Unforgettable Day Trips from Nadi, Fiji
Updated: Jun 22
So, you're on a trip of a lifetime and have arrived in Fiji! Nadi is the starting place for many travellers of Fiji as it is the main international hub for the country. We arrived in Nadi and spent 4 nights there before island hopping. We loved hanging out in the bars, meeting the locals and enjoying some of the wonderful trips we found along the way. We came to Fiji seeking both adventure and relaxation and Nadi served as the perfect base for both! With some of the most stunning islands and attractions the South Pacific has to offer, we have compiled some of our favourite day trips we did while in Nadi. You're one step closer to that unforgettable experience in Fiji!
Cloud 9 Fiji
A visit to Cloud 9 is a must do for those of us who like to relax with a cocktail or beer in hand! Cloud 9 is a unique floating platform, situated on the turquoise waters of the Mamanuca Islands. Only accessible by boat, this floating oasis offers a one-of-a-kind experience that blends a laid-back atmosphere with lively music and delicious cocktails! Imagine yourself lounging on plush day beds, sipping tropical cocktails, munching on a freshly made wood-fired pizza (am I dreaming?!), while you soak up the sun and breathtaking views! You really will feel like you're on Cloud 9! We loved how having such a small group made it so easy to meet people and next thing you know, we're all jumping off the top deck together! So, whether you're dancing to the rhythm of the DJ, jumping from the top deck of the bar or snorkelling with the turtles - Cloud 9 promises an unforgettable memory to add to your Fiji adventure!
For a more upscale and serene experience, Malamala Beach Club is here for you. Just a short cruise away, this exclusive island retreat invites you to unwind on pristine beaches, dip into infinity pools, and indulge in gourmet cuisine. We loved that it had a huge choice of lounging options from hammocks, double sunbeds, beanbags - we were spoilt for choice! During our visit, they had an amazing deal of 5 cocktails for $99FJ, which we fell for immediately as their cocktail range is stunning! Our favourites were, of course, Drunken Coconut (the cocktail in a coconut) and the Expresso Beach Martini, yum! You can choose to relax all day, snorkel through the vibrant coral reefs or indulge in spa treatments by the ocean! This day trip promises luxury, relaxation, and a taste of Fiji's unparalleled natural beauty.
On a day trip with Captain Cook Cruises, you get to immerse yourself in Fijian culture with a visit to Tivua Island! It's a tiny island, surrounded by coral gardens and clear waters. On the boat trip to the island, you'll participate in welcome drinks and be serenaded with Fijian music and songs! The crew were unbelievable! They had everyone singing and laughing along with them! Once on the island, you'll have the chance to participate in traditional ceremonies, explore the lush landscape (which probably only takes around 5 minutes to complete on this tiny island!) and snorkel among vibrant marine life. Kayaks and stand up paddle boards are readily available, with the chance to ride the glass bottom boat with a marine biologist! Engage with a Kava ceremony, learn about traditional crafts, and savor a delectable Fijian buffet feast. Tivua Island is a perfect blend of adventure, education, and cultural enrichment!
At only 380 meters to walk around this whole island - South Sea is a tiny gem. Get ready for an action-packed day of excitement, sun (and drinking!) With unlimited beer and wine, South Sea is an all inclusive deal. With activities such as kayaking and paddleboarding to scuba diving and snorkelling, this island has it all! It even has a little market where you can buy some souvenirs made by locals. Our favourite part of the trip was watching the Meke performance while having the buffet lunch. The whole performance is captivating! After lunch, dive into the colourful underwater world during the snorkeling sessions, and if you're feeling brave, take a scuba dive lesson or visit the underwater observatory. South Sea Island caters to all, with a little something for everyone.
Venture into the heart of Fiji's lush rainforest with a trip to the 35 acre eco-friendly Sleeping Giant Zipline. With 7 ziplines and 2 stunning waterfalls, this is a trip not to be missed! Feel the rush of adrenaline as you soar above towering trees and breathtaking scenery. The guides are amazing and they're quick to convince you to try a zipline upside down and we say - DO IT! You'll fly over rivers and waterfalls, don't forget to take in the panoramic views and appreciate the untouched wilderness of Fiji! This adventure offers not only heart-pounding excitement but also a unique perspective of Fiji's natural beauty with a little hike to Orchid Falls! Catch a quick refreshing dip in the falls after a day of flying through the jungle!
As you can see, there's a multitude of experiences to be had in Fiji! From floating paradises to cultural immersion and thrilling adventures, Fiji's day trip options from Nadi are as diverse as they are unforgettable. Whether you're dancing on the decks of Cloud 9, enjoying the luxury of Malamala Beach Club, or exploring the depths of the ocean at South Sea Island, each experience contributes to a tapestry of memories that will stay with you long after you've left this tropical paradise. So, do what we did and pack your swimsuit, grab your sense of adventure, and get booking that trip to FIJI!
