Upon landing in at Matei Airport, you will be greeted with a Fijian sign: “Ni Sa Bula,” which translates into a warm “hello!” Recently upgraded from gravel-lined to paved and tar-sealed, Matei’s lone runway is flanked by acres of coconut palms, turquoise waters, and phenomenal views of unadulterated reefs. Just a few minutes from the airport, several luxurious villas and resorts are available for rent. Plenty of options for your Taveuni holidays.
