NZ to Fiji Holidays
Here in New Zealand, we have certainly been blessed with low rates of COVID in the community and the ability to go about our daily lives much of the time. Fiji has also been lucky during the pandemic, remaining untouched by COVID. This has us dreaming of the day we can once again travel to the beautiful Fiji Islands in 2021.
What’s not to love about Fiji – the weather is superb, there are miles of pristine beaches, the water is warm and is abundant with colourful marine life, the locals are welcoming and friendly, and the food is deliciously fresh.
How long does it take to fly from New Zealand to Fiji?
It’s a leisurely 3 hour flight from New Zealand to Fiji. Consider it the perfect reward for a rough 2020 / 2021.
- Fly from Auckland to Fiji : 3 hours, 8 minutes
- Fly from Wellington to Fiji : 3 hours, 44 minutes
- Fly from Christchurch to Fiji : 3 hours, 55 minutes
What is Fiji doing to protect New Zealander tourists from COVID?
The Care Fiji Commitment is a destination-wide program to assure travellers that Fiji is a COVID safe destination to choose for their next holiday.
The Care Fiji Commitment is a destination-wide assurance that Fiji is ready to welcome back travellers to its shores in a post COVID-19 world.

It builds on the success of Fiji’s containment of the virus and gives industry the tools they need to operate safely and aligned with the Government’s COVID-19 Safe Guidelines.
The program’s vision is that the Care Fiji Commitment is visible to travellers pre and during their visit to give them absolute confidence that Fiji is ready to welcome back visitors.
