Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety:  Traffic moves on the left in Fiji. While most roads in urban areas are paved, they are poorly maintained. Roads outside the city are usually not paved. In the city, be especially attentive when driving after dark. Outside of the city, it is best to avoid driving after dark except in emergency or exceptional circumstances. Insufficient lighting, stray animals, unwary pedestrians, and potholes make driving dangerous and particularly hazardous at night.

Traffic Laws: Bicycle riders should be cautious as there is no separate lane for cyclists.

Public Transportation: Avoid using mini vans for public transportation, due to safety concerns. 

Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information.  Also, we suggest that you visit the website of Fiji’s national tourist office  and Land Transport Authority, which is the national authority responsible for road safety.

Aviation Safety Oversight:  The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government of Fiji’s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Fiji’s air carrier operations.  Further information may be found on the FAA’s safety assessment page.
