Flight time.

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

Calendar Icon

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.

"Kelly-Ann is so easy to work with. She booked my holiday in Nov 2023 and she's the only person I want booking my future holidays for me. She offers great advice and offers a fast and efficient service. She also has the patience of a saint with all the too-ing and fro-ing we went through while I figured out the best options for me. Thanks Kelly-Ann! You're the best."
