Viti Levu, South Pacific, is the largest and most populated island in
Fiji. Take a ride to the Coral Coast where you can find fire-walking
demonstrations and traditional island dancing. Go deep-sea fishing or play a
couple rounds of golf at the Pacific Harbour. The island is also a jumping off
point to the Bega Lagoon, which is well known for it’s incredible diving. If
you’re looking for natural sites, Viti Levu Bay is the place to be, with its
beautiful waters and majestic mountains. This island is also home to the Fiji
Museum, the oldest in the South Pacific. If you’re looking for adventures,
like diving, surfing, or windsurfing; or you’re just looking for fun in the
sun, Viti Levu is a great place to go.Sugarcane, pineapples, rice, coconuts, and
cotton are the major products; tourism, sugar milling, and gold mining are also
important industries. Sugar and copra are the chief exports.
Of the 400 or so islands that make up the nation of Fiji, Viti Levu is the
largest – and a cultural crossroads of the South Pacific. Its'
international airport is located in Nadi.
Viti Levu is not so much a beach getaway (the best beaches and diving are
along the Coral Coast on the west side of the island), as a place rich with the
possibilities that come with tropical mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and
traditional Fijian villages. Hiking, rafting (including trips on bamboo rafts),
meke (story-telling dances) and kava ceremonies are all on the daily menu.
Viti Levu has it all--cities, offshore resorts, cane fields, nightlife, low
life, villages and as elsewhere in Fiji, no shortage of friendly local people.
Visitors should also note that the climate varies significantly from east to
west. The western side of the island is sun-drenched and dry whereas the verdant
and often soggy eastern side gets as much as 100 inches of rainfall a year.
