Stepping off the plane at Nadi International Airport (NAN) usually hits you with a wall of warm, humid Pacific air the moment the cabin door opens. After a long-haul flight across the ocean, you just want to clear customs, grab your bags, and get horizontal at your hotel. Nadi’s arrivals hall is straightforward, but sorting out your ground transport ahead of time saves you from the scramble of negotiating fares in the terminal heat. Getting From the Airport to Nadi City Center # Nadi International Airport sits about 9 kilometers (roughly 5.5 miles) north of Nadi town, while the resort hub of Denarau Island is a bit further west, roughly a 20-minute drive. Because public buses from the airport require multiple transfers and can be unreliable with heavy luggage, pre-booked rides are the standard approach for most travelers arriving here.
