Flight time.

Close to home. Fiji is just a 3-hour flight from Auckland – that means less time travelling and more time unwinding.

Best time to go.

From June to September are the cooler months but are also high season. The July and September Australia and New Zealand school holidays are busy periods and we recommend that you book at least 6-8 months advance to avoid disappointment.
