What changes the fare
Fiji's bookable ferry fares follow three levers. Route length sets the base: a short hop like Denarau - South Sea Island costs a fraction of the five-hour run to the northern Yasawas, and the price climbs stop by stop up the chain. Travel date and demand move the rest - school holidays and peak season sit above quiet weeks. Your party completes it: each passenger is priced individually, children included.
What the ticket includes
The ticket covers the scheduled crossing with South Sea Cruises, including the tender hand-off where your island stop uses one. Connecting coaches from Nadi, Wailoaloa and Denarau hotels or from Nadi Airport are reserved with the operator once your ferry is booked - at least 24 hours before travel, naming your pickup point.
How to pay less without guessing
Compare like with like: same route, same date, both directions in one booking session. If your island plans are flexible, a stop further south in the Yasawas cuts both hours and fare. And book the two launch routes through their guides - Denarau - Mana Island and Denarau - Blue Lagoon - so the price you check belongs to exactly the crossing you mean.
Where this page stops
This page covers the bookable Denarau network. The domestic RoRo corridors and the Lautoka-based services publish their own fares with their operators, and regulated inter-island tariffs are set by Fiji's competition authority - verify those directly with the operator when you plan a RoRo journey; they are not sold here.
FAQ prices
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Fiji ferry fares.
Which currency are the prices in? +
You see the fare in your own currency. South Sea Cruises quotes in Fiji dollars, so the amount is converted at the current rate.
Why do the routes cost such different amounts? +
Distance is the main driver: the short Mamanuca transfers are the cheapest, and the fare rises the further north your Yasawa stop lies. Date and demand move it too, so the same route costs more in the school holidays than in a quiet week.
Is the return trip included? +
Each direction is its own ticket, booked at the same live fare logic. Book both legs together if your dates are fixed, and check the return departure for your date - especially on the Yasawa run with its one daily southbound pass.
What do children pay? +
South Sea Cruises publishes its child conditions with the ticket, and every passenger is priced individually. Enter the children with their ages when you book rather than assuming a rule.
Is there a fuel surcharge? +
South Sea Cruises currently applies a mandatory fuel surcharge (operator notice of April 2026). It is already in the price shown - nothing extra to pay at the terminal.
What if no price is shown for my route? +
Then treat it as "not bookable right now" rather than "free" or "sold out": check a neighbouring date in the timetable or ask South Sea Cruises.
