Fiji is cleaning up after storms caused flooding and landslides and left six people dead and around and 3,500 people in temporary shelters

Tourism Fiji said floodwaters have receded, all main roads are open and the destination’s tourism infrastructure, along with ground, air and sea transportation services, is back in full operation.

Nadi Town has reopened to traffic and the clean-up is underway with local storekeepers restocking shops in order to resume business.

The previously partially flooded Nadi-Denarau Island road is also clear of water with all resorts in the area reporting a full return to normal services and both inbound and outbound guests once again able to travel to and from Nadi International Airport.

Domestic carriers Pacific Sun Airlines and Northern Air flights are fully operational and helicopter transfers between the Coral Coast, Denarau and Nadi International Airport have now been expanded to once again include the outer islands.

On the water, both the Malolo Cat and Southsea Cruises/Awesome Adventures have recommenced full services into the Mamanuca Islands and the Yasawa Flyer’s inbound/outbound services into the Yasawa Islands have restarted.

Captain Cook Cruises has also resumed its fully accommodated and daily cruise program while Blue Lagoon Cruises’ schedules will recommence with a three-day cruise departing from Lautoka on Saturday.
