Rules in force · 9Island boats leave Port Denarau in the morning and early …
- Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
- Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
- Melanesia ↗Malaria is present in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and parts of Vanuatu (not Fiji or New Caledonia): ask a travel clinic about tablets before you go.
- Fiji ↗Many passports get a visitor permit on arrival, but rules differ by nationality and require onward travel: check the Fiji Immigration Department for your passport before booking.
- Fiji ↗Declare food, plant and animal products on arrival; Fiji enforces biosecurity checks at the airport.
- Fiji ↗Visiting a village: go with a guide or invitation, cover shoulders and knees, remove hats, and bring kava (yaqona) for the sevusevu welcome.
- Western Viti Levu (Nadi and Denarau) ↗Keep a buffer night near Nadi before an international flight: island boats can be cancelled by rough seas.
- Nadi ↗Island boats leave Port Denarau in the morning and early afternoon and can be cancelled by rough seas: do not book a same-day international flight after a boat return.
- Nadi ↗Temples and villages: cover shoulders and knees, remove shoes and hats, and follow the guide's instructions.
