Starting Off: A Comfortable, Scenic Ride from Port Denarau to Double Tree

When your Fiji adventure begins or wraps up at the Port Denarau Marina, a private transfer with Sunny Tours offers a seamless, comfortable way to get to the Double Tree Resort on Sonaisali Island. For around $45.47 per group (up to three people), you’ll enjoy a quick 15 to 20-minute ride in a luxury Alphard vehicle—a step up from standard taxis, offering both style and reliability. The pickup is punctual, and the modern, well-maintained vehicles are a reassuring sight after a long flight or before heading home.
What we really appreciate about this transfer is its attention to detail—bottled water is included, and the air-conditioned vehicle ensures you stay comfortable, especially in Fiji’s warm climate. Plus, the scenic drive itself adds a little extra flavor to your day—passing through local villages, sugar cane fields, and glimpses of Nadi’s tourist town and the prominent Hindu temple—a reminder of the island’s diverse culture.
Two things we particularly like: First, the reliability of the service—drivers are always on time, making sure you reach your destination without stress. Second, the personalized, private nature of the transfer means no crowded shuttles or waiting around, making it ideal for families or small groups.
A small consideration: since the ride is relatively short, it’s a straightforward service, so if you’re after a more comprehensive tour or sightseeing experience, you’ll need to look elsewhere. This transfer suits travelers who value timing, comfort, and efficiency—perfect for those arriving or departing from Port Denarau wanting a hassle-free start or finish to their Fiji holiday.
