Nadi

About Nadi

Nadi is Fiji’s starting point for island adventures, with Port Denarau and Viti Levu’s western coast nearby.

Nadi’s relaxed tropical feel comes through in its Indian and Fijian influences, roadside markets, and welcoming local culture, with families well served by the range of outdoor activities. Nadi Town holds Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple, while the Garden of the Sleeping Giant and Sabeto Hot Springs & Mud Pool lie in Sabeto Valley.

Island trips depart from Port Denarau, and rainforest zip-lining reaches the Nadi Highlands. Most travelers allow three to seven days, with Denarau Island the usual area for a stay and Kokoda a local dish.
