Nadrau is on the Nadrau plateau inland of Lautoka.
The trip by road is in two stages. A F$60 and 75 minute taxi ride from Nadi through Lautoka and the village of Nailaga Ba (the home of the Paramount Chief of Ba Province) takes you to the inland village of Tavua. From this point you need to catch a lorry to Nadrau as the "roads" are in such poor condition that a normal car cannot make it. The cost of the lorry which can carry up to ten adults is F$70 each way. This leg of the (bumpy trip) takes between two and two and a half hours. (Go to the toilet before leaving for Tavua!)
We can organise the taxi pick up to Tavua town from anywhere on Viti Levu, and will need to organise the lorry on your behalf for the final leg of the journey.

The travel cost each way to Nadrau from Nadi is F$130.
Alternatively you can catch a local bus from Nadi to Lautoka and then from Lautoka to Tavua for about F$5. You will still need to get a lorry for the trip to Nadrau.
