Coral Coast Drive Cost — Nadi to Pacific Harbour, line by line

Coral Coast is the "lazy drive south". Queens Road from Nadi (or Denarau) to Pacific Harbour is sealed, two-lane and posted 80 km/h for most of its 220 km. The road is narrow with soft shoulders and frequent one-lane bridges; allow 4 hours of pure driving for the full run, longer if you stop at Sigatoka Market, Sand Dunes or Natadola.

Fuel is cheap. Diesel is FJD 2.95/L, petrol FJD 3.30/L at most service stations (Mobil, Total, Energy Fiji Limited, BP). Petrol sedans burn ~8 L/100 km; 4WDs burn ~12 L/100 km. The full Nadi→Pacific Harbour drive burns ~17.6 L sedan vs ~26.4 L 4WD, or roughly FJD 58–87 in fuel. Round-trip doubles.

Sigatoka Market is a Wednesday-morning institution (technically open daily 06:00–17:00 but the action peaks on Wednesdays). Entry is free. Parking at the adjacent lot is FJD 2 for a sedan, FJD 5 for a 4WD or camper. Bring cash in small notes; most market vendors don't take card.

Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park sits 3 km west of Sigatoka town. Adult entry FJD 10, child FJD 5, plus a FJD 5 guide fee per group if you want to walk past the dunes lookout into the back dune system. Open 08:00–17:00 daily. Allow 90 minutes for the full loop.

Kula Eco Park is 30 km further south, near the Coral Coast resorts. Adult FJD 39, child FJD 19 — the most expensive ticketed stop on the drive. Half-day visit. The "Kids Feed the Iguana" session is FJD 5/person, worth it.

Natadola Beach parking is FJD 5 flat (sedan / 4WD). The beach is free and the surf is good for beginners. Avoid Sundays — locals use the beach.

Accommodation bands are indicative. Budget = FJD 250/night (basic guesthouse, no pool, no A/C), mid-range = FJD 450/night (resort with pool, A/C). Real Coral Coast resorts (Hideaway, Warwick, Outrigger) are FJD 600–1200/night and above what this tool prices.

• Not a hotel quote. Resort rates vary by season, occupancy and booking window. Always confirm with the property.
• Not a rental quote. The tool assumes you have a vehicle (rental or own). See the Rental IDP Checker for the rental question.
• Not food or restaurants. Local curry houses run FJD 12–18/head; resort restaurants FJD 35–55/head. Add separately.
• Not for the Sigatoka Valley highland detour. That's an unpaved 30–50 km loop that needs a 4WD and is not in this calculator.
• Not for Suva onward. From Pacific Harbour to Suva the road deteriorates; allow another 2.5 hours and an extra FJD 25 in fuel.
