Why Choose This Transfer?

When arriving in Fiji, the last thing you want is to worry about confusing directions or unreliable transport. This private transfer service aims to take that stress off your shoulders, making your first impression of Fiji a positive one. You get greeted personally at Nadi Airport, with friendly staff holding a sign with your name. The process is straightforward, and the staff are described as well-trained with good customer service skills.
The price — just $27.09 per group (up to 2 people) — makes it an attractive option compared to many shared shuttles or taxis that might charge more or lack the same level of comfort. For such a reasonable fee, you get a luxurious, spacious vehicle that is fully air-conditioned, which is invaluable after a long flight. Plus, the special touches like shell leis and bottled water show they’re aiming to make your arrival memorable.
What to Expect During the Transfer

Once you land and clear customs, you’ll find your driver waiting in the arrivals area, holding a sign with your name. The greeting is described as warm and genuine, with staff giving you a shell lei and water—a nice gesture that adds a touch of Fijian hospitality right at the start.
The driver’s goal is to provide a smooth, comfortable ride. If you need to stop at an ATM, supermarket, or bottle shop along the way—perhaps to pick up some snacks or drinks—you can ask. The driver will happily accommodate this, and the recommended supermarket has a great bakery, good stock of beer and wine, and a friendly atmosphere.
The vehicle options include a variety of modern, eco-friendly models like the Toyota Fielder, luxury 8-seater Higer minivans, Toyota Hiace vans, Coaster buses, and even large coaches. When booking, you can select the vehicle that best suits your group size and luggage needs—no extra charges for luggage, which simplifies things.
