Food Cost in Fiji
Meal prices in Fiji can vary, depending on the area and restaurants you choose, but, based on the spending habits of previous travelers, the average cost of food in Fiji can be about about $30 per day.
An average meal can be around $13, with breakfast prices usually cheaper than lunch and dinner. Also, as you can imagine, fast food and street food prices are lower than the cost of food to sit down restaurants. Also, meals are surprisingly affordable in many of the cafes and small restaurants available throughout Fiji.
The Cost of Local Transportation
Regarding transportation, the best way to get around Fiji is by bus. Pubic transportation can cost you around $8 per day, and the cost of taxi rides in Fiji can be significantly higher.
But, if you want more than to explore one island, you must travel by ferry and island-hop. If you don’t have a budget to respect, you can even get to other islands by plane.
When it comes to exploring Fiji, you can do this on your own, but keep in mind that it’s easier to access the major tourist attractions if you join one of the tours available. Renting a car is also a great idea, especially if you want to get off the beaten track. To hire a car, you need to be at least 21 years old.
Activity Costs
Prices for activities and tours depend. You can, for instance, visit Fiji’s most authentic village, Navala, beautifully located in the interior of Ba, for $118. But you can also offer yourself an amazing 8-Day Blue Lagoon Paradise Cruise for more than €2000.
