| Like many
visitors to Fiji, we arrived at the Nadi (pronounced "Nandi")
airport and went directly to Port Denarau. The twenty minute taxi ride from the "NAN" airport to Denarau Island cost about 30 FJD or $15 USD. We were almost two hours early for our ride on the South Sea Cruises ferry boat to the Amunuca Resort on Tokoriki Island. To pass the time, we walked around the Port Denarau outdoor mall to check out the shops and restaurants. Some of the stores located here include Dahia Shoes, Jacks of Fiji, Liquid Culture, Jewels Fiji, Cloudbreak, Oasis Beauty, Adrenalin Fiji, Island Artifacts, Westpac Bank, City Forex Money Exchange, Yees Express Mart Groceries, Post Fiji, Tradewinds Marine, Waitui Surf, and Budget Car Rental. |

| It was too early for any of the restaurants to be open, so we bought some snacks at the Yees Xpressmart. Some of the other places to grab a bite at Port Denarau are the Hard Rock Cafe Fiji, Cardo's Steak House, Kebab King, Biloccino Coffe Lounge, Amalfi Italian Restaurant, Chefs Restaurant, N.Z. Natural Ice Cream, Indigo Indian Restaurant, Mama's Pizza, Chicken Express, Hot Bread Kitchen, and the Wyndham Resort Restaurant. | ||

| For those people who'd rather stay close to the airport, there are several luxury accommodations on Denarau Island including the Sheraton Villas, Sofitel Fiji Resort, Radisson Resort Fiji, Golf Terrace Apartments, Westin Denarau, and Sheraton Fiji Resort. | ||

| Golfers passing through Port Denarau Marina will certainly want to come back and experience the par 72 professional 18 hole golf course at the Denarau Golf & Racquet Club. | ||

| Another thing we did to pass time was to study the map of the Fiji Islands and the time it takes to reach each destination. We were headed to the Amunuca Island Resort located on Tokoriki Island about two hours away from Port Denarau by boat. If you have the money, there's always the option to skip the long boat ride and take a quick 15-20 minute helicopter ride out to the island of your choice. | ||

| The total cost of our resort connection transfers with South Sea Cruises was $440 FJD or about $220 USD round trip ($120 USD per person). Taking a helicopter transfer with a company such as Island Hoppers can cost anywhere from about $200 to $300 USD per person. We'd like to go back to Tokoriki Island in the future and stay at the Tokoriki resort located a short walk from Amunuca Resort. | ||
